Ok, had the P0299 come on. 2nd time it came on. Came on once before then went off. Dealer said they couldn't do anything the first time. Came on again and they replaced the turbo. Get the car back and it over heats. Take it back to the dealer. Of course they can't make it over heat and they have had the car 4 days now. It's been 97 degrees the last couple of days so if it is not going to over heat on a day like that it is probably good. My best guess is an air pocket in the cooling system and it worked its way out. This is also the 2nd time this dealer gave me the car back after warranty service and it over heated. So yeah, this is obviously the last time I deal with them. I am now worried that I am going to have more issues down the road because of the 2 overheating issues. Luckily both times we were local and were able to get it right to them.
Anyway, for changing the turbo, I thought I read where they have to drain the oil to replace the turbo? If that is true, then they put the old oil back in. Or maybe it was the coolant they have to drain which would explain why it could have gotten an air pocket or whatever happened to it.
Sorry for the rant. Just not happy with them. Unfortunately next closest GM dealer that is not owned by the same company is about 30 miles away.
