Yes, got the same letter. Finally, they are covering the 2013 and up mk6's now too in addition to the previously extended warranties for the 2010 - 2012s. Will hopefully get my '13 intake manifold replacement cost reimbursed. Nice.

I just got the P2015 code on Friday. Strangely enough right after I did a stage 1 Cobb tune. I have a 2012 gti with only an ECS intake. Anyone know if a dealer will honor the extended warranty on the intake manifold if I have an air intake installed? Located in the Los Angeles area. If I can’t get it done at the dealer anyone know a good VW auto repair shop in the SoCal area? Thanks in advanced.

Update: I included a YouTube link of what my car sounds like on cold starts only. Does it really sound like a bad intake manifold? Or could it be something else ? P2015 cold start

Id just toss your stock intake on before you go in and remove any boost taps etc because they can be picky about things like that. I did that and had no problems. They didnt even do the full diagnosis basically just the saw p2015 and went right to replacing it.

Received a complete reimbursement today (parts + labor) in the mail from Volkswagen of America for the intake manifold repair of my mk6 at an independent shop. Very satisfied with the outcome and glad I am in another GTI, there's no other car I'd want.

You can try to submit a claim and get reimbursed but I don't think many people have luck with self repair claims. I tried when they did a recall for the ABS module but receipts for parts I bought wasn't enough for them and it was denied. Would probably work if a shop did it.

Wait wtf... when did they do that and which vehicles were included?

VW honored my extended warranty and replaced the manifold even with a stage 1 tune, they called me and said it was flagged in the system as TD1 or something like that for having an ecu tune, but I didn't have any other mods at the time other than the tune and said I bought it used and had no idea it was tuned and they were cool with that explanation and did the work free of charge.

if you have your stock air box just put it back and make everything look stock as possible

My car was tuned with a full intake and no one at the dealer even mentioned it when they did my manifold/water pump. I guess others have had trouble but I've never had to switch stock parts back in to get dealer work done
