That's when the code is thrown.
Echoing IraHayes question: did the engine light come on? It most likely did.
If the solenoid is failing, the code should return as soon the engine has been started. In your case, the code is back after 3 months.
Do you have a fuse diagram for your vehicle? The wastegate solenoid might have its own fuse.
Also - electrical connections at the solenoid could be corroded.

Hi,
I reset it again after my last post and came back again on start up today. It seems to choose when to come though because I’ve driven the car in between my last post and and didn’t get the signal.
In fact I just turned off the car and turned it on while writing this after driving a mile or two and it’s gone again. Soon to come again for sure.
I don’t have a fuse diagram but do you think this is something I can just change the fuse for ? I was thinking I may have to change the wastegate component.
I really hope this isn’t a serious issue / fix.
