I kind of thought you might be kidding (of course after my reply). Sorry I came across taking it too seriously, a problem I have to work on. Found them on TireRack for around $600 for four on closeout. It was either this color or black at the time.

So turns out i'm an idiot and those arent the bolts that need to come out, it's the black ones next to them. Good to know and i'm hoping I never have to take those out because that won't be frun

Disconnected soundaktor. It was so quick and easy, I wish I had done it a long time ago. I think it sounds much better now. Being between the engine bay and the cabin, it was masking most of the car's natural intake noise. I like intake noise, so I like that now I hear more of the "whishhh" instead of the "wahhhhh". I also love that now there's less cruising drone, since that would actually bother my ears on longer drives.

Finally got my 40k DSG service done on Saturday. I went with Motul. Will see how it performs over the next 40k lol.

Dumb P2015 popped up for me today. And this is after the IM was replaced under warranty by the dealer, two weeks ago. So, I suppose luckily it's the same code and I likely won't pay a dime.
But it's pretty inconvenient - they can't get me in until next Monday and I was planning on driving home for Thanksgiving this week.

Anyone have any luck with the ECS manifold fix/preventative cap? I angrily ordered it today, so I'll be installing once the manifold is either fixed or replaced.

P2015 Intake Manifold Not Under Warranty

Well got the P2015 and my intake manifold is not covered under and "extended warranty" what it was is a "service campaign" covered under select VINs. Which mine is not part of. I'm having my mechanic take care of it and a carbon cleaning and keeping the receipt in hopes of a future where VW says oh our bad and reimburses me like the water pump.

I took the car into the stealership hoping it was under warranty but since it wasn't had to pay a $134 "diagnostic fee" and wait 2.5 hours for them to look up my VIN. I did get a "complimentary" car wash though so that's something. They quoted me $1300 for intake replacement and carbon clean.

Really why would anyone go to the dealership? I really wish I had a dealership like the Pasadena CA one people rave about. My indie guy though is charging me $875 for intake manifold swap and carbon cleaning and is taking pictures for me to share with you fine folks.

Even with my manifold under warranty I didn't take it to the dealership. You want to charge me $500 for a carbon cleaning while you're already doing the manifold and you can't even guarantee that the manifold will be replaced under warranty? You can fuck right off and I'll be visiting my regular mechanic.

Submit it to VWOA. They might cover the cost of the part. Mileage?
