Common causes of P0243 code in w210 E300D?

Mine has started recently setting the P0243 (wastegate solenoid malfunction) code occasionally, which means no boost and it makes the car too slow to merge onto the freeway safely (ill-advised metering lights mean merging onto the freeway is often a full throttle 0-75 mph exercise to avoid getting run over by a semi truck in the places I regularly drive).

But anyway, from a google search there are so many things (MAF, waste gate solenoid, actual wastegate, catalytic converter, egr, various vacuum lines, etc) that can cause this I could probably buy another car for cheaper than just replacing stuff until I guess right. Has anyone has this happen and actually fixed it? I have found that with most extremly hard to diagnose problems asking someone else how they fixed it is usually the best place to start.
