so i got a P2015 the intake manifold code. my car isnt under warranty anymore. im at like 99xxx miles. I was told that I can get the intake manifold replaced for free by the dealer. is this true ?? i also have a misfire at idle. but my plugs and coil packs are brand new. would this cause a misfire ??

Have you ever done a carbon cleaning?

[yakev724]

try a new PCV valve. make sure you get the correct part no. (depends on whether your had oil consumption stg. 1 done).

had carbon cleaning done 3K miles ago

I have a feeling your intake manifold gave out and the flappers failed. Has your intake manifold been replaced previously? You can DIY and source a new manifold ~$250. The dealer will charge in excess of $1,200 when I got a quote (it was done under warranty and I was told about the stupid flappers that sometimes fail, wanted to know how much I would have to pay if they failed again...).

I do not know if it has been done before, How can I find out ??

My car just had this a month ago. 31k miles on it. Dealer replaced the manifold.

Follow the DIY and save several hundred dollars. If you open your hood and have the car running... Look at the rear of the intake manifold and I'm sure you'll hear a loud vacuum leak. I don't understand why dealers charge so much when it's really a two hour job.

The part is pretty pricey.

$213 and free shipping at ECS for a new manifold and about an hour and a half long job to swap it out. You can clean your valves while you're in there and do it all for a fraction of what it would cost to have a dealer or shop do it.

Follow the DIY on here and you'll be fine.

I think I paid 225$ at the dealer for the part. Still saved a lot doing it myself.

The DIY threads on here are awesome. I never dreamed of replacing a turbo on this car but having a guide really makes the process easier. Cheers to audizine!
