Good luck getting VWoA to help you out. Had my waterpump go out at 41-42K and wasn't part of the extended warranty. Made an appeal and they didn't seem to care. Baffles be how the same problems arise across the different years, yet only some are covered. Hope it works out though.

Not all years.i believe most 13+ gen 1 tsi models are excluded even though they may suffer from the same issues



That’s super lame. At least they have the updated tensioner. Give and take I guess. Rather have to pay for intake manifold over the tensioner.

You're mostly paying for labor. The revised own intake manifold is like $170. The Humble Mechanic has a great diy vid on YouTube.

If u have a shop do it make sure to get a carbon clean.

Im thinking for that amount ill just go after market IE intake manifold...

Stay away from those things..........more headaches than it's worth.

Retuning due to loss of power in low end....

Power coming on 500 to 1000 RPM's later than what it is now......

Heat Sink. Metal get's hot, and holds heat, increasing IAT's, basically defeating whatever the IC did.

If you're building a race car and plan on using meth, when that's another story.

UPDATE: Check engine light came back on today. I don’t have the money to fix it just yet.. Is there any harm to the engine if I continue driving it? I know I’ll have less power and worse MPG... But is it dangerous to continue driving?

The car has 50k miles. I work/live in the Broward and palm beach area

Ok, I'll let you know if my friend wants the job... he's excellent with these cars though and works on them all the time. About 2 hours from you if you're interested just shoot me a PM.

Congrats, I assume you didn't buy it from a VW stealership?
