My car got the error P029900 the other day. Is there anyway to know if the turbo is failing or broken?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

If turbo is broken you wont be going very fast. A description of the fault would help as not everyone has a Passat2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

Dont jump to the conclusion that your turbo is damaged - turbos are very simple and therefore very reliable. Not saying that it might not be damaged but there are other things to check which can trigger the P0299 error code, like a boost leak from a loose hose clamp or a damaged rubber boost pipe etc.Comment

Well the problem is the turbo actuator (if that's what it is called) that was found to be not working. Does anybody know what the part number is? Car is a 2012 125kw 4motion saloonComment

This is the part number I have found by googling various sites for a turbo actuator for my car 03L253010FV.
Can somebody confirm that it is the correct part. Also is there a later version of this that I can use?Comment

I have found that I can buy the part brand new on ebay at half the price of the ones advertised on sites in the UK. Then I found I could get the part even cheaper yet again off aliexpress. I am a bit skeptical about buying an engine part made in China. Should I be concerned?Comment
