Just a UK update. Was a nightmare as the three screws are at the back of the unit and not the front. Loads of bits needed removing to access the unit. Fitting the small part to fix the problem was fairly easy but this also needed modification. Lots of tools needed and glad I did not tackle it. It took an experienced mechanic 2hrs to take out and refit. I erased the fault code and the fault code has finally gone.
Joanna from Cali here and have I got an update for you. Just installed the part I bought from diesel geeks for my 2013 Jetta TDI intake. Been driving for months with the p2015 code and dash Iight on another light came on for the regen filter. I limited my driving to not plug up my filter. Just drove forty miles at 75 mph consistently regen light shut off but p2015 light stayed on. I shut the car off restarted the car no more dash warning lights. Thanks for your video when I lost the spring I freaked out but you truly don’t need it.
Hi guys! It's a gr8 video and ace solution. I've actually installed the bracket without taking anything off from the engine. It took me less than 20 minutes to install it that way. Another word of advice, use a thread lock to prevent it from coming loose.
thanks for posting this video.. I fixed our 2012 Jetta TDI using the unscrew bottom screw method. to get my hand in there, I also disconnected the coolant line that was in the way. Lost 1 T27, thank goodness I had a spare!
Why take the actuator motor out? I installed the part from DieselGeeks in place just by removing the bottom screw and lifting the actuator arm with some safety wire tied on the fuel return pipe. No need to remove the motor and fight with the spring and actuator arm. VW Jetta TDI 2012 with 175,000 miles ... and going strong.
Hi Alex. I have a VW Passat 2010 high line estate. Would the repair be the same and where do I get the part from? I’m based in the uk. Thanks in advance.
Alex thanks for that comment. I just removed the bottom screw and installed the bracket in 5 minutes as well. I appreciate the video of him taking off the motor so I had perspective of what was needed for a finished install. Thanks both of you
Can confirm on a 2009 1.9 tdi. Only need to take the bottom t30 bolt out, lever the actuator arm towards the front of car holding it then fit the part and do up. 100% works. Although there is 2 different ones to pick from. My one was the longer version. I've had the whole unit off twice and spring popped off too. No need to take the unit off. Very easy fix but a little fiddly
This fix is hit and miss, you have to remember what causes the problem to begin with, it's the internal components at the manifold that wear out causing over rotation and throwing the code(s) not the flap motor itself in most cases I've seen, This device is basically using the original worn components and stopping them over rotating but they are worn! cheapest long term and effective fix is to replace the plastic manifold with an aftermarket one, also saves you having to clean the sticky gunk out of your original one.
I changed it now have codes p2008 and p2017, pulled those up b4 starting car, cleared the codes maybe they were from unplugging it but guess ill see tomorow
Did u use the diesel geek piece or the Amazon 1 you provide the link. The Amazon piece is not the same as the diesel geek. Little difference in the groove inside where the bracket should slide
hi, have been getting the p2015 error code, so i tried to remove the V157 and have just noticed that on my passat 2.0 tdi 2010 the 3 screws are the other side of the car (windsheild) instead of (radiator side)so space is really tight, hope that makes sense, thanks
Thanks for helping us. I have little question if possible. I was getting p2015 and installed bracket. It is 2.0 TDI CR with plastic intake manifold. Mechanic needed to take away manifold to install bracket, he disconnected fuel lines from high pressure fuel pump because they were covering intake manifold. Anyway, long story short, no more p2015 but after this engine started to work louder, after few days i noticed he did not tightened fuel line bolt from high pressure fuel pump to rail and the fuel was leaking under high pressure fuel pump, including revving up on idle to compensate for the pressure i guess. I visited mechanic once again and he fixed this by tightening the screw but engine still works louder along the vibrations on idle, no revving on idle anymore. Is it possible that 'ecu/computer' needs to learn new settings while driving, or there is 'air' in fuel lines? is it possible that he damaged hpfp because he did not tightened fuel line from hpfp to rail? or something else? thanks a lot to anyone having time to help me out
Seriously everyone loosing the spring.. have seen other videos showing this being done without taking the motor off (although tbf some of those the motor in a slightly different place) but looking at this video of this engine.. surely easiest solution is to take the air box off in front of it to gain better access.. seems it would then be pretty easy to fit. And I'd much rather dismantle the air box than the motor and loose the spring.. once I get round to checking mine out, I'll try and remember to share my experiences.. but I may come back and say I've lost the spring too haha
Excellent video brother. Iv got a 09 1.9tdi passat with the P2015 code and No1 and No3 heater plugs also. Heater plugs not a prob iv done many but the P2015 was buggin me.......till now! Thanks for that brother, Respect
I've just come across this and my one is in the same location but the screws are on the back and a nightmare to get to. I'm not to sure but I think this is a safety thing. Much bigger diesel engines have have a problem where they can ignite the engine oil and pass through the rings keeping the engine running so as part of the safety the engine will close off the intake manifold when the engine is turned off. This silly module is used to report back to the ECU that the flaps are closed. If it's not reporting any problem codes with the spring missing then I wouldn't worry.
I lost the small spring while placing the piece. I have assembled everything without the spring and it works perfect. There are no more errors, but ... Is there a problem because the spring is not mounted? What's its purpose?
Why Can't the repair bracket be installed without removing the flapper valve motor? Looks like it could slide in from the bottom and then bolt in place. Just curious. Mine should arrive today hopefully so I guess I'll Find out.
@@TestDontguess Had it in place but not perfectly aligned. Had to start the car to move the arm for alignment. At that point went to hell and had to pull the motor off and do it as shown in vids. Only lost 2 torks bits and the spring. Works well however and my mpg is back up to normal.
@@thechud123456 They are really awkwardly positioned, so I had my local garage in the village do it. Thankfully, they didn't charge much at all, but it would have taken me ages to do and left me with skinned knuckles. Since the piece was fitted it ha been absolutely fine and the code reader is clear for that one... just the EGR valve to clean and the glowplugs need changing, but I'll leave those scamps well alone in case they snap.
Hey man thanks for the video I jus installed mine however I only took one bolt out and installed mine and it took the code off... you went thru alot more extra steps

My 2011 Gti has this exact same code but i have no problem driving or startups whatsoever , can it be this ? did this happen to you also just a code with no failures ? i already bought the whole manifold and dont want to waste any more money , thank you
I just bought a 2012 Jetta TDI with 130,000 miles on it. The check engine light came on about 500 miles into my purchase, it’s the P 2015 code. Upon further inspection it looks as though someone has already done this to my vehicle. Would it be worth it for me to try to do this again?
If your car already has that block fitted to the manifold and the code has returned, it will require a new inlet manifold. The initial reason why the valve extends too far is due the internals of the manifold wearing. Fitting the block just keeps the flap in the specified range so the engine ECU doesn't see a deviation. If that 2015 code is back after fitting the block, unfortunately, it means a new manifold. Hope this helps👍
Have you checked your vin for the Volks recall? I know they raised the amount of miles your car can have on it and the intake is covered. If your vehicle has already been repaired under the recall you have 4 years or 55,000 miles from when the work was done. It would be worth checking . Just go to Volks recalls and it will ask for your vin once you enter you will know. Good luck

Your T27/T30 screws go in from the front?? Mine are in from the back, I can't reach them to open them off.
