If you've recently been struck with the dreaded P2015 trouble code for a faulty intake manifold runner flap that plagues so many thousands of Gen1 2.0T TSI engines or want to prevent this from happening, we engineered the perfect solution for this common problem!
THE PROBLEM:
The linkage within the intake manifold runner flap that connects to the vacuum actuated arm can break at it's drive hex, and allows the lever arm to "pop" out of the intake manifold, sometimes creating a massive air leak while becoming disconnected from the drive hex. By simply pushing the lever arm back into the intake manifold, the drive hex reconnects to the linkage and will operate the tumble flaps but it will continue to blow open again once under boost, creating a massive air leak.
THE SOLUTION:
The ECS Tuning Lever Arm Fix Kit effectively clamps the lever arm back into the intake manifold, maintaining the needed amount of contact to keep the lever arm locked into the drive hex and maintaining a positive seal within the intake manifold. The cap also prevents this malfunction by keeping the lever arm from popping off when installed.
The in-house Engineering Team at ECS developed a fix / prevention kit to the common faulty intake manifold runner flap linkage. Previously the only repair was to replace the entire intake manifold, costing hundreds in parts and labor. Save time and money with this easy fix kit.
