I didn't actually stop for a service appointment...my neighbor is an Audi service manager locally and he just told me to stop by and he would check the code.
I just ran into the same issue. The CEL came on in November and after pulling the code, the dealer had to order the part. So, they cleared the code and told me they'd call me when the part came in. I ran without issues for the past three months, and finally got the "Intake Flap Motor" replaced under warranty. I never had another CEL and I don't really notice any difference.
This is apparently a pretty common failure on our cars, so I guess I'm glad I got it fixed. CPO, baby...
