"cheap" inlet manifolds

[tech838]

Having some trouble with my swirl flaps now and looking at refurbing the manifolds

I've heard that the quality of some of the kits available isn't great, but now you can get a set of refurbished inlet manifolds for ~£160

Has anyone got any experience of these? Are they any good?

The last thing I want is cheap plastic falling into a valve but at £400 EACH brand new genuine ones from TPS are hard to justify especially as I don't need a new motor

Thanks for any info

What engine , code ?

If it is a 3litre engine remove them and code them out. Much cheaper.

I think removal is probably the way to go but if you could keep them for not much more it'd be worth it

Yes we used this company for our repair s
You can get service kits from vag if it’s just the flap/ connector but often it’s the stepper motor ( these will have to be reset via vag com ) if memory serves me right
