Info for CA owners trying to pass a SMOG check: On the Code that was still left after clearing. Notice one thing, when he first went into it the scanner it said it was a "Current" code. Once he cleared it and went back in and it was still there it said it was a "Permanent" code. A Permanent DTC is a misleading statement. It would actually better be called a "History" code. A Permanent DTC does not matter for most people because as you saw in the video the check engine light went off so that's a good fix in most peoples books. On 2010 and newer vehicles there is no way to clear a Permanent DTC except by completing the drive cycle for that system up to 40 times. But like I said for most people the check engine light being off is the main thing. Where people might get confused is when they have a permanent code and they go for a smog check in CA and fail because of it. Even though you cannot clear a permanent code CA allows a passing smog with a Permanent DTC as long as you have driven it 200 miles and have had 15 warm up cycles since you cleared the code. Once you do the 200/15 the code will still be there the SMOG machine will it ignore it at that point. So if it says "permanent" stop trying to clear / erase the code and just drive it the 200/15 you need. If you clear the codes again you sort of reset the clock on the monitors and the 200/15 count.

Great Info - Did not realize resetting Error Codes will also reset the computer monitors ... therefore, needing to redo the 200/15 cycle. Thank you for the info !!!

Hello. I have a 2016 Tiguan and I get the p2015 code. The guy a bought the car from sent me this video. I’m trying to get him to fix cuz I paid a lot of money for this used car and the light came on after I bout the car. I showed this to someone that knows about fixing Hondas and Toyota. He took a look at my car and said this video is not for my Tiguan, it’s not diesel. Can you please advise?

The product link provided by Auto Anatomy is clearly shown for the aluminum manifold. If yours doesn't work, then it might be plastic.
