Turbo Underboost Error P0299
I have a 2010 TDI Sportwagon and have had several times when Turbo Underboost Error code P0299 appears on my dashboard.
This mostly happens when I am at freeway speed and it causes a significant loss of power.
I can reset it as I am driving by turning off the ignition switch and quickly turn it back on.
I have been to several VW dealers and they can not pinpoint the problem.
All they say is that they can replace sensors one at a time until the error goes away. Has anyone else had this problem?
The car runs normally around town, but I am hesitant to drive it a long distance.
Thanks

Special Notes:
When found in 2.0l TFSI:
Check Boost Pressure Control Valve (N249), for cracked rubber diaphragm. A new/optimized Valve is available under Part # 06H-145-710-D (or newer).
Rest of World (RoW) vehicles see: Technical Product Information (TPI) 2016331 for details.
North American Region (NAR) vehicles see: Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 01-07-70 or 2013392 for details.
When stored in conjunction with misfire codes and/or fuel trim faults see the notes associated with the following faults regarding Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) failure: Crankcase Breather Valve
If the Turbocharger is faulty due to mechanical/internal problems or the exhaust system is restricted (typically the Catalyst) this fault may be the end result.
When found in VW Golf/Jetta (1K): 2.0l CR-TDI (CBEA/CJAA):
Verify the mechanical part of the Exhaust Pressure Flap Control Module (J883) is not seized or binding.
When found in Audi A4/S4/RS4/Cabriolet (8K): 2.0l (CAEB):
See Technical Product Information (TPI) 2031245/6 - turbocharger excessive waste-gate play.
