Volkswagen / VW P2263 Fault Code | Cause, Symptoms & Repair

P2263 Fault Code: What does it mean? 

The P2263 fault code relates to an issue within the turbocharger system. The fault could be due to the operation of the turbo itself, a faulty turbo actuator or a problem with the pressure control within the intake system.

The actuator adjusts the VNT / VTG mechanism, which can become contaminated with carbon build from exhaust gasses which applies additional load to the actuator causing premature failure. The symptoms that customers report include limited or reduced engine performance or an engine that increasingly stalls. In addition to the P2263 fault code, you could also encounter P00AF or P0299.
