I have a 2013 Escape SE 2.0 with 151k miles. I replaced the boost solenoid, but the problem seems to still be happening. Not sure what the issue could be or the most common cause of this. Any thoughts on this code?
Sounds like it could be the turbo. The wastegate arm tends to wear out, causing it to rattle and leak boost.
So if the whole turbo assembly needs replacing, what’s the best option? I know Garrett has a $600 OEM turbo and a $1200 performance version, but is it really worth putting that into a 151k-mile, 11-year-old car?
Honestly, your turbo outlasted most of them, so it’s done pretty well.
