Looking for solutions to problems with the boost pressure control on a 2017 Opel Meriva
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2017 Opel Meriva is experiencing issues with the check engine light, loss of power, and twitching during acceleration, suspected to be related to the boost pressure control. A similar problem in a 2015 Opel Astra was resolved by replacing a defective wastegate valve actuator. The suggested solution is to have a specialist diagnose the issue, as it may require a costly repair if the wastegate valve actuator is indeed the problem. An appointment with a mechanic is scheduled to confirm the diagnosis and address the issue.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply. My last inspection was at 67117 km and I haven't driven much since then. A faulty wastegate valve actuator sounds unpleasant, but if it fixes the problem, it's probably necessary. I hope it's a minor problem for me. I will definitely discuss it with my garage. Thanks again for your advice!

No problem, buddy, that's what we're here for. The faulty wastegate valve actuator was a real knock on the head, but if the symptoms match, that could be it. Of course I can't say for sure, only a specialist can diagnose it accurately. If it really is the same problem, be prepared for a hefty bill. In any case, I wish you the best of luck and hope that you can solve the problem quickly. Please let us know what it was in the end. The more experience we gather here, the better we can help each other. Keep your chin up!

Hi buddy, I know this problem. I had a similar problem with my 2015 Opel Astra, so it's not far from your Meriva. I'm not an expert on cars, but have a bit of experience with my own car and its maintenance. When this happened to my car, the reason was actually the defective wastegate valve actuator. The repair at my garage cost me 1820.0 euros, which certainly wasn't cheap, but it solved the problem. Regardless, it would be helpful if you could give a few more details about your vehicle. What exactly are we talking about here? Mileage? Which engine exactly is installed? That would help you to assess more precisely what might be going on. Hopefully you can solve the problem quickly. Good luck with that!
