Problem with the turbocharger boost pressure sensor

Hello everyone, I own a 2015 VW Golf with 135,000 km on the odometer. I recently noticed that the engine control light is on. Upon checking, I found the error code P2563, which seems to be related to the turbocharger boost pressure control position sensor. The EPC light is also on. Could you explain to me what this sensor is and how I could solve this problem? Thank you very much for your help.

The P2563 code indicates an issue with the turbocharger boost control position sensor, which monitors the position of the turbocharger's vanes to ensure proper boost pressure. Start by checking the sensor's electrical connections and wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion. If everything looks fine, the sensor itself might be faulty and may need replacement. It's important to address this issue promptly, as it can affect engine performance. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!

Where is it located, and what does it look like, this boost sensor on the intake?

The turbocharger boost pressure control position sensor is typically located near the turbocharger itself. It may be mounted on or near the turbocharger housing. The sensor is usually a small, rectangular component with an electrical connector attached to it. You might need to consult your vehicle's service manual for the exact location and appearance, as it can vary. Make sure the engine is cool before inspecting. Let me know if you need more help!

I still haven't found the sensor! If you have any leads on the boost pressure sensor! Thank you

If you're having trouble locating the boost pressure sensor, try following the air intake path from the air filter box to the turbocharger. The sensor is often mounted on the intake pipe or near the turbocharger. It might help to look for a component with a wiring harness connected to it. If you're still unable to find it, consider consulting a repair manual specific to your VW Golf or seeking assistance from a professional mechanic. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!
