Hi all,
I've got the classic intake flapper motor/sensor issue. The dealer's solution is a whole new inlet manifold, and of course re-sealing injectors, and a load of labour hours.
I've picked up a new flapper motor for good measure, but my error codes are follows:

012691 - intake manifold runner control
P3193 - 002 Open stop outside fo valid range

004248 - Intake Manifold tuning valve position sensor (G336)
P1098 - 001 - Open or short to Plus

012600 - Intake Manifold Runner Control
P3138 - 008 - Regulation Deviation

It's all looking like the position sensor, rather than the motor, which I gather is a separate unit, and part of the inlet manifold. I've not installed the new motor yet, as I don't want a dodgy position sensor try to make the motor move beyond its capabilities.

Is it possible to get hold of the position sensor by itself and replace, or am I going to need to get the whole new inlet manifold and take a pounding from the local VAG dealership?

It's the older 200HP TFSI engine. 8ED model.

Thanks in advance.
 
Other manufactures you cxan but this is Audi we are talking about.

Is there not a part number on the existing one that you can cross reference?
