P2015
I know I'm being up an old thread but the first time I had P2015 pop up I'd just got my 2011 GTi and was doing the 40k service on it at 41k miles, when picking up my MK6 the engine light was on and it was the intake manifold. I walked back in and found out the issue and it was all to be covered under warranty with the promise of the newer parts installed so it wouldn't happen again. I had the flush the carbon out then too cause it was advised and after reading the forums I realized it would have to be done at some point and I'd save money doing it at the same time.
Right after that I went and got a custom exhaust put in, gave it a tune up with R8 coil packs installed and went stage 1 APR tune, I f*ck*ng love the tune, I mean it fixed my issues with the clutch that didn't really feel like a clutch before and gave it the torque that it should have come stock with. Being in Cali I want to go stage 2 but don't wanna switch things back to pass smog every other year.
But now less than 9k miles later, just before I reached 50k miles, I mean I'm at 49950 as of today, I got the damn code again. First dealership wanted me to pay to just do a diagnostic and I was like WTF and left. 2nd dealership, the one that did the original intake manifold swap took it and said they've never had to do this work twice and said it would be ready tonight. They never mentioned my tune but I was wondering, do you think the tune was putting to much pressure on the intake manifold? I figure not because it was cleaned out and I mean these manifolds can't be that weak, can they?
It says it's covered they 120k and my 2011 only has 50k but at one point I have to believe that there has to be better parts to instal if it happens again. Frustrated yes but I feel lucky they didn't bring up the tune lol :happyanim::happyanim::happyanim:

Based on the information on this forum, I felt confident the dealer would replace the intake manifold under warranty. I removed my catch-can set up and boost gauge line to avoid any grumbling from the dealer and dropped it off yesterday. I left the Neuspeed air intake on though. They were cool about the whole situation and notified me that it would be covered under warranty. They suggested to have the carbon cleaning done while the manifold was removed. I expected and agreed to paid for this. Also had the new water-pump installed per the recall notice based on my VIN. Picked it up today and all is good :thumbup: I'll try to reinstall my catch-can and boost gauge line tonight.
