Intake Manifold Flap Actuator / Adjuster

Most modern TDI engines are fitted with this air intake manifold flap actuator / controller / adjuster. After an engine light warning on dashboard the diagnostic will point to  Intake Flap Motor / actuator etc  if this is the cause of the problem.

Here at  WorldCarParts  we stock the  Siemens VDO brand  which is an OEM replacement as most of these units will have VDO markings on them.  They usually need re-proramming after the replacement  which  VAG COM  diagnostic equiment is recommended by Continental to do the job.

There are forums on the internet talking about the issue & symptoms  which can be useful to determine the problem.


We do have a wide selection of these units in stock mainly for Audi, Seat, Skoda & VW models.  We are always happy to answer any enquiries so please send us a quick e-mail or simply phone with your car's  chassis (VIN) number and we'll check our stock and give you the best advice we can.


We do encourage customers to have these units replaced by qualified mechanics or main dealers but more capable customers with the  right equipment might find below video helpful, showing how to replace an air control flap adjuster / motor.
