in hopes that this may help someone.
I pulled codes for P1250 and P0299, other symptoms were sluggishness, loads of soot when mashing on the skinny pedal. Also appeared to not heat up though its been below zero here, so hard to tell
I replaced part number 4606226AC which is listed as a vacuum Solenoid, apparently for the turbo.
Cleared the codes yesterday and they stayed away. only a couple short trips, but heat appears to be quicker and no soot under load anymore.
random pic off internet for visual reference
part is located up near the passenger firewall. Clip toward the back needs to be pulled out to lift the part off its mounting post. electrical connection also needs to be have part opened a little to allow for release. swap hose connections and slip back on mounting post and connect electrical and good to go. Takes a minute to replace. 2 with careful deliberation.
I've seen another post here where they were quoted 260$ dealer to replace. that's a large bill. I'd expect maybe 50$ labor as they have bills to pay too, but it shouldn't take more than 1/2 hour for diagnostic and replacement. maybe an hour by the time the wander to the parts dept. and back with a stop to chat with the nice ladies in the office.
My cost was about 40$ delivered for the part. I'm not one for endorsing vendors and a google search of the part number will find many leads.
