Even though I don't own a VW, I still watch all your videos and I find them fascinating. Really quality information, and I think a lot of things can carry over to other makes. Just wish you worked at a nissan dealership! :)
Just as I was thinking "would be nice to see a DIY removal video" I hear you say there's a link in the description! Guess where I'm going now!? Great series, looking forward to next week's video.

Mr Humble: I cannot thank you enough for your video. I have had three manifolds on my Volkswagen CC, and the third has failed. I have to drive for my job-I need my car!!, I have no time due to my two small kids, and I have other car expenses due to being hit by an uninsured driver. I loather the prospect of paying out for a new manifold. I just snapped back in the little are you described and my car is running great!!! No fast slow idle, but now a smooth idle. I cant thank you enough!!!
FYI... the solenoid and the arm are parts you can buy individually at places like Rock Auto so the intake manifold can be repaired at a lower cost now.

Thanks for the great info. The car was flagging the 2015 and 2187 codes. After watching this video I found the input shaft had backed out. I put a little pressure on it and moved the vacuum shaft and it popped right back in. Now it has a very smooth idle.

TY so much for posting this video. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out a misfire on Cyl 4. I replaced the usual suspects, ignition coil and spark plug, with no effect. After watching your video I checked and discovered the arm had popped out. Popping it back in fixed the misfire. I guess I will be replacing the entire manifold with the new version eventually, but for now I'm back on the road.😃
Failed part. Both my fuel pump 1800.00 and my water pump 3000.00 failed 15,000 miles apart. Intake fail was what I put in shop for. Mechanic said just a vacuum hose was off, but my water pump was leaking, needs r&r. $3000. later I pick up, drive 10 miles and engine light comes on. Return to shop, they are putting on new intake today. Then I looked you up! Thank you, Man! A real answer in about 3 minutes.
Great to see these videos, great to know what is going on within the car, and why. Thank you so much, I can diagnose issues and save money so it can go to buying diapers and save some money, unfortunately I do not have so much money I can bring the shop in to fix all the time. appreciated!!!
My intake didn't fail but when it came time to do another valve cleaning I decided to change it since the car now has 160K miles. The actuator and flapper were all nice and tight. Boy were those valves and injectors gunked up ugly. I'm not surprised it was running so poorly after seeing that. Thanks for the video..
Thank you for the information! I have an '09 Passat 2.0T TSI, it has 121k miles so of course it is 1k miles over the extended warranty that VW issued out for the intake manifold.
You have come a long way I'm proud of you bro
I remember hooking up the scanner and getting a code for the intake flap, thankfully it had a test plan and life is easier :D
Me epc and check engine light turned on and the rpms would rise so I having a drive ability issue at a stoplight..this video prevented me form buying an intake manifold and found out the part that’s attached to the actuator was loose thank you so much for this video you just gained a sub

I really like all your videos. Thank you so much for putting them together. This one saved me a bunch of time and money as the little flap rotator thingy was popped out on mine making the car nearly undriveable. Brought to a VW mechanic and $400 dollars later nothing changed. I've managed to pop it back in but when I put my thumb over the end it's still pulling a small vacuum on my thumb. I'm guessing this isn't normal and the manifold should be replaced?
You should do the cam follower for 2.0TFSI engines. :)
Thanks for this video. Think I have this issue with my 2011 Tiguan. Was able to reset the light, so will drive and see if the problem occurs again.
These videos are excellent! Really informative and its great to hear all of the details from a technician. Is there any particular reason why these intake manifolds are made out of plastic? I would feel that it's better to make it out of aluminium?

This was great. Hooked me up big time (the knowledge I picked up ahead of going to my dealer with a P2015 issue). My GTI '13 was NOT covered by VW America's extended warranty on this part that I read about but a combination of VW losing well deserved momentum due to Dieselgate and my handling of the service department lead to my 71k GTI getting a new Intake Manifold job at $0; I just offered to pay for the media blasting/cleaning of the intake port which I was quite happy to pay for. My GTI is running nicely now and while I'm somewhat frightened at what the next failure will be (having come from a JSW HP Fuel pump problem), I love VWs and am grateful to The Humble Mechanic for all that he puts in here.

Great video sir. Greetings from Cyprus 🇨🇾 I’m an owner of a VW golf GTI 2.0 2011. Great car but that engine is full of problems. I’m tired of it.
Humble Mechanic, thank you for sharing your expertise... I viewed you video on removing the manifold. What experience with my CC one day was I started my car and it stalled which never happened, with a flashing CE light. Then I stayed it again and it had a rough idle, drove successfully with no light. Started in the morning with a CE light... throwing all codes 2015 and misfires, etc. checked out your video on replacing the manifold. CE Light is still one. No rough idle, smooth ride, maybe slight less power but nothing significant... do I need to erase CE? Thank you sir.
Thank you for your videos! Helped me a lot.
Great way to describe. I was thinking about getting it checked out because I just got the code on OBD but I figure that’s waste of time because I will need a new one regardless
Charles - many thanks for your expertise, by the way
A million thanks from Miami!!!
thanks for the video. I found it while troubleshooting P2014 fault on my 2015 Audi A3 (8V) (manifold runner position sensor). Car is running fine, but I would guess I need to get new manifold to clear this fault, although I may try to replace the sensor first.
Hi, and sorry for the delay. I did a little research and the manifold was covered by a factory part warrant, and the repair cost me nothing. The dealer even gave me a loaner for the day they had my car. Thanks Findley VW Las Vegas.
I'm getting a 2013 gti and are hoping for the best. I want to know what you think about extended warranties for repairs from an insurance company. Idk if you would be the one to ask but I figured it wouldn't hurt.

When fitting a new manifold is it plug and play or is there any adaption required. Great videos.
If manufacturers would stop using plastic for shit that shouldn't be plastic it would stop a lot of problems that exist. Manifolds and water pumps and coolant pipes shouldn't be plastic.

Hi, I found many of your videos very helpful. I had a bad/stretched timing chain in my 2009 tiguan at 118,000 miles. I removed the head had a machine shop replace my valves, replaced cam chain, tensioner, guides, all new gaskets, new injector seals. I had the manifold replace from dealer a few years ago. But the hardest part of this job was trying to put the bracket on for the manifold. I saw an aftermarket high performance manifold that actually does not use the bracket. The car runs better than ever, but I did not install the bracket. With the 9 bolts and in throttle body intake hose holding the manifold in place it does not seem like it is needed. What is your thoughts?
I think you mentioned this subject today live at Milwaukee tools.

how about intake valve cleaning on 2.0T FSI engines?
Hello! Thanks for the video. My 2010 Passat, check engine light was on. Will the intake manifold effect my speed and performance on my car? Thanks again. JM
Hi Charles! Thank you for the very informative and detailed video. 2012 vw Tiguan 2.0 TSI has check engine light. The first item you went over on you video has failed on my Tiguan, I can hear the huge air leak and as you mention their is a lot of outward movement where it attaches to the runners........Can I get away with just replacing the arm that attaches to the runners/manifold? Thanks in Advance!
Thank you for this video! It helped show me exactly where the issue was with the manifold on my GTI. Have you seen the piece that connects the motor to the valve actually break off? The arm that comes off the motor is floating by itself in front of the whole in my intake.

So I watch your channel to find out what to look for and what I'm getting into if I decide to keep this car... I need to check to see what kind of timing chain tensioner I have.. I have no service history on the car so I'm looking for things to possibly replace now... Lol
Thank you for the insight!
I just did this manifold on a 2009 Audi A4 due to the arm pooping out . Good idea to sell a valve carbon cleaning while doing the intake manifold . I get 2 more hours to do the valves .
My manifold failed on me 5 days ago, we saw the check engine light and got the P2015 code at 65000+ miles. Took the car to dealer and the manifold was cover by the extended warranty. Thanks for the heads up on that. We had the work done that you suggested and it cost us $525.00. Idk if they pulled a fast one on us, but they said if we did not change the spark plugs the car may start to back fire. so we changed them too.

I had a very rare 6 series V-12 BMW, pre OBDII,pre check engine light that failed emissions (high HC),we sold the car, I did the used car check out. Part of the check out did not involve checking if it would pass emissions. By 2002 our Dealership did not posses a 2 or 3 gas analyzer (no analyzer of any type) and no "Sun machine" type device to check primary and secondary ignition performance.The car had heated cats. I worked off two known issues (intake manifold leaks) and secondary ignition wires failing. Just disconnecting a secondary wire at the spark plug will damage the wire,our cost for wires was 300.00 per side,(two sides). Customer pay on intake reseal was 5.0 hrs, with plenty of old fuel line to replace. I did the wires and the intake reseal and it still failed. I said "any further work by me will be paid straight time" I rolled my box out that day and right into a GM Dealer that same day. I made the most money I ever made at that Dealer but all good things must come to an end.
On my 2012 VW GTI the arm that controls the flaps open and closed snapped in half cause the carbon build up was so horrendous and the motor was trying so hard it snap it and then snapped the flaps closed. fun stuff.

Has the 2019 GTI 2.0 intake manifold been upgraded by VW? I bought a new 2019 GTI Rabbit, 6 speed manual. Black. Only driven 900 km to date. Any concerns with this car? I will not be modifying the car in any way. I've store the car during the winter ( plenty of dry storage buildings at my farm ). My Dodge Durango 4x4 takes me through the winter here in The Great White North. As an interesting side note, the 7.5 GTI is proving popular amongst my fellow police officer colleagues, both active duty & retired. Excellent channel. Intelligent, concise, helpful, & without loud annoying music. Well done.

Yep it’s a very different intake on yours. So far the 2019 has been solid. A few problems I’m sure but nothing crazy. :)
@HumbleMechanic I have had the P2015 Code on for over 6 months now and didn't think much of it as I didn't any drive-ability issues with the car...... until it started getting cold out side (Below 45). For the first few minutes of driving the car will misfire and run rough. Once the engine gets up to optimal running temperature the hesitation goes away. Is that Intake Manifold Sensor Related or could that be the intake runner flaps being stuck by all the carbon deposits (my car has over 93,000 miles and I have yet to do a cleaning). I guess my real question is, could the intake flaps sticking cause a P2015 Code or am I short out of luck and I need to purchase a manifold. I'll be doing the carbon cleaning soon so it would make sense to replace the manifold while its off. Thanks again for the informative video.
I just went through this on my 2015 A5 last week. However, mine is a flex-fuel car so the intake manifold is aluminum. With that the vacuum valve, lever, etc. bolt onto the manifold separately. I had a shop complete the repair (I was unable to find the right part), only $960 later :/ But it is all good now.
Hello, I was happy to see that a video exist to explain the dreadful error code P2015 "Potentiometre clapet tubulure admission - Signal incoherent" in French. I have a Passat CC 2008 engine BZB 1,8 TSI. Although the warning lamp lit every day, the car is still working normally. I will go the VW rep here in Genva to ask for free replacmeeent (I'am dreaming. here is Switzerland nothing is replaced for free . I had to replace the Clutch kit of my DSG 7 at 42'000 km. Too much vibrations between 1st and 2nd gear) . But that's another story. Maybe it's the last time a will drive a VW. I'll have to find a car not made of plastic, lol
If that swirl flap motor arm snaps, or the part pops out, is it guaranteed to pop an error or EML? Would it bring P2015 on a Skoda 2TSI?
Very helpful thanks 👍👍
Had to replace this over the weekend on my gti. Let me tell you, that bigass metal bracket running through the middle made me question my life choices.
Hi, and thanks for all you do for others. I also have a 2010 cc with the arm popping out. I ran a tension spring from the actuator arm to a bolt sticking out from the engine. it's under every thing and it was a pain to put in. but since I have done this the arm has not popped out again. chec engine lite is still on, but it is drive able till I can replace the manifold. I will try and take a few pics or post a short vid if any needs it.

Charles, new subscriber here(#1400 yay!) after seeing the collab with EE! i have some ideas for failed part videos: 1) 2.0 TDI BKD ASV failure (insanely expensive part) -in fact it's not only BKD, it fails all over the place- which shares fuse with radiator fan thus you end up overheating 2) porous head with microscopic cracks on early BKD which leaks coolant to the cylinder 3) 1.9 TDI US-spec (can't recall engine code) that has poor lube design for camshaft causing extreme wear 4) DMF failures on every DSG-equipped engine (had to change mine, rattled TOO much, another stupidly expensive part).

Great video. So I have a stage 1 tuned 2.0Tsi and I've been having the following problems: 1) Cold start - until the cycle has finished (choke off) if I briefly press the gas, the engine will rev up by itself. 2) I have an intermittent problem where the boost comes in very linear on partial throttle - almost like vtec! 3) Sometimes with a steady right foot, and particularly when going up a hill I can feel the throttle pulsing and hear the DV dumping air.Only bolt-on modification is an air intake, car has been tuned to 269 bhp.Anything you can do to help me diagnose this will be massively appreciated.

Charles, my carfax shows my intake manifold was replaced by the last owner. Where can I find a part number on the part to know if it's the latest one?
I am new to VW and have a CC with this engine that is having an issue with what you mentioned. On the arm that “ pops in and out” on the side goes into the flaps of the manifold, it is pulling a pretty large vacuum that i can feel with my finger. I can not push it in and out, into the manifold but the car stays high RPM at idle until i push the arm into the canister. Does this sound like an issue that i should replace the entire manifold with? I know you mentioned it’s difficult to repair parts on it, just looking for input, thanks!
Flip! I just came back from vw, my vw cc 2.0 2012 has this exact problem, that exact part pops out, they said they will order it. I hope its under extended warranty.

Can/should you clean out the intake manifold while its out for valve carbon deposit cleaning? In my mind i think it would be a great idea to brake clean all of the oil residue out of it to help keep the valves clean that much longer? I plan to do it with my Audi A4 2.0l turbo soon

I get why one would not want to test each individual Manifold part ( Control arm @ runners, Solenoid,sensor,etc....) but it would it stand to reason that after replacing alot of manifolds that you would have those same spare parts after replacing alot of them and keeping those parts that are not at fault ? would it not save the labor of pulling off the whole manifold and just replacing with a used /new part ?

Possibly. But there is no way to warranty that. That is one thing about dealership repairs. They need to be able to warranty the work at any VW dealer. If I put a used part on, there is little way to tell the part will last.
Would you recommend changing the fuel injector seals when replacing the intake manifold. I'm finally going to have the manifold changed (sick of looking at the CEL) and will have my mechanic do carbon cleaning aswell (as you suggested/recommended)

But in my quote from the mechanic he has included injector cleaning but he has not mentioned seals.. Does that mean he will change them? Or will I need to specify?

+adysh ramzi I would hope he knew to replace them.
I just received a letter from VW for our 2017 Tiguan extending the warranty on the intake manifold to 10 years or 193,000km
i just got the p2015 code at 30k. im TSI but its the same concept :/ thanks for helping me understand :)
Does the intake manifold runner position sensor need to be adapted to the ECM if you are replacing the intake manifold.

Brandon Miller Not really, there is an adaptation, but I have seen repairs made and no adaptation done.
