Audi V6 TDi 2.7 & 3.0 Inlet Manifold, Swirl Flap Repair Kit.

[islammm]

Hi All,

Looking for some advice please!

I recently purchased a 2008 Touareg 3.0 TDI (UK spec), 52k, FSH and very clean. I drove it approx 30miles before purchase, no lights, no issues.
Yesterday after being parked up for almost a week I turned it on and the Engine managent light appeared on the dashboard. I got a mate to scan it and I got the following error codes

004120 - Intake Manifold Runner (Bank 1): Lower limit not reached
P1018 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded

Read this long thread, some say only change the arms and some say the whole kit. How much would it be to change the whole kit? I have an appointment with VW next Tuesday to get their say in it, although I have mentioned over the phone the error issue and the fact that its quite common!

Any mechanics here living near High Wycombe who would like to earn a few bobs on a weekend?!

Please do let me know. Cheers.

I went for the full replacement refurbished kit for piece of mind.


SRT88 is a sponsored dealer here for AirShox EU, you can send him a PM with any of your questions and get a quote. I got mine from him, great service and guy.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I have a couple of more questions;

1. Would/do VW swap the parts out if I supplied them what was required?
2. Where did you get yours done?

I don't think an authorised dealer will have this work done but you can always ask.
I had mine done by my local indie mechanic, takes about an hour maybe a little more.
