004120 - Intake Manifold Runner - need TPI 2016504

[TheMatador]

Hi, does anybody have a copy of "TPI 2016504". I have the error code above and the Ross-tech wiki says that for the A6 (4F = C6) refer to TPI 2016504.

Thanks

Hi,

I have seen other posts saying this can be found on Erwin Online. From what I have read, you can register, then pay €4.00 for an hour's access. This post seems to confirm this, although I have no personal experience.

Thanks, I'll take a look

Bump - this also applies to the Bank 1 manifold error which is 012597.

Attached file with the technical details on intake manifold runner swirl flaps.

Check the linkage between the flap motor & the flap, they wear out!! The ball joints usually have loads of play in them, even seen the linkages fall off!!

That's what the TPI relates to.

Thanks - had a look last night and sprayed them with WD40. Seemed rock solid. They rotate on the ball but no play. Car is running sweetly and engine management light has gone out and stayed out for the last couple of days.

Hope it was just a minor hiccup because the cost of replacing such a minor part is ridiculous. Wipes out any efficiency savings from having swirl flaps in the first place!

Tried this - waste of time unfortunately. Can't search for specific TPI's and what you can try and view is so DRM protected that you spend most of your hour seaching the net for the right software to open .spdf's

Thanks for the update. Sorry this turned out to be a waste of time and money.

Its ok - you gotta try these things. I appreciate the help -your suggestion was the only one.
I'm more frustrated that I'm back to square one.- can't believe its so hard to get a copy of a TPI that Ross-Tech reference on their website...

This might help in your search
I know its an american site but you can search through TSB's.
