Thank God I saw this video👍😂 My desired presure ant boost sensor behave like in this situation. Was breaking my thoughts after checked everything, where might be that loss. Will connect definitely with the t-piece, so turbo actuator solenoid will get vacuum straight from vacuum pump. That egr cooler where all vacuum comes out are such a pain to many insignia owners. You are a genius!!!

A big thanks for this video, our 2013 Astra 2.0 cdti GTC had the SES error and following this video tracked it back to vermin having eaten the top off the little centre blanking pipe on the EGR cooler vacuum block. Fitted a replacement length of pipe blanked with an M8 screw Job done :) Codes cleared fingers crossed (though everything looking good with good vacuum and turbo actuator moving as it should) .

Found this video after doing all the same tests you did, was hoping someone could tell me what that big stupid plastic lump is. I'm guessing it's a way moderating the vacuum from the pump to prevent overboost. Great fix though, worked like a charm for me. Coincidentally I had to do this on a time limit as the guy was going on holiday lol. Great job. Wish I could give this more likes.

The large plastic lump with the 3 vaccum inputs (one being blanked off) is the egr cooler vacuum housing

Hey, is that plastic box thing the vacuum pipes go in to not an accumulator? A search online says it's an EGR cooler housing which I find strange. Why would it have vacuum hoses going in?

That valve you bypassed is the N18 egr solenoid. I think you've cracked the problem - the amount of siggys with this issue and everyone is throwing turbos and sensors at them. I've come to the conclusion that a faulty N18 might be dumping vacuum to the egr cooler actuator thus robbing the vnt actuator of the vacuum it needs to control the vanes. I've noticed with mine, only in 2nd gear if I boost it then let off I can hear a metallic scrape noise. Sounds just like the vanes snapping shut under the actuator spring tension rapidly because vacuum was dumped by the N18. I'm not sure if further, it might be possible that if say the vanes are fully open when the vacuum holding them open is lost due to the N18, would the pressure of the exhaust gases while still boosting in that split second keep them open momentarily from the pressure of the gases, which will then cause the MAP to throw a p0234? I think either way, you found a fantastic solution in the interim.

Guys, what will be the permanent solution for this? Is it replacing the vacuum tank? or the egr pressure solenoid on top of the tank? Thank you.

I have a 1.6 Diesel 2020 Model Opel Insignia vehicle. And the P0299 error code does not go away. My vehicle is on a ramp and bottom throttle goes into error in 3rd and 4th gears. Turbo overhaul, Particle filter overhaul. Map and Egr valves changed. Air filter changed. But the problem did not go away. How can I solve the problem
What's the black vacuum valve the tube was connected to called?

My 2013 year 1,6 CDTI has no torque under 2000 rpm. It's really difficult to get car moving on slight uphill without stalling it. Do you think that this problem could be my engine as well. There's no fault code on.
