2.0tfsi Intake manifold removal guide

Hi I wonder if you can help with error code P2015 on a 2008 1.8T? From a search this points to the intake manifold flap. I have taken it in and have been quoted £500 which seems a bit steep. Apparently it's the throttle body that needs replacing. Is this the same thing? Could you provide me with the part number?
Many thanks
Hi mate - I am suffering the same issue. Its the Inlet Manifold that you need to replace. NOT the throttle body. The part itself was revised after 2008 hence why the newer ones don't suffer the same issue. A new intake manifold from Audi is around £300.
I got stung by a 'VAG Specialist' who replaced the throttle body and it made no difference. I can stil drive the car however it has an intermittant hesitation on acceleration under heavy load. Makes little difference on day to day driving. Does show the P2015 when scanned though.
If you are local to Merseyside PM me I know somebody that may be able to help

Problem you have is its not unusual for a runner flap fault or throttle body alignment fault to spring up from nowhere, how you go about fixing it on the other hand is down to the mechanics experience. I'm not familiar with the 1.8tfsi but on the 2.0tfsi these faults can be solved by a simple throttle body alignment, or just a general clean up of said throttle body.
These engines breath a lot of oil and sometimes over come the sensors and the Tb its self.
A general clean up and re adaption via VCDS usually solves 90% of these problems.
Craig - You seem to have a real understanding of the area I have started getting some issues on - as I've mentioned here

Reading what you say then a good start is the throttle body - any other advice gratefully received.

Hi Craig - Do you mean a clean up of the manifold and re-alignment? My throttle body was replaced however its still showing the fault. To be honest it doesn't affect day to day driving, just has a little hesitation every now and then.
Do you think a forced induction terraclean would help?
If it's still showing a fault it maybe down to the runner flap motor, seens you have replaced the throttle body already.
A terra clean will always help general driving and economy because of the amount of oil the tfsi's breath. Take it all of and clean up any electrical moving parts, its worth a shot to see if it solves it. Audi recon its a 4 hour job.
18447/P2015/008213 - Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor (Bank 1): Implausible Signal - To be honest it doesn't really affect day to day driving. Its only when your pushing it/driving it hard it will sometimes hesitate for a second but will then return to normal.
Tbh it's not unusual to get that error code every now and again. I used to get it when I used to hammer mine, but I have since removed the intake flaps.
If it logs it and won't reset, that's when you need to look a little further.
Mine use to come on and off, not its stuck on smd even after resetting it it comes back on after a bit.
Did you ever get this sorted? Mine went off for a while but now got p2015 again and CEL is permanently on. I removed the throttle body yesterday which was filthy and cleaned it thoroughly but still got the same issue. I'm wondering if there's anything else I can try before I bite the bullet on the intake manifold. Cheers.
