First of all part that You need and tools:
If You had intake flap motor (IFM) with number 06f-133-482 You need to replace it with the same part.. without any letter on the end of part number. I’ve made that mistake and had to send it back.
Tools:
Torx 27 socket
10mm socket
Extensions
Slim extension or screwdriver type tool
Phillips screwdriver
Flat screwdriver
Step1:
Remove windshield washer reservoir (one Phillips screw on top and there is a electrical connector on the bottom) and move on side
Step2:
Remove two connectors that are in the way to IFM, unscrew that silver metal holder with 10mm socket ( be careful not to drop that little nut !) Pic#2
Move aside all hoses and that metal holder.
Step3
With long extension unscrew first bolt from the bottom of engine bay
Step4
unscrew two other bolts with slim extention that You need to push thru those two metal pipes ( I’ve used that screwdriver type of tool)

Step5
remove that arm that moves intake flap with flat screwdriver and remove IFM .
Step6
Install new IFM and then push that Intake flap arm back on new IFM
Step7
reconnect everything back
Step8
Go to your friendly napa or autozone to clear the codes and enjoy ( if the cel will come back You will have to go to dealership to adapt the IFM – I did not have to)
Step9
Have a beer
