2.0t TSI Intake Manifold UPDATE!

[@bradleyparrett4483]

Hey there, I dont know if you're reading these still but you just saved me big time. I had a coolant leak when I was out of town. I didn't have the proper tools and couldn't seem to locate the source. It was leaking too bad to travel and it was too far to tow home so I took it to a shop with a lot of good reviews. I was told it was the water pump and it cost me a good chunk of money to get it repaired but when I got the car back it was pulling the p2015 code. Of course the car had 130,000 miles and that's only covered to 120,000. I didn't have money to fix the new problem so I had to drive around for a while with the check engine light on and suffer through rough starts among other issues and I managed to get the money to buy a new manifold. I watched your video a couple times and dug in on the repair myself. I got the old manifold out and transferred the throttle body and the other parts over and installed the new manifold. I cleared the codes and started the car and it immediately pulled the p2015 again. I started searching for other causes when I ran across this video and happened to watch it. I didn't realize there was an updated manifold. My old manifold was exactly the same as the new one so I was curious. Apparently I already had the updated version which was probably from the previous owner. So why was I having a problem? Anyway, as you were going over the differences, around 3:14 you mention that the metal nipple on the vacuum is supposed to be open. WTF? My old manifold had a little rubber traffic cone looking thing on that nipple and I had transferred it over! I ran to my car and managed to get the nipple off without taking anything else apart. I cleared the codes again, started it up and the problem is gone! I'm pretty sure that mechanic had seen the mileage on my car and stuck that on there, knowing it would pull the code and would be out of warranty. It makes me wonder if my water pump was even the original problem or if it was just a leaky hose. If you see this, thank you so much for saving me in the end. You also may want to make a video about how a dishonest mechanic can do this and maybe save more people from this issue. Thanks again.

[@eyeareels9451]

Having the same issue. Waterpump replaced and now I have a p2015 code... Are you/ were you running a tune?

[@bradleyparrett4483]

@@eyeareels9451 No tune, just stock. See the metal nipple he is touching at 3:25? That was covered. It needs to be open because its a vent. When installed, it's on the bottom of the manifold on the right side. You may be able to see it with a small mirror or you may be able to reach under and feel it. Make sure that nipple is not covered. If it's not covered then you may need to remove the manifold and see if that tube is clogged rather than capped. If it's not that nipple then I can't help, sorry!

[@TonySims888]

If you look carefully in the video between about 3:40 and 3:50, you can see both manifolds are marked "PA6 GF30." This means 30% glass fiber reinforced polyamide. In other words, the composition of the material is the same on old and new manifolds.

[@AnHRTBus]

you and Paul are great resources for nearly all things VAG. more than just showing how it's done, you guys take the time to explain failures and common issues to great lengths so your viewers and owners can understand them; pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say that we really appreciate that time and devotion you guys offer to your viewers and communities.

[@ArcadiaVibe]

I had the pleasure of having every dash light come on at once today... 37 engine codes... Thankfully, I believe the Intake manifold will resolve almost all of them. The car still starts, but misfiring, aggressively idle, etc., no odd sounds, knocking, or ticking.

[@harrynazarian3184]

Man, since getting my Audi/VW A4, I been watching your videos religiously! Thanks for all the work you do. I am surprised you don't have anywhere near a million subscribers. I know I will be linking your videos on my Facebook for sure!

[@drkipmpnin9e]

dude I've spent the last 2 months trying to figure out whats wrong with my tig and been using my 2020GLI toy as my daily, this is exactly what I've been looking for since doing a smoke test. Can't thank you enough. Liked and Subbed Brother!!!!

[@dantait2983]

Thank you so much! Been having issues on and off for a year and this allowed me to figure out that it was the actuator arm broke from the flaps creating a large vacuum leak. Having you mention the extended warranty saved me big bucks too. Thanks again!

[@jswallet]

I just threw a P2015 code today in my 2009 Audi A4. I'm going to have Audi fix it. Like you said, Audi has extended the warranty to 10 years or 120k from what I understand. I can report back. Thanks for the vids!

[@jswallet]

Turns out only B7s have a service bulletin. B8s haven't failed enough to have Audi issue the extended warranty. Arg!

[@smiller1413]

Charles, You always fill videos with so much information they have helped me in ways I assume you never really imagined. Thank you for the videos you have created over the years which have been so helpful even if the primary content of the videos is not what helped me in my research! Sometimes comments you make in the videos have helped me to understand something I was trying to figure-out on my own as a "thrifty VW DIY mechanic"! This one, for instance, helped me to understand that the runners hyperextend when the throttle is wide-open, go beyond their stops and create the sensor fault...a condition fixed by the new manifold design... but I used the ECS intake manifold repair kit, properly applied (thanks to one of your comments) to my intake to fix the P2015 problem I was having. I have other examples of how you have helped me... if you ever desire feedback.

[@ncrdisabled]

I am a disabled vet so money was always tight . Me and my parents were always american car and truck buyers . It was not allowed to buy anything but american. So when I moved out for 12 years before going in the NAVY on submarines . I always bought american and since my dad was a mechanic over 20 years when I was 17 but growing up the places he worked at since it was taxi places let me help from the age of 7 . I swept floors and other things but he showed me from oil change to engine and trans replacement I seen there belair taxi with over 300k . I went in the NAVY and got sent over seas to Holy loch scotland and you could not get american cars over there and since I was a e-4 at the time the NAVY would not pay to ship my car over .But when I got sent to Kings Bay GA I got back into american. But after buying blazers and other SUV and small cars I had so many problems with the transmission on the suv s . I did all the proper maintenance , I bought a toyota camry and had it for 5 years with over 200k on it .I hate to say this but toyota makes some pretty good cars right now I have a scion xa with 120k and small easy to fix except the inner wheel bearing which was a common failure. MY family down south still complains to me about not buying american so to make them happy I bought a 1961 stripped down fairlane with a 4 banger so far 3 years no problem I have been in NY up 90 miles from NYC so salt is the main killer not my cars mechanics .

[@eddiehobby1800]

For anyone wondering, I bought this manifold for my 2011 2.0 >>>TFSI

[@AL-HD]

We made this Intake Manifold in Mann+Hummel Germany every day. over 550 pieces in a single shift. I never know what they were for. all I remember is my fingers are swollen and in pain from installing that vacuum actuator all day 03:08

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Thanks for the love!!!

[@-6516-]

I appreciate you brother, I'm an ex mechanic but still dabble quite a bit. Your videos are killer!!!! Bought wife a new vw cc in 2010 and I'm on my second manifold already and only have 52k on the car... I will be pulling out the manifold to upgrade to the new manifold! Thanks to you and Paul and DAP for the info on the updated manifold!!!!! DAP and DUB on.....

[@HumbleMechanic]

SWEET!!! Thank you :)

[@deepthoughtdeepbreath2383]

I know it's been a while since you worked on the car. But I was just wondering if you would be able to help me figure out why i'm still getting trouble.Code p 2015. It's for a two thousand thirteen, volkswagen tiguan

[@-6516-]

What you need to do is get the intake rudder kit as well as the actuator, did you replace these and clean everything?

[@-6516-]

Also make sure the intake rudder actuator is plugged in all the way and the arm is connected all the way

[@chinnyvision]

Thank you. My garage kept insisting it was the sensor but I suspected it was the manifold. They told me it would be a expensive gamble to change it but having viewed your video I became convinced it was indeed the manifold. Like a new car now. Cheers.

[@IliesCriptos]

Hola me podrías decir que síntomas presentaba tú coche antes de cambiar el colector ?

[@RedEyedJedi]

I've just removed my intake manifold on my scirocco 2.0 tsi after following Charles video. I need to change the injectors. I'm so happy to learn I already have the new type manifold :)

[@josegarza6993]

Just wanted to say thanks for the video. My MKV came up with the p2015 code and the dealership replaced it for free under warranty. Would have never known if it wasn’t for your video. I appreciate it. Also your video helped me switch out the pcv with little to no trouble (dropping the torx bolt into the engine bay) keep up the good work. I’m about to switch out the upper timing chain cover because now that’s leaking. 😕

[@HumbleMechanic]

AWESOME!

[@Urbanmk7]

I cant wait for a metal aftermarket replacement for high pressure settings using a tune, like no lift shift and 2 step. However I am very happy that vw is addressing this!

[@jacobdefenbaugh5093]

hey, HumbleMachanic, if you want to know if the plastic is different, there should be a marking on it, European companies are usually really good about marking them. I saw in the video that the new one is PA6-GF30 meaning it is nylon that is glass filled 30%. That is the same stuff good power tools is made out of, it is very stong.

[@YZJB]

Jacob Defenbaugh Do you watch AvE?

[@godfreypoon5148]

+alexaescht Skookum choocher.

[@wildturkey11001]

so good on vdub for improving the manifold but I know ive gotten good at pulling these things off and depending on mileage performing and intake valve cleaning I could have it done in and hour and a half. easy money on warranty. 120k and its customer pay after that. ill be sad to see that go but happy to see the line is always getting better! DAS ENGINEERING!

[@kyle508]

Had my intake replaced under warranty on my 2013 GTI just today. I'm glad they put the revised part on. Hopefully it holds up!

[@HumbleMechanic]

I hope so too. I haven't heard of any failure of this style, but it's pretty new.

[@Ubaldocastro97]

Kyle Bauer was it covered under powertrain warranty?

[@kyle508]

Yes it was

[@Andrew-on5do]

Kyle Bauer I have a 2013 out of warranty but they extended the warranty ok the 2012 to 120k miles. Do you know if it's the same part? Vw corporate said they couldn't help me. Mine is throwing a 2015cel but not showing any signs of running incorrectly.

[@tnixon9179]

Kyle Bauer I

[@grantbradley5084]

Watching your video convinced me to change the factory plastic manifold to an IE aluminum manifold on my 2012 A4 2.0.

[@wyattoneable]

You do some nice editing Charles. As you may remember I don't own a German made car but I do have a German wife. I'm still looking for a fix.

[@Priest_Of_Zebak]

Should have went russian.

[@modshop1828]

Hahaha. This caught me off guard and I almost choked.

[@ProjectDv2]

It's been 7 years, but I thought I'd toss a note out there, the vacuum solenoid has an extra vent port at the back, but it is *not* supposed to be left open. You are supposed to install a tube that terminates in a filter to prevent the solenoid from drawing in dirt and moisture and falling prematurely. The part number for this "breather hose" is 06H-133-583F. I actually came to this video hoping to find out the correct way of mounting it once installed. 😅

[@eeiko321]

What’s your thoughts on the aluminium manifolds from ECS or IE as a substitute to these new ones?

[@neildonnelly5754]

Brilliant help, Humble mechanic! I've recently being getting a misfire which appeared on cyclinder 3 (according to diagnostic) so replaced coil packs & put new spark plugs on. Warning has disappeared but the engine feels a bit lumpy at low revs. Thinking the inlet manifold could be the culprit. Cheers HM

[@lilmikkelfast]

I have the same problem with mine with cylinder 3. I have replaced spark plugs, genuine intake manifold and PCV valve but the engine is still very rough and the check engine light is on. Did you ever fix your problem?

[@kd1s]

Oh I love the TSi engines. I've driven about 5 different Golf's with the TSi in model years 2015 through 2017.

[@noodlesatf]

Bumping an old video, but VW *finally* did a recall on this part. We got my wife's 2014 Tiguan fixed early last year. It failed for that stupid arm, and her car ran rough for over a year.

[@your_alter_ego]

Used to have a 2010 Audi A5. I will never buy another Audi/VW cars ever again. That car was in the shop more than 10 times for various problems during my 4 year ownership.

[@waynes.2983]

FixTooth damn...my 04 Toyota has never had a mechanic lay a finger on it...at over 190,000 miles. I do the schedualed maintenance myself. Sometimes taking cars to a mechanic is the reason other problems happen.

[@oppanheimer]

Same here mate, I will steer away from german cars as I have had numerous problems with my low mileage gti. German cars are unreliable, especially considering how much you pay for them. So from an engineering point of view I think they're crap if they keep breaking down and continuously revise their parts which they don't get right in the first place.

[@bendewse4944]

But everybody has different experiences of the same brand... also the chances are there's someone out there with an '04 Toyota' that's had numerous issues as well. I've got a 2001 Golf on 135,000 miles and she runs like clockwork 7 days a week.. that's not to say they're perfect, but I don't think all VAG cars are 'crap'.

[@waynes.2983]

Ben Dewse far fewer owners have had problems with their 04 Toyota than have had problems with their VW. And there are an awful lot of Toyota vehicles out there.

[@pashko90]

i'm having a small fleet of 2gen(2004-2009) prius cars. All of them having more then 250k miles. Still under hood like new(one car start liking oil out of valve cover).

[@guardingheroes]

The car all of a sudden started sputtering as if bad gasoline and not being able to go any faster than 20 30 mph. Oh and let me say right in the middle of a busy large highway with trucks going by me a mile a minute. Then I get a EPC and engine light going on my dash. Rev up to 2 and back down and back up to 2 rpms. So, I put this octane booster Nada. Opened the hood I hear air. I checked the hoses. I sprayed some cleaner and found a spot. As I kept looking and checking for a loose hose, cracked plastic I notice the actuator popped back up as I probed and pulled. So, seems its the intake actuator. That little arm you spoke about on this video. Tomorrow, buying this intake actuator. I am being told VW does not sell it individually. So I have to buy the whole intake -.- Since I am a new owner to a 2015 VW CC 2.0 Turbo Sport what else do I need to know about this car that I should change now before it goes? My car has no warranty. Should I stick to OEM parts? It gets $$$ :( Thank you for the video because it is helped me actually confirm my findings. Not a pro like you or most guys here But I have done a little here and there. Thank you for the video and everyone here for any recommendations or advise. I have subscribed :)

[@netmedic]

If I'm needing to take my intake manifold apart to clean carbon deposits at 80k is it worth the preemptive replacement/upgrade, or let it ride until there's a problem and hope for an extended warranty replacement?

[@Mike-gz4xz]

Great video again Humble Mechanic ,so glad my GtI mk7.5 has all the updates you have shown here ,some of them are visible .

[@Flat4Power4Life]

About god damn time!!! I have a 2010 GTI and have yes replaced my 3rd intake manifold under warranty!! How did this take so freaking long to fix!!!? These have been like this for 7 years now, I'm taking my car to VW asap to have this new one put on before my current one breaks again.

[@adrianborinsky2989]

changing mine (again). 2 years ago when I changed it it was under warranty but not anymore, i bought the parts 400$ total with tax now i'll change it myself

[@MohammadSawalhatheboss]

I took my 2012 gti to the dealership and they changed it under the warranty. 😁👍

[@chriscastiglioni4568]

hey charles I just wanted to mention that there is also a breather that goes with the warranty replacement. it feeds off the manifold solenoid and mounts on top of the cam cage/valve cover.

[@HumbleMechanic]

+Chris Castiglioni is that new? I know we have to add fuel treatment. I didn't know about the breather.

[@chriscastiglioni4568]

HumbleMechanic yeah it is new came out with the manifold. there should be a bulletin about it.

[@MartinElmo]

Back in around 2010 we had the same/similar problem in the Ford shop I used to work at (in Europe) It was on the 1.8 and 2.0 gasoline engines and at first we replaced the flaps and installed stronger bushings untill Ford came with complete manifold to replace the broken ones. One time I had an engine where the rod that hols/flips the flaps was broken and one of the flaps had been "eaten" my the engine. Imagine the damage that caused to the valves!

[@FreeStuffGuy916]

I'm glad I saw this video. I almost ordered the older style. Thankfully, I was able to cancel my order and order from Shopdap before it was too late. Thank you.

[@HumbleMechanic]

NICE!

[@RoccoCaddy]

Thank you for your videos!! It helped me a lot with my personal case! I have a 2009 Scirocco 2.0 TSI and i had the intake sensor error since last year but could only buy the intake last month, i was surprised when i got it and saw the arm was different... But when i connected the vacuum line, i connected it to the new metal one, so i still had an error and the flap was stuck all the way open. It took me a while to get it, but ended up putting the old solenoid that wasn't faulty and i finally got rid of the error... Now i only have the wastegate flap that it's making noise..... -.-"

[@HumbleMechanic]

Oh no on the wastegate noise. That sucks. Will the anti rattle clip fix is?

[@RoccoCaddy]

I already put one anti rattle clip in and the noise went away, but i could still ear it slighlty (i think the clip only mutes a bit the sound of the rattle) So either it dropped at one time, wich i think that it is impossible when i think of the the trouble i had to get it in or the arm of the flap itself it's sideways like in one of your videos and in that case you know how it is.... Here in europe this engine is rare and the Scirocco's even more rare, so i'm happy that i can find all the good info in your channel! Keep up the good work mate! ;)

[@ANDYW031084]

We couldn't do a Adaptation for intake runner because some one installed high flow air filter in to the car and was causing slightly idle to high , so I went to the car I pressed the brake pedal and switch in to the Drive so idle can drop and Adaptation passed ! this was crazy to find out what was wrong took me weeks !!!!!!!!!!

[@chiquicat1]

From what year was the intake updated???

[@keepitmoving5440]

Im interested in knowing how to remove the flaps? Or just cut them out but keeping the motor arm assemble in situ so the sensor works as intended

[@huantexas1]

My 2016 Tiguan R-Line popped the P2015 code just now at 138K miles. First ever code on this most reliable car. I bought the ECS quick fix coupler and will drop it in until I buy a new manifold and have time for the swap. QUESTION: Is it advisable to service injectors when replacing manifold? Great vids. Cheers!

[@aaronberryessa4908]

I just installed this (BH) revision manifold in my 09 GTI. I also had to get a new fuel rail (06J-133-317-AB) because my old fuel rail(06J133317J) wouldn't line up. Bolt holes were about half a hole off. New rail fits perfectly, but I also had to change the brass fitting( old rail had male threads for fuel line, new revision had female). After all that extra headache, I still throw code p2015...☹️

[@HumbleMechanic]

I’ve been hearing that more and more lately about the manifolds not lining up. The p2015, check your vacuum supply to the the diagram.

[@AUDITHISWORLD69]

[@artistthompson2132]

This video was very helpful for my issue with my VW CC. Thank you for sharing 💯

[@davidvasquez9960]

What symptoms does the car do with a bad intake manifold

[@HumbleMechanic]

this one is mostly check engine light related

[@sw96]

Plastic manifolds... on a force-inducted engine... I know it's been engineered and Charles himself said he can't recall ever seeing one split or crack but plastic just doesn't really give me any confidence of having a long service life.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Alexander Klein No matter what kind , it eventually gets hard dry and gets brittle and cracks. Plasticizers and other big worded chemicals outgas from it and that's it. Here's food for thought. The faa says no locking bolts containing nylon or other items like that are allowed from the firewall forward. That's more for fire protection ,but lemme use an Italian accent : itsa notta good

[@jacobdefenbaugh5093]

That is because when nylon gets hot(400F) it will burn, not melt. so not real great at fire suppression

[@pashko90]

Welder+ cnc and good chunk of aluminum. Same deal with water pump housing.

[@abaj006]

Hence the great reliability of modern German cars, ohh wait!

[@mmaviator22]

Yea I could not believe it myself when I heard they switched to plastic. Im still rockin my mk4 gti and absolutely love them. Currently saving for a mk3 jetta and mk2 gti. Hell eventually I plan on getting the rare bus/truck thing they made!

[@MrErikw26]

OK, I'm gonna weigh in against the haters, as a former hater myself, just about every car nowadays is going to have problems, because of all the technology in them, the government forcing emissions and CAFE ratings down manufacturers throats etc. I have a 2008 Ford F-150, the most common pattern failures on that generation (2004-2008) were as follows: cam phase actuators, cam phaser solenoids, timing chains, timing chain tensioners, (interference motor BTW, out time = CRUNCH on the valvetrain) 4wd vacuum solenoids, 4wd actuator hubs, radiators, blend doors/actuators/cam plates, axle seals, carrier bearings on the LWB trucks, instrument panels failing, and if you do them wrong, spark plugs breaking in the heads, and failing fuel pump control modules( mounting aluminum parts on a steel frame, where water and salt can get to it, not the best design, but there's an update with standoffs that screw into the frame, to prevent it from corroding and breaking) my truck is approaching 140k now, I've put a radiator in, 2 sets of plugs and coils (coils are junk, so bad, Ford only charges like $40 at the dealer for new ones) one LF 4wd hub, a blend door, and now it seems my instrument cluster is on the fritz, everything else has been regular maintenance honestly. Forgot the front caliper that locked up, which can happen to ANY vehicle with that kind of time on the clock. I've experienced NONE of the other failures I've mentioned. My point here is this: just because it happens on others, doesn't mean it will happen to YOURS. I started in this industry when MK4 was new, they taught me to hate this brand, but MK6 and now MK7, are making me more willing to give then a fair shake, just my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth. I will say this, VW can't keep relying on the Jetta and the GTI to keep them in business too much longer, especially now that TDI has taken a YUGE hit, German cars used to be synonymous with top quality, as a German myself, I'd like to see that make a comeback. Last, but not least, Charles, thanks for the awesome videos that have inspired me to revive what I thought was a dead-end career, and to try something new, as I'm going to an Audi dealer or two tomorrow, to try and snag my first ever dealership job as a technician.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Dude AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME stuff. Thank you for taking the time to share your insight. I really appreciate that. I agree that VW can't rest on the GTI and Jetta. I am hoping that is what the Atlas will bring. Only time will tell. Also.. YUGE HAHAHAHAH Also, I want to wish you all the best on the tech job hunt. Good luck and do great things :)

[@MrErikw26]

HumbleMechanic much thanks sir, keep up the awesome video. have you done a water pump replacement video on a TSI? That would be good to see, or maybe a video on how to convince your girlfriend you must have a GTI Autobahn edition for 2018?

[@jonathanpeterson1]

Plastic manifold doesn’t inspire confidence. I have a 2008 GTI FSI and a 2008 Jetta 2.5. I actually just had a turbo fail in the GTI😔 and the Jetta is having some wiring issues unfortunately. That said, other than turbo no major fails so far at 100k on both cars. My biggest complaint is the amount of oil VW burns. Other than that I don’t think VW is any less reliable than any other brand. The key is proper care.

[@don-qb4xb]

And by the way its about time VW started doing what they used to do really well. Making solid reliable cars that very rarely broke. Just not the case any more. Built by accountants and sold by marketing men on past reputation.

[@voyfan99]

For those still looking at this, note that if you go from the old revision to this new one, you will also need to replace the fuel rail with a new revision as well as the bolt holes do not line up on the old fuel rail to the new manifold. So if you are replacing this yourself you'll likely be looking around $500-$800 in parts and not just the price of the intake manifold.

[@znismo1]

For anyone looking at this guy's comment, HE IS WRONG! I have an 09 GTI, which is the FIRST model of the TSI engine. I just replaced my intake manifold with this new updated one and it was a straight swap. I can kind of see how he may have thought that the rail did not align but you have to stick the top bolts of the intake manifold on first then it aligns perfectly.

[@rootsmanuva82]

I have a P2187 code (lean at idle, fuel trim +13% at idle, air intake leak etc) on my MK6 GTI. Cleaned MAF, replaced PCV system, checked for leaks and it’s still idling rough with a CE light. Intake manifold is the next part to check. It’s driving me mad trying to nail down what’s causing my issue.

[@TronBons]

I have a 2008.5 TSI Jetta Wolfsburg. Runner flap failed on my car, entire flap stuck inside my head holding a valve open... when we took it apart, was able to save the head but changed manifold.. Worst design ever..

[@andremaury9861]

You are such a godsend Charles!

[@nicke2307]

mercedes benz vehicles had a similar issue with the runner actuator would break. theres a company called all german auto that makes a billett aluminum pivot point for it instead of plastic

[@shimon2476]

nick elias for vw intakes as well?

[@nicke2307]

Not yet unfortunately :/

[@shimon2476]

nick elias OK thanks

[@LynxStarAuto]

nick elias yeah but On VW you can't replace the arm. Less you destroy the intake to take the rod actuator out...

[@morgandelgado4763]

Once again thanks for your videos...I'll be purchasing this from deutsche......as I made a rockie mistake I purchase one from Ebay it didn't came with the sensor I purchase the sensor ending in B" and on the CPU it read close 30% and open at 88%....and of course the check engine its there.

[@ambzzifying]

I am having the same issue I dont think the B at the end of the sensor makes any difference , even in the video the old sensor dont have the B at the end . how did you resolve the problem ?

[@jancasino9817]

Very helpful, Where can you find the oem number on the intake manifold itself as I am trying to buy one that fits my car

[@asapvlone13]

yall should also know that you need a new fuel rail that fits with this upgraded intake manifold. Didnt know until I couldnt fit my original fuel rail with the new upgraded intake manifold. instead of wasting more money on such thing, my dad and i just cut off the clips from the intake manifold and adjusted the original fuel rail so the screws would go in straight.

[@Captivisual]

Awesome video man. My Golf R has p2008 and p2015 codes for intake manifold flaps. Only comes on on cold startup. If I clear it and drive it it won't come back until the cars cooled and restarted. Weird. This was after I did FMIC, every turbo piping upgraded, bov, dp, etc. So I think I need a new manifold now :( haha it never ends

[@Mattmazz77]

What year was this updated? Also what's the difference between the plastic intake and metal and which is better and why?

[@rogeronslow1498]

Plastic shit everywhere these days. Premature failure of plastic parts in every conceivable product is so often the cause of failure these days. Such a shame.

[@HumbleMechanic]

+Roger Onslow yep and with no sign of it changing.

[@salvadormurillo9019]

Question if you replace the sensor you need to coding or just plug and play?

[@fooshman3]

hey heyyyy always love the vids!! with the manifold update will i have to also get a new fuel rail for my 2012 gli 2.0tsi?

[@garyrobson9476]

Hi, just subscribed to your channel. Great video. Gotta question I was hoping you could help with if you don't mind? I just fitted this new manifold on my 2.tsi but it now stutters and chugs at idle 0.8 revs. Any idea what could be causing this? I changed manifold due to the arm fault and a lean air issue

[@ken.wenzel]

Question: Differences in 1.8 and 2.0, the engines seem to be a lot alike, other than the 200 cc difference in displacement; are the problems of the 2.0 inherent in the 1.8? I know the 1.8 has a turbo hooked into the built in exhaust manifold, but are all the other failures pretty much the same between the two engines?

[@Diesel3R]

My 09 Audi A4 quattro (B8) just got the dreaded P2015 code. It has 118800 miles on it. I'm gonna check with my dealer if its part of the recall, but if not I'm definitely going to replace the manifold with the revised version.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Awesome!!! Hope it’s covered for you

[@Diesel3R]

@@HumbleMechanic the dealer told me it was not covered and they said I need a new manifold $1500... 🤣 What they did tell me is that my car has a recall on the water pump and the timing chain. I'm gonna seafoam the manifold and gas tank this weekend.

[@jabarrmohammed1204]

Thank you for explaining I was looking for a Tiguan 2010 runner position sensor which hose where but you said metal side was supposed to be left open is that right

[@hrobertb]

Just sold one of the new intake manifolds to a shop a few miles away. The man insisted I sold him the wrong manifold. I told him it was recently redesigned and should fix most if not all its previous problems. He kept going on about how the metal nipple was going to cause a vacuum leak. I even tried to tell him about this video. He made sure to tell me that he has the "right one" coming! Well, I hope his customer will be as pleased with his choice as he is. What's wrong with this guy?

[@HumbleMechanic]

HAHAH some people man!

[@jwarnes71]

if i am buying a new clutch pack for a 7 speed dsg, how do I check the part numbers to check if it is a revision 2 clutch pack? i need to change my clutch pak soon. its a 2012 passat CDA engine 1.8T petrol

[@AnfecsIan]

Hi there, thanks for the video! I have a question I'm having trouble trying to resolve... Is the vacuum solenoid directly interchangeable for the old intake? I had the old style solenoid with the "PASS" cap and bought a replacement with the new metal nipple; have subsequently installed it. Just wanted to know if this would cause any issues?

[@LipG]

Anfecs Ian hey do you need any sensor or part to complete the remplacement?

[@bbahunter6436]

Thanks for this...going to try warranty first, then buy a new intake if they don't cover it.

[@TurboTonyG]

I wish they updated intake for the Audi BSM (5.2 V10) engine. I just paid four figures for a replacement because of the crappy plastic flap mechanism.

[@djkremer]

Mine threw the code for this issue at 119,283 and I cleared it not knowing that it was so common. Crossing my fingers it happens again before I hit 120k which will be very soon...

[@A.Musa76]

I have a 2018 2.0T TFSI with under 30k miles. My only concern is I hear a tapping noise from around the intake manifold area (Maybe it's coming from inside the manifold). Is this the flap that causing this noise? It does not matter if it's from a cold start or warm engine but only when it's Ideal. No change in RPM or vibration.

[@TheoJZS]

I replaced mine last year, one consideration I wasn't aware of is none of the boost taps that fit in between the manifold and PCV work anymore with the new revision. They pop out or leak under boost now and there are no new aftermarket solutions available. Is there any other way to tap in for my guage?

[@chad631]

When was the release of this new Intake Manifold? Asking due to going through several intakes under warranty. If it falls under the time I had it replaced, I'm going to ask why the updated one was not installed... as I need another right now for a vacuum leak issue and intake runner fault... Thanks

[@jordanleemusic86]

So, I have a 2014 GTI with the 2.0 TSI engine, and at 58000 miles I got the P2015 engine code. I researched and saw that there was maybe some kind of warranty on the intake, but the local VW dealership, or should I say stealership quoted me $1,325 to replace it. No warranties or anything. Plus I had to pay $140 just for a diagnostics tested tell me what I already learned for free at AutoZone. Sucks.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Yikes. We’re you not covered on the warranty? That wouldn’t be the dealerships fault.

[@jordanleemusic86]

They told me no warranty, I know it’s not their fault, but man, it still sucks!

[@justynaw360]

Hi. Could You tell me if it need to also replace sensor and valve with intake mainfold?

[@chiyaolien6779]

I really like how you explain in Intake Manifold. It's great and detailed. And My CC2013 has those codes. P2187 P2015 P119a P0300 P0506 P0507 Do you think it's the Intake Manifold issue for my car?

[@sirernest7]

I have poor idle and then it stalls. I unplug the MAP sesnor and it runs good. Im guessn i need to clean it up

[@rubberskilla2991]

Hey i have a 2013 Jetta GLI, it makes a sqealing, almost rattling pully sound on start up for about 5 seconds. After ive been driving it for a while, if i have it in manual mode it will do the same sound if i slightly rev out first and second gear...any pointers you can think of to look at replacing? Thanks

[@SaltyBob355]

Same. I hear almost a whistling fluttering sound at idle to low acceleration. Anybody find a cause for this?

[@lesfox2010]

Here in Australia the VW Audi group has their fans, but a steadily growing army of discontented customers. Mercedes is beginning to get a very bad name now, in fact, anything European. I have heard tow truck drivers say that if it wasn't for the European cars, their businesses would be rather quiet as a whole. All cars have their problems. The discontent is growing with the dealerships and their abysmal customer service. From denial of the problem to a constant run around in order to avoid the issue (or warranty claim). Mazda, Hyundai and Kia are now getting on top of the game here with great customer service and decent warranties. Prices of European parts are another issue. A genuine VW radiator hose (the one with the little hose out of the side of it) is listed at $1400 and you have to wait for it to be shipped from Germany - about 6 - 12 weeks wait. Mercedes S class engine mount. One lasted 48 000 kms and was just out of warranty. Sorry mate, here's your bill...... $3500. The owner trying to argue a case was dismissed and pushed back and forth between the Mercedes HQ in Oz and the dealer. The guy ended up paying just to get his car back. Pretty inexcusable customer support for a $100K plus vehicle. But is typical. The word is getting out here that the European cars are nothing but trouble and horrendously expensive to fix. A friend of mine did his apprenticeship with VW here and he keeps telling all his friends to keep away from them and anything else European. They may (?) work well in other countries, but their reliability reputation here is quite poor and even worse the dealership customer support is usually highly reprehensible.

[@Hmmm313]

I put new intake in to my Gti but the fault code still back. I tried to clean the code but coming back after 5 miles. What you think what’s the problem???

[@yogsta72]

Hi Charles, Awesome video! I need some help or advice please if you can spare a minute. I have a VW Tiguan with a 2lt TSI. It has been throwing code P2015 intake manifold sensor, so i started to hunt for the manifold upgrade. Found one at ECS Tuning in the states and they will ship to Australia for me however they are saying i need to upgrade the fuel rail as well to use this manifold. what are your thoughts on this? As of today the Tiguan started misfiring and there is a sound like a vacuum leak around the inlet manifold. The OBD codes are P0300, P0303, P0304, P0302 and P0301 in order. Is this all part of the same problem with the inlet manifold do you think? I love your videos and you helped me heaps with the TSI timing belt. Thanks for your time Andrew

[@problemsolving7190]

Charles, had my 2009 TSI manifold replaced last year under warranty. 48K miles now and decided to remove the intake to clean the valves. Have you heard the new design does not have the support (10mm trip and 13mm nut) under the throttle body? Looks like it was never there or the dealer tech didn't feel like putting it back when he replaced the intake? Not sure if I need to source one or just put it back together the way it was...? Got my gasket and injector seals from Deutsche and was told my intake should be the latest revision...?

[@bane_bully512]

I have a question I have a epc light on and check engine light blinking i read the faults and the codes say intake manifold runner cylinder1,2,3 misfire. What is wrong with it can you explain.

[@pasanjerlolo9485]

Thank you thank you for this information we push the

[@bkdezalia]

@HumbleMechanic I had two CEL codes P2008 & P2015, I finally broke down and purchased the whole intake manifold assemby from shopdap. My 2010 A3 2.0L now has it's performance returned, and the P2015 is gone, the P2008 continuously returns immediately after clearing, and has a irregular idle. Any recommendations for troubleshooting? P2008 is such a generic CEL for this car/engine. Thanks in advance for any direction!

[@HumbleMechanic]

You may have to test the solenoid wires

[@bkdezalia]

@@HumbleMechanic do you happen to have any literature, links, or pinouts to reference a test?

[@ggjindrak]

Great vids! I watched the Scirocco VR6 swap videos and got the VW bug again. No pun intended. I recently picked up a really nice '08 Jetta 6spd. Great little car, but I'm getting a surging idle when I come to a stop. It'll rev up to about 2k rpm, then somewhere in between 1-k, then idle smoothly. Pulled the PCV out and it was torn. Easy fix, but the idle surge hasn't subsided. In fact, I'm showing misfires on all 4 cyls. I'm not detecting a vacuum leak, at least I haven't been able to find one using the old propane trick. Any thoughts? Idle control valve? Could it be the manifold?

[@trojangpete8]

How do I get the new intake when mine fails. 2011 CC 2.0t am I out of warranty?

[@MJ-hr4ks]

If the sensor goes bad (P2015 code) can the sensor itself be replaced or does the entire manifold need to be replaced?

[@jwester7009]

I wonder if this issue is the same for an BLG 1.4 TSI engine from 2008? I can clear the P2015 error, but it comes back after a couple of days. I hope it's just the (VW OE-03C 907 386) sensor

[@lukeharris1425]

Hi bud do you know if the inlet manifold sensor needs programming when replaced or is it just plug in and play ?
