Error code P0234 = boost pressure exceeded

Unread post by cit-rotti »

Error code P0234 = boost pressure exceeded.
Temporary fault - occurred 2 times in quick succession in trailer mode about 1900 kg at approx. 171000 km.
Vehicle: C5 R/2007/2,2 HDI/175PS/ VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
Now to my problem. I know that this error can have dozens of causes, but maybe with the error code and the following description a narrowing down is possible.
The vehicle goes into emergency mode and can therefore hardly be driven in trailer mode.
Of course, a diagnostic device to clear the fault was not included.
After stopping, disconnecting/connecting the battery (negative terminal) and the obligatory minutes of silence, the box worked again.
Questions:
The model has 4 solenoid valves and lots of vacuum hoses for the turbo control - is there any sign of damage in the turbo control or was it just a coincidence?
Or even a turbo damage with a jammed adjustment or or...?
Thank you for any information and help.
Greetings Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang

If this fault is present, then official guidance is to replace the turbocharger pressure regulation electrovalve (1).

I believe that is part: 1618X2.

Also check that the filter on the atmospheric port of the valve is not blocked or obstructed.
