P2262 on Volvo
Turbo Boost Pressure Not Detected - Mechanical
P2262 on Volvo vehicles indicates turbo boost pressure not detected - mechanical. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Volvo model — most commonly on V60. This code means the engine computer commanded the turbocharger to make boost but the expected boost pressure was not actually detected, and it traced the shortfall to a mechanical cause rather than a sensor or electronic glitch. The computer compares commanded boost to measured boost, and when the turbo isn't physically delivering it, this code sets. You'll typically notice a clear loss of power, especially under acceleration or load. It generally points to a mechanical problem in the turbo, its plumbing, or the wastegate/boost-control hardware. Typical repair costs on Volvo range from $1,600 to $4,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2262
- •Boost leak in intercooler piping, hoses, or clamps
- •Stuck, leaking, or worn wastegate
- •Failed or sticking turbocharger (worn bearings/vanes)
- •Clogged or stuck variable-geometry turbo vanes
- •Faulty boost control solenoid or actuator
- •Restricted intake or exhaust flow
- •Disconnected or cracked vacuum/boost control lines

- D4 Diesel Turbocharger Wear (European-market diesel) — Power Loss, Black Smoke and Whistling2011-2018
Market note: the D4 diesel was sold in Europe and other non-US markets (the US-market V60 was gasoline/PHEV only), so this applies to European/RHD-market cars. The 190 hp D4 diesel (both the older 2.0L 5-cylinder D5204T and the later VEA 4-cylinder D4204T) commonly develops turbocharger wear, typically around 80,000-120,000 km (roughly 50,000-75,000 miles), and earlier if oil-change intervals are stretched or the car is used mostly for short trips. Worn turbine blades and failing shaft seals cause gradually reduced acceleration that develops into a marked power drop, black smoke from the exhaust under load, and whistling or metallic noises. On the variable-geometry turbo of the VEA engine, a sticking VNT actuator/vanes can also trigger boost-pressure faults and limp mode. This is a distinct failure from DPF clogging, EGR fouling, or crankcase-ventilation (PCV) issues, though a neglected turbo often coexists with those. Note: the diesel D4 was not sold in the US market.

What does P2262 mean on Volvo?▼
P2262 stands for "Turbo Boost Pressure Not Detected - Mechanical." This code means the engine computer commanded the turbocharger to make boost but the expected boost pressure was not actually detected, and it traced the shortfall to a mechanical cause rather than a sensor or electronic glitch. The computer compares commanded boost to measured boost, and when the turbo isn't physically delivering it, this code sets. You'll typically notice a clear loss of power, especially under acceleration or load. It generally points to a mechanical problem in the turbo, its plumbing, or the wastegate/boost-control hardware. On Volvo specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P2262 on Volvo vehicles?▼
Common causes on Volvo: Boost leak in intercooler piping, hoses, or clamps, Stuck, leaking, or worn wastegate, Failed or sticking turbocharger (worn bearings/vanes), Clogged or stuck variable-geometry turbo vanes, Faulty boost control solenoid or actuator.
