EML: Intake Manifold Runner position sensor/switch circuit range/performance

[EatSleepExplore]

currently got this code that won't clear

from what I can google it appears It might be an issue with carbon build up in the intake manifold?

anyone experienced anything similar .

the van is a 2018 204

Any warning lights in dash? What's the mileage of the van?

currently got this code that won't clear

Even engine not running? What tool you are using for fault code reading? Can you extract "Freeze frame" data of the fault?

What was the out come on this, did you get it resolved? i have the the same issue, Engine Management Light on Dash and Fault Code of P2015, my van is 2017 204

I recently had coil light flashing amber and engine management light staying on. Called VW assist and ge followed me to my garage. Van is just in Warranty so they are replacing the intake manifold part. T6 6k miles and not even 3 years old yet! This image from AA patrol

Had my engine management light pop on and stay lit. The alarm related to Intake Manifold Runner position sensor/switch circuit range/performance.
It did not seem to me to be causing any drivability issues. The alarm was cleared, returned and after booking it in for fault diagnosis has cleared itself.
Is this an alarm of any major concern, has anyone else experienced this alarm and had any work done to rectify. Cheers

 

[Dellmassive]

what van and mileage?

could be a sign of carbon build-up in the inlet manifold etc.

 

[GrahamS]

T6 1.9 with about 81500 on clock. I haven’t noticed any drop off in performance. Booked in for investigation and since posting have seen some scary sooty manifold pictures on forum. Hopefully it’ll be a manageable fix if needed.

Had Engine management light on again today for the following code P201500 Intake manifold runner position Sensor. Any thoughts guys on what part needs changing this time round.

P201500 Intake manifold runner position Sensor

P2015 = Implausible signal - I would check the wiring first.

Hi there, Has anyone got to the bottom of this? I’ve got the same code on my 2019 204bhp with CXE engine. I can only find info on every other engine but mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
chris.

I've had the P2015 message now three times in 2 weeks - the first time was 200 miles and about a week after getting the cam belt, water pump and crank flange seal replaced

Got the carista out and got this readout - see below- followed advice online which set to reset it and it went away for two weeks then came back twice yesterday - I've contacted the garage that did the work who said bring it down for a look but is it possible that the work they did has potentially affected the engine? 2019 kombi t32 with 54k on the clock

I'd doubt it's anything to do with what's just been done to the van.

All VAG diesels suffer this. Just had a Tiguan in this week, got an A4 coming in next week for the fault. Ultimately you'll need a new inlet manifold. I haven't looked at the transporters manifold setup, but there are fixes available that stop the runner flap operating linkage fully returning and sticking. I have no experience of using the kit as we just put on a new manifold.

 

[Cousinbillybob]

Any idea where you get this kit..? My van’s MOT is due in 3 weeks and I need the Eml light cleared. No having any driving issues.!

 

[Strettyp]

I've had the P2015 issue for a few months - had a specialist on it and been advised that there's an issue which requires a new manifold and 8 hours labour

In the garage now - does the 8 hours sound right for 2019 T6?

Make sure that it is the manifold at fault first. My VW specialist used ODIS and identified that it was an actuator at the side of the manifold which was at fault and NOT the inlet manifold (still triggered the P2015 code). My bill was about £750…

 

[Strettyp]

The guy said that there was a seal leaking slightly when warmed up and it's only going to get worse over time

The issue flagged up about once a week in Feb but is now coming up most days so does seem to be getting progressively worse

Been quoted £400 for the OEM manifold and then 8 hours labour so a tasty £1500 Inc vat and sundries

 

[Strettyp]

Ok back from the garage after some painful wallet surgery

Had the manifold replaced and asked them to keep hold of it so I could see it as they mentioned it was sooted up

This is a 2019 57k mile manifold after 5 years






Just driven back home and it immediately feels a more peppy drive with the throttle response being far quicker and smoother, but I'm shocked at how clogged up it's got especially only using Vpower which I thought would clean this crud out as it went

Garages only suggestion to help prevent this building up again was a hot run doing 70 in 4th gear for 20 mins a week

 

[roadtripper]

I've made the choice to run VPower recently for similar reasons but that's a frightening amount of soot for the mileage!

I generally drive gently too so food for thought there.

 

[Strettyp]

Yeah - I am surprised how much of a difference it's made to the van having it swapped

I usually do one slow commute of 15 miles a week, then one steady 60mph return trip of around 100-120 miles at the weekend and apparently I'm not working the engine hard enough to prevent this build up

only using Vpower which I thought would clean this crud out as it went

More chance of it cleaning out your wallet than anything else.
