Which side is Bank 2 3.0 TDI Q7

[kaled00]

Hi guys,

Been searching for an answer to this all over the web.

Audi Q7 3.0 TDI, can someone tell me which side bank 2 of the engine is? assuming I am standing in front of the car looking at the engine.

Thanks in advance

Bank 2 is the left bank. I often have this discussion though, which is left and which is right and I say the left is always the left and the right is always the right, no matter which way you look at it you identify the handing as for sitting in the car looking forward.

I had a issue with the intake manifold runner motor being faulty on bank 2 (P2011), the mechanic checked both bank motors and said its the driver side one (off side).

He has replaced the motor but said the MIL is still on and he needs to get VAS on it to set up the new runner.

Just thinking if he changed the right motor.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I am guessing your car has the BUG or BUN engine and is a 2007.

P2011 (VAG 08209) Intake manifold flap air flow control valve 2, electrical fault-V275-Intake manifold flap 2 motor

Check fuse 7 for a start but as far as I am concerned the right bank is bank 1 and the left is bank 2.

V157 is the flap motor for bank 1 (item 7) which is shown in the workshop manual as being on the right of the engine and V275 (item 12) is shown on the left, this is of course as viewed from sitting in the car looking forward. I can see where he has gone wrong, it is understandable, but if he had the workshop information and his software had said V275 he would not have replaced V157 instead.

thank you crasher!!!!! valuable info.

Can he use the same motor on either side?

Also do you know if it will need VAS set-up?

again thank you for this

They are interchangeable.

I have never changed any of these, we have diagnosed a few as being faulty but sent them to Audi to be done as there is a special tool required to test thema.

I have not had the time to work out if VCDS will do the job and what the software version info is, no doubt if it becomes a big issue I will have to find out.

I have just had this fault code (P2011) on my A6 Allroad 3.0 TDI.

The dealer has informed me today that they need to replace the inlet/intake manifolds.

Luckily, all work is being undertaken on the warranty.

yes best left to dealers.

mine is in there now, going to change the manifold itself

part will take 5 days to come from germany though

that's interesting

Once they diagnosed the problem on Wednesday and got the OK from Audi Warranty. It was replaced on Thursday.

I now have approx. 10 - 20% more fuel economy and the engine is an awful lot quieter.

What was interesting is that they only changed the faulty manifold on the left bank.

If you were paying the bill for someone else’s car would you have fitted both if the other one was not actually faulty yet?
