Intermittent P2015 VW 2.0 Tsi 2010
Since a few weeks i'm having intermittent P2015 codes on my 2010 VW Scirocco 2.0 Tsi. Slight history on the car, bought it 4/5 months ago, full service history, and had a head rebuilt february 2025. Car still drives fine with cel on dash.
Got a cel a few weeks ago, and after reading code with Car Scanner on android, and a generic OBD scanner, i get P2015. Seems to be related to the swirl flaps in the inlet. P2015 unfortunatly can mean a variety of things. Could be the flaps are stuck, the sensor on the manifold is faulty, the actuator for the flaps gets overextended, etc. I don't think the flaps would be stuck, seeing the head has been rebuilt a bit over a year ago, meaning the inlet manifold would have been off. Already checked the plug to the sensor, but to remove/replace the sensor, inlet manifold needs to come off. And then it seems i have to replace the injector seals to, as they come off with the manifold.
I think the cel gets triggered on decellaration. I have a fancy steering wheel in the car that shows various info, including if a cel is present. On decell i can see it jumping from 0 to 1 sometimes.
I don't mind spending to fix it, but i hate to throw parts at it untill its fixed.
1st post on here, hope this is enough info.
