Intake manifold flaps

[Nard666]

Hi so i have intake manifold flap problems as seems usual for these cars (i have the bmk engine) the problem is on bank 2 firstly which one is bank 2? Secondly is there anyway to tell if it's the motor or the flaps that are the problem so i can suss out if I should get the flap repair kit or if I would need a refurbished complete unit
Thanks

About £15 for the arm from audi. It will be the one above the turbo. Sorted mine out about a year ago.

So Bank 2 is the one on the right as looking from the front of the car? I've read of people having problems with the flaps and the motor too that's why i was hoping to suss out if mines the motor or not as the arm comes in with the repair kits available to replace the flaps

In mine you could see the play in the arm audi upgraded them at £15 it's worth a go could save you £100s..

Ok thank you, for 15 quid I take it you fitted them on? Did you have to remove the housing to fit them? Is there some kind of clip or do they just push on and pull off?

Just did the one as no other stripping required, 20 minute job. The other bank requires a bit more work. Plenty of guides and how tos both here and the net.
