Some youtube videos that you watch, shall we say, leave you scratching your head somewhat! This one however has quality written all over it and inspires total confidence from a person who knows what he is doing. I followed your excellent video and it turned out exactly as you described, the best part being the engine light turning itself off after the first trip in the car after completing the work and knowing that the rectification work clearly worked. Loving my Jetta again now, haha. Thank you very much for posting this most helpful and informative video, legend!
You're very welcome Bernard, glad if it helps 😎👍
@@wawayltd hallo. I have golf plus 5 2005 bkd and when i turn off motor is shaking and sometimes i hear sound metal on metal sometimes i dont hear sound metal on metal. Also i dont have check-engine sign on my board display. What should i check first?
Symptoms you described seem to be like intake flap.. I'm not sure how to check it apart from connecting diagnostics software..
@@wawayltd thanks for reply, i will start will cleaning intake flap and egr valve, and we will see what will will happen. Also before cleaning i will check first fuse for intake flap. Maybe it is burned.
I know you made this video several years ago and that car is long gone but I would just like to say thank you as the information remains as relevant today as it was back then. I still drive a 2009 A6 C6 and I have found many of your videos very helpful.
Cheers.
Back to the future 😎👍 I'm glad if it helps.
Thanks a lot for the informative and easy to follow video. I replaced the intake flap/motor on my Octavia yesterday and all went smoothly. Saved a lot of money doing it myself.
David, you're very welcome 👍
Great video, it makes it so simple. Thanks my friend
Thank you very much!!! followed your guide to fix my 2006 a3, the f24 fuse had blown, and after trying a new fuse, which blew instantly i knew it was the throttle body, much appreciated ;)
You're very welcome, Mike :) Glad if it helps!
Really helpful video. Just changed the throttle body on my mk 5 golf gt tdi. There was a little bit less room in the engine bay but this video really helped. Thank you very much and keep up the good work
thanks :)
thanks man your video is great and helped me change the faulty part myself. seems fixed now though the OBD2 sensor seems to keep 100% while driving :-)
Excellent video. A great help. Thank you.
Hi you are a good mechanic and teacher,thanks.
+fiatvauxhall I'm neither of those :) Just trying to be. Many thanks anyway :))
You are every time best to explain and fix the problems. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome 👍
Really helpful video. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your really helpful video. I was surprised just how easy it was
Binary Steve You're welcome! Cars are pretty easy once you get on them :)
Thanks a lot for making this video. I am getting a P2108 Error. Pretty sure that this is the same problem as it was making a racket a few days ago then I got a MIL. Clearing the error only works for a while.
Yeah, looks like MIL pointing on it.
Your videos always best. Thank you!
You're very welcome 👍
Thank you for taking the time to do this 👍
Thanks David 👍
Thanks alot for this tutorial, this throttle looks like the one on my mk6 golf 2.0 tdi.
Thanks Andrey :)
Very good information video, good camera, well done 👍🏽
Thank You very much 😊
that was cool at the end when you can hear the valve reopen
Yep, that's what it's there for.
Thank you my friend for your materials, thanks to you I have already done a lot of independent repairs in my car for which I would have had to pay a lot of money. Best regards from Poland:)
You're welcome 👍
Nice and simple video. I think I can do this. Thank you
I'm sure you can do it Syed :)
Hi mate, I managed to change the throttle within 20 mins and everything is fine now. Thanks again for your help 👍
Thank you! Top video.
You're welcome 👍
So the "flap" is supposed to stay open? I am having trouble cranking my Jetta tdi. The code read by the local parts store says: throttle body actuator "a" stuck closed. I took it apart today to clean it well. The flap is always shut and is very hard to open. I probably just need to replace it then right? Also, now all of my dash sensor lights are on. I don't know much about cars in general. Any help would be appreciated. Lol
Great video very informative. Just wanted to know if my throttle body has gone bad. The connection joint between the egr valve and throttle body is leaking oil. Would replacing the o-ring fix this?
Nizarat Younis You can try, I'm not sure if that ring is replaceable, not saying it's not - just never tried it. Could be bad unit - and it's just where oil is coming out - I can't judge from here, would recommend to show it to specialist.
First of all thanks for your great videos.keep up with good work.
I am having problems with vibrations as well but it only vibrates when in neutral or parked at traffic lights,nothing while in gear.could bad throttle body cause this ,changed egr cause the flap was broken but that didnt solved the vibrations.thanks in advance.
Hi Tomas! First my apologies for taking while to reply. Then. . I wish I could help you just knowing that your car vibrates in neutral.. I think with bad intake flap,you wouldn't have problems just on idle. But there are quite a few things to go wrong. Bad engine mounts, injectors, glowplugs with cold start, did you change your filters recently? I can only guess.. I would recommend to see some mechanic - see what he says...

Did you fix your car mate iv got same issue vibrations on idle but not while driving
Great video
Thank you 😊
Hey buddy thanks for videos great help indeed, can you advise or do you know if throttle body is gone then it blows up the fuse. When you replaced throttle body on your car did you replace fuse? I just want to make sure and also do you know where fuse is located I guess its a 10A fuse for it?.
Many thanks
Hi, no I didn't blow the fuse.. I don't even know if there is a fuse for it :).. sorry. When I had to replace mine - the mechanics of it inside were knackered, maybe that little motor inside the unit wasn't in great condition either. So I just replaced it - don't know anything about fuse, sorry.
Yes, there is a fuse for it. It’s a 5 amp fuse (on a 2008 Octavia 2.0 TDi) and mine has been blowing due to the intake flap sticking. The first and second stage fans also run on the same circuit. I’m about to replace my intake flap motor today, just have to get a torque wrench. Will let you know how it goes.
Hi, Great video! I have a 2009 Audi A4 2.0 TDI (143 cv) multitronic and a couple of days ago I got the engine light on the dash. I checked the error with the VAG cable and it was P2008 00 [032] Intake Manifold Flap Bank 1. Is it what you called Throttle Body controlled? is it the same procedure and engine as shown in your video?
When changed the part, do I have to do some kind of adaption with the VAG cable?
Yes, the part I show in the video is intake manifold flap. Bank 1 - means engine's head, 2.0tdi has only one head anyway.
Just based on fault code, I can't tell what is exactly wrong with your intake flap.. But if you need to replace it, and you don't have a device to cleat the the fault code after, it will clear itself when you drive for a bit.
Cheers M8!! :) Looks easy as hell (when u do it) :D i`ll see tmoz when i`ll do it myself! :) by the way does the Throttle body or EGR effects IDLE in any way? (my Throttle body on the side where that mechanism is got the seal popping out and oil on , so my guess is that an indication that i need a new 1) . Did u had any problems with your engline idle (Revs hunting and engine pulsing) ?
Cheers 1 more time Fam :)
When I had problem with throttle body - first time - it was shut and I couldn't start the engine, then it opened and I ignored it till it got stuck again, engine went into limp mode it didn't sound/behave nice. When I put new throttle body, idle became much smoother.
Also long time ago I had problem with EGR valve, it was stuck in position open, and I had emission gases always coming back, which always caused misfire when engine was cold and sometimes when it's hot.
At some point next week I'm going to take out EGR valve and manifold, show what is inside, and see if I can clean it - I've already booked fresh gaskets..
WheelsAndMotors well, my car does a lot of vibration...few days ago i took out the air filter, cleaned it a bit..and vibration stopped for a day..now its back again..i ordered a new air filter and willing to clean MAF sensor (saw it in your video how to do it :D )..could be that issue as well :) Don`t forget to make a video about EGR and MANIFORD when u will do it! :D i`m looking forward to yr video`s and posts! :) learning from you a lot!
BIG UP MAN! :)
Thank you!
You're welcome 👍
Now my car does not shake anymore when I switch the engine off.
Hi!
I'm about to change my throttle body as it keeps showing a p2100 error, i've read on forums that when you've done that a fuse needs changing as well cause normally when the motor fails it blows the fuse too?
Cheers for your answer
I didn't have to change the fuse. It just worked like that. Not sure if there is a fuse for that..
top job m8
Thanks 👍
I have a 2005 3.0 tdi quattro, last year someone jet washed my engine and my engine management light turned on the next morning. The obd scanner indentified a faulty throttle valve sensor. I was advised to continue driving until until exess water dried... but i never replaced it.
I was wondering if there's a difference between a throttle body valve and throttle valve sensor ??
When you connect diagnostics device, it can show throttle opening in %, so there must me something that sends that information. In that car in the video, 2.0tdi, there were no extra sensors on the throttle body unit. It was just in one piece and connector/wire that goes into it, so I believe it senses internally... I don't know what is it like on 3.0. I just had a look on eBay for parts - they sell intake flap unit, but I can't find sensor for that. Maybe it's also in one piece?
Hello, can I kindly ask to do video on how to change the air conditioning flap motor, my air ventilation keeps open all the time, it never closes.
Thanks
Sorry, Waleed - I don't have that car anymore. Also I didn't have to deal with those flaps, so can't even explain how to fix it...
Thanks bro
You're welcome 👍
hi. Very good video and really handy. Also could you tell me where can I buy this pipe which is going to throttle body please. thx
Depends where you live. You can buy from dealership, or from TPS, or on Internet. If you know part number is even easier. Here's a good website listing VAG part numbers:
www.oemepc.com/
Hi I've got an audi a6 c6 estate 2007 2.0tdi I have changed my egr valve for a new one also cleaned the throttle body and intake manifold. But when I start the car it sometimes struggles I've also put a bosch maf sensor on but still it struggles now it's got a lumpy idle. Have you any other ideas of what could be causing this cheers Simon
Hi, I have no idea. Does scanning with something like VCDS give any faults? I mean not just engine management, but full scan.
There can be so many reasons. And I'm not even a mechanic, sorry.
under some driving conditions I will get a while lot of smoke out the tailpipe for example entering hiway around 70km if I press accelerator it will blow a cloud but from a stop at a light full throttle doesn't do it at all or even a 2nd gear pull won't cause it any ideas
oh, there you are.. Does it happen with engine cold or at working temperature? When you get that cloud, do you lose power?
Thanks for this video,Pls can this intake manifold flap motor make a car move slowly? and can particulate filter make a car go slow also?
Hi Martin, quite a few things can make your car go slow :)
I can tell you my symptoms with flap motor: it went into limp mode, misfired, stalled few times. You can check if flap is bad with your finger by disconnecting intake hose.
Luckily for me I don't have a particulate filter. As far as I know about it, when it clogged up, you can't get high revs (because it can't pass too much exhaust gases, but also, there is N75 valve which will send OBD error message)
Hi I have a recent problem with my Tdi 2.0 VW Passat B6 it went down to a kind of limp driving last night the car had been running perfect till then as the fuel was low I thought it had just run out of fuel. I put some fuel in and started it this morning it started to smoke a little the smoke was white when I accelerated it kept stalling and even a little smoke came up through the air intake. I'm pretty new to TDIs and VW the turbo whines a little yet I have no light to say what is failing seems to be fuel yet the smoke is confusing
Don't know Hayden, it needs to be seen and the best to be plugged in and scanned with vag-com. Meanwhile once you are commenting under this video - throttle body is quite easy to check, just take intake pipe off. Also, I had very similar symptoms, when my EGR valve was clogged up (have a look for a video for it at my channel - "EGR valve and intake maniafold Audi A6"). As for turbo, I don't have any practical experience yet. I'm planning to make a video about 1.9tdi Golf turbo, but it might take some time.
Hi, i have faulty intake manifold flap on my bkd engine, now it is disconnected and programmed off so i dont have engine codes. I have very rough sound when i turn off the engine that is for sure. But my engine also seems to run bit too harsh and clattering on low rpms and idle. I have read that this flap also controls airflow on low rpms so could it being faulty cause such symptoms?
I might be wrong, but as far as I know it only controls engine shut down. I would blame rough idle on something else, unless intake flap stuck not fully open.. But that just my opinion.
Hi can you pls tell me what to do if I can fix it or need to change it. My audi a4 2.0TDI gives me an faulty code p3103 intake flap motor. Waiting for your advice. Thanks a lot
As you say, this code points on intake flap motor. So it's either fuse, or wiring, or intake flap itself. I'm not sure if there's a fuse for that. If you have fuse diagram in your owners manual, you can have a look. If I would get this code, I would check if connection and wiring is ok first. I don't think that intake flap is fixable - better just replace it. By the way, if you don't have fuse diagram, you can go through all fuses manually. Personally, I would replace intake flap motor (sometimes they call it throttle body).
Here's reference:
www.obd-data.com/p3103.html
Hi many thanks for your reply and your help.
The intake manifold flap motor and the throttle body are two completely different parts. The intake manifold flap motor operates metering flaps inside the intake manifold on variable intake systems for improved low-end torque. The throttle body is before the intake manifold.
There is no throttle body as such in diesel engines, they always have sufficient amount of airflow. The only reason words "throttle body" are mentioned here - is because people keep calling intake flap this way, because it looks similar to throttle body on petrol engines. Just for SEO, and to help some to find what they looking for :)
That isn't *entirely* true. Many diesels have throttle bodies that are more or less identical to their gasoline counterparts. That said, you are absolutely right about this engine, I didn't realize they had made such drastic changes by this point. I'm afraid I'm more familiar with the Volkswagen offerings, and in that only up thru the TDI-PD generations. After about '06 or '07 my exposure to them have been very limited. I apologize for trying to correct you, it was my own ignorance, not yours.
That's alright :) I get to learn something about older engines :)
ProjectDv2 but this IS a Volkswagen PD engine.
Nice video
I have this problem (p3102 motor for intake flap) in my audi a4 2005 2.0 tdi
Where can i buy this product please
I bought that one from Euro Car parts or GSF, you can check if they still sell it, or find local VW parts shop, or TPS, dealership will definitely sell you one, AutoDoc, eBay has lots.... plenty of options!
Hi, the chenge of truttle body doesn't nedd soft adaptation?
Hi. No.
Hi, fantastic video.i have the same problem with my a4 convertible 3.0 tdi quattrro. do you have a garage? thanks
+Andy Jackson Yes, I do have a garage now... Do you have a problem with intake manifold flap motor?
well, i,ve got p2011 error code which i been told is to do with faulty swirl flaps. no idea.can u give me your garage address please.
+Andy Jackson Currently I have a car in my garage, and it needs to be worked on, when I have a time, I have to say - I don't run my garage as a car repair business, more than that - I'm not even mechanic :) Also I don't have any experience with 3.0 tdi yet... Sorry
nice one, but i want to know that what happens if you clean the truothal body or intake, i mean the carbon ?
Cleaning doesn't always help. The gear inside is failing. Although, if you know how to take it apart for repair, I'd like to know the result.
next week going to change oil and filter, then i i m also going to clean intake and also going to open inside the gear, will keep you up to date!
Hi there, thanks for the video. I was getting a P2100 error in my audi a3 and got the throttle body changed and the fuses. However, that didn't fix the problem as I am from times to times it enters limp mode, the engine management light starts flashing and it loses the power. If on move around 30 miles per hour turn the engine off and back on the flashing light disappears and I get full power again. Any ideas?
Some scanners allow you to see percentage of throttle body opening? Does your scanner show that? Is your car diesel?
Thanks for your response, really appreciated. I've only have a basic scanner, doesn't get into details, just the error code. Yeah sorry, it's a 2004 2.0 TDI A3.
My very basic scanner is Bluetooth OBD plug and app on the phone, this one here:
ruclips.net/video/oUn5u5g6C0A/видео.html
That one shows throttle body opening. With that one you can see if there is a problem with it, if it's not open properly. On diesel engines it must be fully open at all times when engine is running (or at least 90%). Alternatively, you can find someone with VCDS and diagnose what is going on with your car - some people offer that for 20 quid. Or speak to local garage that can do it. You see, sometimes it's not as simple to find out why there is a loss of power, and help of diagnostics can point it out.
Hi, I have got Audi A3 2.0 TDi, appears engine management light indicate throttle body (P2108) problem... how i can fix this fault ??
Regards
Possibly, you'll have to replace throttle body (intake flap motor), you can try to take it apart and clean it, to open the metal plate covering the electronics as this is where oily fluid if there is any will accumulate. But sometimes cleaning might not help, if mechanics are already knackered..
hello, I have done everything perfect job as you did, but after replacing the throttle always see the error p2108. you have to make a calibration? you've just reconnected everything and reset the engine failure? thank you!
It does not work is always open 100%, when I turn off the car vibrates because not closes.
Some diagnostics software lets you see position of throttle. If it doesn't shut when you you switch off the engine, I believe - must be faulty unit.
+WheelsAndMotors ok .. thanks, I will check again.
Hi. I have Audi a6 c6 2.0 140hp. I have problem with first starting engine, it s was a long crank. After first starting, every next starting engine is ok and normally. When the temperature outside is -5, -7, -10... when the engine heaters is on, the car starting normally. Can be this egr problem?
When I had that Audi and when it had EGR problem, it was misfiring when starting cold.
I can only guess what is happening to your car... Could be EGR, also maybe battery, maybe starter motor, maybe injectors. I have 1.6tdi Octavia, it had trouble starting cold, appeared to be faulty injectors..
I don't know, try to find someone who can diagnose it properly.
Hi, shouldn't there be a gasket between EGR and throttle body valve?
As I remember, throttle body unit had some built-in seal, so there was no gasket.
Hi I've just replaced mine same model engine ..and replaced the throttle body with an ERA brand ,,so not a cheap chinese or fake ... I've fitted it and it works but when I do a scan it says OPEN OR SHORT TO GROUND ...is there a fuse in the plenum chamber under the ECU as I've came across an article saying about SA12 fuse 2
Sorry, I'm not sure about the fuse..
I don't have that car for about 5 years now. I remember it had a list of fuses in owners manual..
Sorry I can't help.
@@wawayltd ok Thankyou anyway ..do you remember if you used a genuine part as in VDO siemens.by any chance
@@MrToddy2012 All I remember - I got it from Euro Car Parts.. or GSF. I didn't look at brands back then.
Hi mate why did you need to change it coz my keeps cutting out when I put it in reverse as the car loses drive
My old one was stuck in position "closed", car couldn't start. Called some mecahnic, he scanned it and pointed on this throttle body.
Hi can the throttle body on my diesel cause vibration at idle thanks
Lots of things can cause vibration.
Not sure about throttle body. Normally, if it fails, it doesn't open and then you can't start the engine, or if it's stuck open - shutting down is not smooth.
so i have replaced the throttle body as you cal it, and the vcds still sees it with problem. the old one was blocked in open position. after a test ride something poped during acceleration and the car doesnt accelerate now. the idle works and in neutral it accelerates but when i put in gear and i try to move, after reaching 1300rpm the car is like chocking....
If something poped, I can guess - maybe it's something (like pipe) along turbo line.. Is your boost pressure ok?
Hello, after i replace this part if i need do adoptation or programming anything through Vag com?
Hello, no - they are "plug and play ". No need for adoptation.
@@wawayltd thanks mate!
Hi i have audi a4 b7 2.0 tdi bre when you replace the throttle body do you have to do any adaption or can you just put new one in and drive it
Hi. Put a new one and drive it. No adaptation is needed.
@@wawayltd ok thank you very much been reading people saying you need to code it to car when you put new one in . Im happy now i will put new one in thanks
Maybe for petrol cars you need to code. Diesels don't need sophistication, it's either open or closed.
@@wawayltd thank you very much for your help
hi my car seems to go into a limp mode when i put my foot down in 4th and over 3000 revs.I've had it on the diagnostic machine and it says the motor for intake manifold flap and also overboost condition.can you point me in the right direction as to what this could be? thanks.
+shoaib bashir Can't say so straight, sorry. It can be turbo or vacuum lines. It has to be seen by specialist.
+WheelsAndMotors
thanks for the reply.what is vacuum lines?
Thank you so much. I’ll do this morning and I hope it’s easy with my 2.0 tdi 170 CR
On this car is pretty easy, you're very welcome 😉
@@wawayltd done ! but now my EGR is dead..
@@archosseur In this car EGR is also easy. Not great design, because it gets clogged up with mixture of oil and soot, but it's easy accessible.
Great Video..I have an AUDI A6 with the EML on and gives a code - P2011..Do you have any idea whats wrong and how to repair this?
Thanks
+tamaiana Looks like it's pointing on the unit in this video.. Probably :) Can you check condition of intake flap?
+WheelsAndMotors where is the intake flap? Cannot locate it .
+tamaiana This is the unit the whole video is about :) It's on video thumbnail as well..
+WheelsAndMotors is there anyway to disconnect the connector in order to turn eml light off ?Car is due for MoT in two weeks time. I can't afford to fix that now, but if can unplug connector so that the car passed MoT, then repair at a later date will be affordable...Please
+tamaiana If you disconnect it, EML light won't go away. ECU will "see" that it can't control intake flap, and it's not good. This flap is quite essential for engine work..
hey there wondering if I can pick your brain about my 2.0tfsi a3
I don't have much of a brain :) It's an illusion.. Especially about tfsi.. But try me, I'll be happy if I can help!
I have a problem with my 2007 A6 2.0tdi Auto where it revs too high while driving. If I disconnect the electrical connector on the intake manifold flap motor, it doesn't do it anymore!
That flap shouldn't do any difference to diesel engine while running, it just must stay fully open... I don't know, maybe there's some glitch, and it doesn't open properly and engine revs up with not enough air?? Or if gearbox is auto - maybe there is a glitch? You know most of code readers can show throttle opening percentage - you can have a look what's going on.
Great little video. May I ask a question? After replacing, does the car need to be hooked up to a computer so it can "relearn "? Or will the car do it by itself just by running? Cheers
Justinian Barter No, you don't need a computer to install it. Even if you have a fault code related to it, it should go away after some driving.
Ah many thanks, will attempt to follow your video to try and take out and clean (possibly replace) the air intake flap on my Audi A6 tdi 2.0 as it starts rough, then settles, and the mpg seems a little low. though probably normal for such a big car and being auto. Oh, and just ordered that Bluetooth codereader obd2 thing you recommended 😎 Cheers, Justin
i ve got 2.0 tdi jetta 2010, it has a problem with rough idling high or unstable , so i guess i need to clean throttle body?? can you tell me does my engine even has throttle body ?? :D
You do have a throttle body, which in diesel engines either fully open or shut. If it's shut - you can't start the engine, if it's open - it's all good. Of course it's easy to check if it's stuck in some awkward position. The other valve that gets dirty and gets trouble is EGR valve - that one is always good to clean, I have a video about it. Other reasons can cause rough idling - bad camshaft timing, also on PD engines tandem high pressure pump (as far as I know ) needs to be timed.
thanks for feedback also it has one problem as well in city when i start driving it is not giving me good fuel economy, on the other hand on highway it is perfect, does diesels work on this way ?? they need to get warm before giving economy ????? and it has P2015, P2016 manifold error codes.
Economy is always worse in the city. What exactly it should be - depends on the car and driving style.. and on temperature as well. Your codes seem to be pointing on manifold flap, which is also known as throttle body. Have a search on forums for it, see what other people say.
Would a P2009 fault code relate to this flap?
I had a look in Internet... Possibly. Not 100% sure, sorry.
Hi, need some help. Have same audi a6 2.0tdi 4f c6 2006. And get engine fault sign on panel, Connect car with VCDS read errors and find error code P3103 - 000 - Malfunction - MIL ON
Motor for Intake Manifold flap (V157) clear errors start engine, drive all okay, stop start drive again everything okay, in morning come to car start and again see same sing same error, clear error again and again is all okay.
can you help me ? what to do in this case ? need buy new (Throttle body valve) ? thanks for any advice help
Check wiring to throttle body, try to clean it to see if it helps. in worse case scenario, you'll have to get new unit. By the way, if you getting there - I think it would be worth to clean EGR valve, too.
My car has no driving problems but glowplug is flashing and i got code p145E and p3102 wich is v157 could this be the thing that makes my flashinglight?
+Eric Nordahl This is what I found in tdiclub.com:
Contrary to what you may believe, the flashing glow plug light has little to do with the glow plugs...
Usually it's related to burned out brake lights or a malfunctioning brake light switch... (is your cruise-control working ???)
and the following list of known reasons for the glow plug light to flash. They are listed with the VW code and generic reader P code.
00741 Brake pedal monitoring - implausible signal
01044 Control unit incorrectly coded
16705/P0321 Engine speed sensor - implausible signal

I have order new v157 flap motor and hope that both glowplug and checkengine go out
+WheelsAndMotors i changed my intake flap and all faulcodes gone :D
+Eric Nordahl Great! I'm glad it's sorted :)

What about a simple alignment? will that fix it?
What is simple alignment?
Hi , I have problem with the throttle body , when I shut down the egr it starts to judder a strange sound like hitting with a hamer..I disconected the electric controler and the juddering is gone,, any solution? should I take off and clean the egr or ?
Don't understand completely, sorry.. What do you mean by "shut down the egr"? Also which controller do you disconnect. Actually, EGR is not difficult to access in this car, it's always worth to give it a clean. Here's the link:
ruclips.net/video/zN4he3H4Nok/видео.html
i meant shot down the car ,sorry bro .
i disconnect the electrical controler
Which electrical controller do you disconnect? The one for throttle body (shown in this video) or the actual egr valve?
the one for throttle body
So, if you disconnect throttle body and judder stops, wouldn't that be throttle body to blame?
Please mind, that normally it does make a bit of noise when you shut your engine down, because it closes and opens flap. I showed that noise at the end of this video. If your noise is different and sounds not right, probably something wrong with throttle body. You can take it out, try to open and shut with your fingers, if it's clanky and shaky - consider replacing throttle body (also known as intake flap motor). For reassurance you can find specialist with VAG-COM to scan if there is any errors on intake. If you don't have engine management light on, then simple code reader won't show anything, it must something like VAG-COM, VCDS or anything that can go into different systems. EGR valve also has it's plug (as it shown in that other video). Also, I said before, cleaning egr and manifold is always good, because they get dirty inevitably... Good luck :)
hello! Why is the electronic full of oil? (my car)
Quite often turbo is pushing oil towards the intake. If intake flap starts leaking it - it could be faulty.
almost a week ago it gave me an error and by reading it was the throttle body valve or whatever, will it harm my engine if i drive around with it? The error gos somethimes by himself and returns back.
The purpose of throttle body on diesel are mainly to help to shut the engine down. Rather than that - it stays fully open all the time. Also it prevents the engine from "running away", situation when bad diesel engine start consuming the oil as fuel and revs very fast no matter what you do - even you switch ignition off. The only way to stop it then - is to stop the air supply. If throttle body is not working then you'll have to clog up the air intake with something else (like a piece of cloth). Have a look here on RUclips for "run away diesel" - scary! :) But don't worry - it doesn't normally happen to engine in good condition. I drove couple days with throttle body switched off, before I bought a new unit.
thank you for you kind answer, today i have other worries because its the first time i own an audi and today i was stuck at traffic and looked arond on my dashboard and saw "check" button, when i pressed this 3 errors showed up, first one was brake second one oil level sensor (sensor was written on top of it) and third was oil pressure and thereafter it gone, i almost got a heat atack. I know recently the guy who owned had changed oil pump and turbo of it and i have 1 year warranty on both of it. Toke the car to a nearby garage and he checked with a laptop and there where none of these errors besides throttle body valve....
It does only come up when i press the "check" button :S im clueless what should i do? searched the internet but havend found anything then
That's strange that they don't show on a diagnostics program. I don't know what it could be about brakes - are your pads ok? brake fluid level? These cars in 2005 and 2006 had bad oil pump design, so they were failing a lot - they solved it on later models, went from chain driven to gear driven. If you have a new pump, it's great and even better if it's with the warranty. Also I heard of oil sensors failing (level and temperature), but it is pretty easy to replace. Oil pressure warning though would scare me too. When I had pump failure oil pressure warning was red. I don't know what kind of laptop they use in the garage, but if you had "check engine" light - it should have a record in ECU, even if the problem could have gone..
i dont have any errors coming up on the screen, just whenever i press "check" button it appears 3 errors and lot of yellowish symbols at the top and they go away. The guy said that i shouldnt worry because it disappears but whenever the errors stay or show up while driving then i should shut off the engine and call my dealer (or the one i got warranty for).
The first error was from brake, the guy even added some brake fluid to check if the error is "real" rather then check up control of the audi system.
So may i ask you, did the error (the red symbol for oil pressure) show up while you was driving?
Oh yes - I was driving, then suddenly I had red sign OIL PRESSURE + beeping sound. When you get red warning signal - that means, you should stop and it's unsafe to drive any further. Yellow signs normally just give you warning that needs to bee looked at. Of course things like brake pads would stay yellow even till it goes "metal to metal", but you know what I mean.
I really don't know how to help you. It looks very strange to me - warning signals with no record in ECU.. Maybe some sort of glitch? If you have warranty (at least for that oil pressure/pump sign) - maybe you should speak to people who sold you the car?
is that the same for the audi a3 2.0 tdi 2007 BkD engine ??
Should be the same. Is the engine located across the bonnet on A3?
the throttle body is located at the front of the engine on a3
You got it then :)
Can dtc p2108 be fixed with this? On A6 c6 2.7tdi
2.7tdi is a V6 engine, as far as I know. I have no experience with intake on those, sorry
@@wawayltd no problem mate. Great video!
Is the throttle body and the throttle body intake manifold flap the same thing
On diesel engines supposed to be same. It's intake manifold flap (motor) or some people call it throttle body. If it's as you say all together - throttle body intake manifold flap, it still describes the same thing.
@@wawayltd thanks mate
yes it happens when warm and I lose power for about 5 seconds while dumping smoke but when the smoke stops power returns
As I mention before, I'm not professional, but it seems to me that your turbo is dying. Can you check/diagnose it somewhere?
ok ya I have a full powertrain warranty from audi so ill have it looked at
when it smokes it also has a funny burning smell is that normal with a bad turbo
but its not all the time I can baby it and theres no smoke
Yeah, it looks like when turbo kicks in - it's not burning properly (perhaps wrong proportion of the air), that's why it stinks and smokes.
Could be some other reason, of course, it needs to be looked at, so if you have a warranty - go for it :)
Hi ,I was looking for vacuum and fuel pump video ?
Sorry Kristaps, I don't have that car for about 5 years, so I can't make any new videos. I have a video about low pressure fuel pump on Skoda Octavia, probably should be similar. But I don't have any experience with vacuum pump yet.
I have audi a6 c6 2.0 diesel,idle up and down,smell diesel and engine is shaking, what the solution. ? thank you
Is it only on idle? Any problems while driving?
no problem with driving,just smell little bit off diesel sometimes,I all ready change injectors but still the same problem 😈
I can't say, sorry - it can be anything. Lots of people complain about shaking on idle, even I had that before I had to get rid of my Audi, but I don't know what exactly causing it.
ok man thanks for the help at least just so I know where to start
Jeffrey Tanguay Anytime :) Hope it helps.
My pipe just snapped out of the throttle body but it doesn t fit back in. Doesn t go fully 😳
Wow... Do you mean intake air pipe?
please can u help me! i have two error code! p3101 and P3103 what is this?
Looks like you have a problem with intake flap (same or similar as this video).. Check this link:
wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/19559/P3101/012545
i using the new parts for 4 days and everything its good and now its not working. its gone. what can i do now?
thank you so much your help
Hello, i have a problem with my car Audi a3 2.0 tdi engine it's like this in video, faults are Exhaust gas recirculation, camshaft sensor. can you tell me where is the problem? Thank you!
And Still keep check engine light on.
Hi Naldi, I don't have experience with camshaft sensor, so can't help you with this, sorry. As for EGR, it needs to be either cleaned of replaced.
What code does it give you?
@@wawayltd 16785
If it's same engine like in the video, probably easiest thing to tart with - clean it like this and see if it helps:

I did mine on a6 c6 and thepipe coming out when u put foot down :( help
Don't know.. it's either new throttle body doesn't want to hold the pipe, or the pipe is nackered and needs to be replaced. Are you sure it's connected correctly?
Yes i did it correctly now .. but sometimes my cara turn off on its own while driving becuase the throttle body is after market and you need to adapt or adjust.. i had to order original one
Do u have a video for clutch and flywheel?
No, not yet. Not for the Audi. I have one for Nissan Primera, but it's different - in Primera engine goes across the bonnet with gearbox on a side, in Audi evrything goes along the car..
One day, I'll do it.
Hi,
i hope you have an answer for me :).
1. I have a motor sign coming up in my audi a6 2.0 TDI (station vagon) . Can it be because of failure in intake manifold flap motor?
2. How can i check which product code i have without opening the intake manifold flap motor? Because i see that there are 3 different codes which look almost the same, 03G128063J , 03G128063G, 03G128063Q.
If you have answer then you will save me a lot of money :). I live in Norway and the workshop has told me that if the problem is in intake manifold flap motor then it will cost me around 1000 USD to change it (including parts).
+xalidqurbanov also question is:
3. After you have taken the body out, and put it back in, do you have to install it in car computer again?
+xalidqurbanov Here's what I can say:
1. It depends what fault code engine light comes out with.
2. In most cases very last symbol (letter that comes after numbers) means modification of the same part, and you can use any. In fact, some car parts sellers don't even use that very last letter.
3. You can clear the error with any code reader, but also the lihjt will go away if new part that you fit works good.
+xalidqurbanov P.S. You have to drive with new throttle body for a bit before car "understands" and clears the error
Hello is this Fault code P2100??
First time when I had problem with it, it didn't give any OBD code. It was stuck closed and I couldn't start the car. Then I called VW specialist, he disconnected plug from it, opened it with a finger and told me to get a new unit. With that plug disconnected, I had a code, but I don't remember what was it. Could as well be P2100. When I replaced it, after some driving code was gone.
hello boss can you look my car for i like your work please
Sorry Christian, don't understand your question. What do you want me to do?
That's 374 000 miles or km ? :)
+Mateusz K That's miles. This car has done 409.000 miles before being retired.
Wow any major problems with the engine ? Do you remember the engine number code ?
+Mateusz K 2.0tdi produced between 2005 and 2006 had bad design of oil pump, it was chain driven, and many of them were failing. However Audi didn't admit mistake, didn't do any re-calls, so when cars were out of warranty, people had to fix them for their own money, as I did - just 3 months after I bought that car in 2008. Later models (after 2006) were fitted with gear driven pumps, so problem was solved (also for me). Didn't really have any major issues - just what you would expect, when doing lots of miles. Not sure of engine code, probably - BLB
One type has 5 pins in the plug ... the other type only 4 pins

Ничего не понял, но - пожалуйста 😊
Hi, I have an Audi A6 3.0 Tdi and have ticking noise just like in this video: ruclips.net/video/eG4-GQFTk9U/видео.html
Fault codes that are thrown are:
P161A - glow plug cylinder 6, interruption
P161F - glow plug cylinder 1, interruption
P1018 -
P1016
P106B
P2425
The car drives fine, it just sounds horrible with the ticking noise. Do you think I should replace the throttle body and/or EGR-valve??
Many thanks
Quite a few fault codes you have there :) I don't have any experience yet with 3.0 or 2.7 tdi. When I had trouble with EGR on my 2.0dti - it was misfiring and was giving out some codes that irrelevant to actual egr. EGR was stuck in position "open" and engine was suffocating with exhaust gases, when it needed more air. Does your ticking look like a misfire? But, if you're saying it's not affecting performance, then I don't know...
When my throttle body died, I couldn't start the engine, because it was shut. As I said, I don't know yet how to get to EGR on these V6 tdi's , but if you have chance, EGR system - cooler and valve it is always worth to give it a good clean, even if they not causing trouble yet - they get dirty inevitably. Regarding throttle body (intake flap) - on that 2.0 tdi Audi in this video, I could physically feel with my fingers, that it was closed when it supposed to be open and when I tried to move it - it didn't feel right. Unfortunately, I'm not able to say what exactly wrong with your engine by noise it's making, sorry :(
what year is your car? i have a 2010 A6 and have an engine light that shows an error for the swirl flap, is this the same part?
That one is 2005. What engine do you have? In 2010, it probably will be the one that starts with letter C. Mine was BLB
