Check engine code: P0299

Chevrolet Cruze 2015 Sedan, 1.4 T AT 88000 miles
At a speed above 120 km/h, the check engine light comes on and the horse power of the car decreases. During diagnostics, it appears that the turbo does not work, it puts itself into protection mode. This happens with the P0299 error code. Sensing low air pressure in the turbo. Some masters advise me to change the turbo altogether, some tell me to repair the turbo, and some tell me to change the turbo manifold. Considering that Chevrolet parts are expensive in our country, I want to solve this problem with accurate diagnostics at a low budget. The car has been used in Azerbaijan for 4 years

Este veículo dificilmente dá problema na turbina e mais provável tenha algum vazamento nas mangueiras você deveria primeiro verificar se não tem vazamento de pressão nas mangueira depois verifique se a West gate está vedando também pode ser isso. E depois dessas verificações retire a turbina verifique se o rotor da turbina está ok. Se estiver tudo ok considere trocar a turbina ou recondicionar.

Dealing with this with my 2013 Chevy Cruze - The error code popped up after using a fuel system cleaner...not sure if it related or just a coincidence, since I am having power issues when accelerating...

Problem sorted... apparently what can happen is... if you start your car shift it 10 metres and then turn it off and leave it... It can trap fuel in the system and flood it... it will not start unless you put the accelerator to the floor... common problem...

Check engine light on after PCV valve repair.

Chevrolet Cruze 2015 LT sedan 1.4l ecotech 4cyl gasoline 129060 miles
2015 chevrolet cruze lt 1.4l dohc ecotech 4 cyl, has had 3 different camshaft covers/ pcv valves since owning and the check engine light is back on with the same issue showing lean idle code and pcv code 1071. Mechanic is stumped and suggests whole engine replacement any other routes that can be taken without the extreme expense or time?

manifold failure often leads to valve cover failure, and PCV tube breaks during removal so make sure you change it

Check engine light comes on depending on the fuel level in the tank

Chevrolet Cruze 2019 Hatchback 250000 miles
Check engine light comes on depending on the fuel level in the tank. On a full tank it goes away, when I reach 3/4 it comes on when I reach 1/2 it goes away when I reach 1/4 it comes on. Not sure what’s going on.

Saw online it take two options why it light, it might be a air leak or problem with the supply of fuel to engine, pump or filter.
Also can be a sensor malfunction

Please look this up. I also have a 2016 chevy cruze and have been fighting to get something done due to this same issue. Please call the GM corporate offices and complain as well file with the NHTSA and BBB if need be. They have blown me off and don't care to help. Below is the PIP bulletin for this. https://gm.oemdtc.com/7914/pip5507b-st…

Hello

I bought a Holden cruze turbo diesel 2012 6 speed manual transmission (same engine as Chevrolet cruze).
My car shakes back and forth between 1500-2000RPM, sometimes late response or no power when I accelerate, or accelerates alone when I use the accelerator. Code 84, DPF, engine lights flashing

Persistent P0420 Code

Chevrolet Cruze 2015 LT, Turbo 111000 miles
My check engine light keeps coming back on with the code P0420 on my 2015 Chevy Cruze LT. I've replaced the front catalytic converter, both O2 sensors (one is aftermarket and one is GM made based on advice from a Chevy mechanic), replaced all the spark plugs, replaced coolant hoses, the coolant container, did a smoke test and found no leaks... I'm out of ideas on how to fix this code. The car drives just fine unless I ride it hard (fast accelerations and/or high speeds for long distances), then it will stutter and the check engine light will flash. If I back off and give it a few moments, the… Read complete

Zenny from United States a year ago
No, still haven't fixed it. I asked on Reddit and some people think the fact that I replaced the original catalytic converter with an aftermarket one could be the issue. Did you replace yours with a GM cat or aftermarket cat?
Abaa from United States a year ago
I got a 2013 Chevy Cruze mine stuttered too at one point I would check your coil pack because if one of those things goes out I will make your car misfire and stutter that’s what my issue was. As for the p0420 code I have the same thing I’ve replaced my catalytic converter and my o2 sensors but this whole time the problem has just been a small exhaust leak

Rough idle, sluggish acceleration.

Chevrolet Cruze 2016 hatchback, 1.4l petrol, z series, automatic 97350 miles
Rough idle at idle, but fine when driving; acceleration feels sluggish; suction when removing the dipstick; slight fuel smell. My theory is either PCV, spark plugs, or coil packs. I've ordered an OBD scanner, but want an opinion.
There's also no check engine light yet

Cam shaft faulty

Chevrolet Cruze 2009 Auto sedan 9000 miles
Hey has anyone else had the issue of the cam shaft playing up? I've replaced the sensor twice and the whole cam unit itself... now the engine light is back on... running sluggish even though everything has been replaced... the solenoids have been cleaned out and everything is near new in this engine... what could it possibly be... !??? I've taken it back to Holden and they said it was the whole cam shaft so it's replaced and now the engine light is back on... getting over this
