Hello i have 2 fault codes P0299 and P2196 pleas help as i need the car to be fixed for a carer who is a friend of the family. thank you
What seems to be the problem with the car, other than the codes?
the faults only appear when going uphill i then lose power but the turbo does work as i can feel it kick in
Yeah, definitely sounds like a vacuum leak. I would check all the hoses and on a turbo model especially make sure the tubes are clamped down. Boost can some times cause them to blowoff under the pressure, particularly if you've' modified the boost controller to a higher pressure.
thank you verry much i will look at first light and update cheers once again .

P2196 O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich P0299 Turbocharger Under boost. This to me sounds like a common case of vacuum leak particularly to the turbo waste gate. This is causing it not to provide as much boost, which in turn could be causing the engine to run rich. Check for leaking vacuumn hoses.
