Intake Manifold Flap Motor

AMD emailed me back:

"This isn’t the throttle body, it is the intake manifold flap motor which controls the flaps inside the inlet manifold."

MJ, thoughts?

I dare say some are vacuum operated and some have a motor with a connecting rod. If it's failed and they are sure then stick with their diagnosis mate.

 

[Joshkcupra]

Just wondering whether this is an easy change I can do myself

 

[James_R]

I'm sure they just have a rod, couple of bolts and a plug. Can't be that hard if they've only quoted an hours worth of labour.

For the cost of repairing it I might aswell get the APR runner flap delete and the free map upgrade and get shot of this problem in it's entirety?

 

[James_R]

Sounds good to me!

 

[Joshkcupra]

Quoted £516.03 for the supply, install, and remap.. Rather price I have to say!

I wouldnt bother, been proven not to be a hinderance at your level of power (unless its faulty!) and with proper mapping it can bring the torque in earlier and reduce surge

Variable Intake Manifold Adjusting Unit
---
Volkswagen and Audi models have a tendency to give drivers a P2004 or P2015 error, which is a “Flapper Sensor Failure” code.
If this error appears, chances are it's the Variable Intake Manifold Adjusting Unit. Volkswagen models have a Variable Intake Manifold that is simply brilliant. The variable intake manifold features a flap system governed by the engine control unit that meets both of those demands, channeling the air via the long intake manifold at low revs and through the short section at high revs. Direct from Volkswagen / Audi, this new adjusting unit will have your car performing like new again. A basic setting should be performed after replacement by using a scan tool.

Got mine from eBAY... it was a tight squeeze... with a T30 ultra mini rachet...

 

[Joshkcupra]

Any sort of guide to fitting it at all mate?

No guide mate, we just looked at the replacement and replaced it there and then (it was awhile ago now...) not a lot space! you don't need to remove the intake manifold... it's just bloody tight getting the damn motor in!

 

[Joshkcupra]

I'm struggling to locate it, I'm assuming it's on the underside of the manifold?

 

[cheungy]

it's behind the High pressure fuel pump...I had to rip crap out to get to it and to create spaces for my hands! can be done though but again it's been awhile

 

[Joshkcupra]

If I take off the air filter it should give me nice access to it surely?
