🟡 Monitor Closely

The variable geometry turbo on M57 engines uses movable vanes to control boost at different RPM. Carbon deposits cause the vanes to stick, triggering overboost or underboost codes P0299/P0234/P2563 and limp mode. Specialist turbo cleaning resolves the fault in approximately 40% of cases. Replacement required for worn actuators.
