i also have a 2014 X! with the same issue. I need tyoget it fixed as quickly and economically as possible. The code reader pulls the P1209 code and when in limp mode it seems that the turbos are not working; I dont hear the "hisssss" of the turbos at all. Surprisingly, last night I went to the store, the check engine light was still on but I had "FULL POWER" and the turbos engaged as normal.
Could it be that the wastegate is getting stuck open or closed which casuses the reduced power?
I see that some people have replaced the westegate acuator and some say that they replaced the wastegate solenoid. What is the difference?
The dealer quoted me $550 for the new wastegate but said that they could not find a separate solenoid part or part number. Is the solenoid just a part of the entire wastergate or is it a separate part?
