Certain Volkswagen and Audi vehicles are fitted with an intake manifold runner system that's prone to failure. A vacuum diaphragm opens the runner flaps by way of a plastic linkage that connects the flap arm to the diaphragm. The linkage often breaks due to thermal damage, carbon obstruction in the path of the runner flaps and the strong spring which normally holds the flaps in the closed position. The result is often rough running and a P2015 DTC. This OE FIX manifold is designed to replace the original unit, but features a linkage made of durable cast aluminum for years of long service. To reduce unnecessary expense, the IMRC sensor is not included - the factory sensor can almost always be reused. Gaskets for both the upstream and downstream ends of the manifold are included for a complete repair.

Product Features:

• Stronger design - this Dorman OE FIX manifold features a durable cast aluminum arm to eliminate rough running and P2015 codes on specified Volkswagen and Audi vehicles
• Smarter solution - this intake manifold contains the gaskets and upgraded parts for a complete and long-lasting repair, but allows reuse of OEM components known for their durability
• Reliable construction - tested to help ensure identical performance and durability to the OEM unit
• Trustworthy design - built by the industry leader in aftermarket manifolds
