The Problem
P2015 error caused by over rotation of the actuator motor on the intake manifold.
If your vehicle has a P2015 error it is very likely the main dealer will look to fix this issue with a complete new intake manifold which can cost £700+.
The fault however usually lies with the actuator motor on the intake manifold. There is a small plastic limiting stop on the butterfly assembly within the manifold which this motor operates. This is delicate and inevitably wears and causes the actuator motor (V157) to over rotate triggering the P2015 error or associated symptoms.
Our repair bracket can be installed very easily providing a solid limit for the actuator motor- curing this fault for the life of the vehicle. There is no need to replace the complete manifold / actuator motor which would only fail again.
Symptoms of the fault
P2015, Implausible Signal - MIL ON, VAG 8213, P2002, P2009, P2015, P2017. Engine management light lit or limp mode. Intermittent or constant CEL (check engine light) DTC 2968, 18447, 008213, Intake manifold flap position sensor fault.

Our solution
Fit our unique design bracket and cure this over rotation with a hard stop curing this fault for the life of the vehicle.
Our bracket can be fitted very simply usually in under 15 minutes with basic tools. It simply attaches to the manifold actuator motor and stops the over rotation which causes the fault. Many of our customers have purchased as a preventative measure before the motor fails.
Our part limits the motor to the same range as when it was new. Avoid the cost of a complete new manifold and actuator motor this would only fail again and necessitates the removal of the fuel lines which can cause other issues.
No software (VCDS/ VAG COM) is needed for this repair, check out our instructions and videos, after the bracket is fitted the error will clear on its own.
Our bracket is unique in design, CNC machined from billet aluminium polished then anodised. Our bracket utilises stainless steel fasteners providing the best solution to this common fault.
We also include a replacement spring for the actuator motor as this can often be lost or damage when fitting the bracket. Fit our bracket quickly and simply and cure this common fault.
You will receive
1X CNC machined billet anodised aluminium bracket
1X Stainless steel actuator motor spring.
