P2563Turbo boost control position sensor range/performance
P2563 means “Turbo boost control position sensor range/performance”. It's a generic powertrain code (auxiliary inputs), so it means the same on every make, including VW, Škoda, Audi, SEAT and Cupra.
- Fix soon
- SystemBoost
- TypeGeneric (same on all makes)
How urgent is it?
Worth fixing soon; usually drivable meanwhile, but watch for symptoms.
Which system and module
Scanline files it under Boost. The first letter, P, means powertrain (engine, transmission, emissions).
Usually stored by the engine control unit (VCDS address 01, Engine).
What usually causes it
- Variable-vane turbo actuator or position sensor
- sticking vanes
Typical causes are a starting point, not a diagnosis of your car.
What a shop would usually check first
The sensor and its wiring; implausible signals often come from a connector or a damaged sensor.
