Gergwheel1647545492 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have a friend that has a Passat with a 4cylinder gas engine and her CEL just came on for this. Read the code and its a P2015 - intake manifold flapper motor position sensor. Never heard of this before. Any thoughts on fixes? I cleared the code and then a week later it came back on.

STEVE-O Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have a friend that has a Passat with a 4cylinder gas engine and her CEL just came on for this. Read the code and its a P2015 - intake manifold flapper motor position sensor. Never heard of this before. Any thoughts on fixes? I cleared the code and then a week later it came back on. inside the intake there are plastic flaps that break. No real way to fix it just has to be replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I noticed online that some of the warranty's were extended so i had her call the dealership and sure enough the warranty was extended for her. So it should be covered. Thanks for the input Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why i was asking for input on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Wtf, intake flappers? Are these in the book next to turn signal fluid? Must google. It's to change the runner length and create torque down low and better power up top. It's been an issue recently on a few VW and Porsche products.

Mr. Jones Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 It's to change the runner length and create torque down low and better power up top. It's been an issue recently on a few VW and Porsche products. The flaps, at least in the VW application, don't really to much in the way of changing runner length. They reside at the end of the intake manifold, facing the cylinder head intake ports. Their primary function is to optimize cold start and idle mixture (increased swirl effect/turbulence) for economy & emissions. They have been proven to affect power at the high end, and kits are available to delete them now. On Audi/VW V8 applications they have multi-stage intake manifolds which do alter the intake length, allowing for longer or shorter runners as desired.
