P2015 — Intake manifold runner control: implausible position
| Meaning | The flaps in the intake manifold do not reach the position the ECU expects. On VAG 2.0 TDI Motori this is almost a standard failure: the plastic actuator lever breaks. |
| Family | Powertrain (P) |

Black smoke under acceleration
Slightly higher fuel consumption
Unstable idle
Common causes
Flaps seized with carbon deposits
Faulty actuator motor
Position sensor out di calibration
Corroded wiring oppure connector

What does code P2015 mean?
Intake manifold runner control: implausible position. The flaps in the intake manifold do not reach the position the ECU expects. On VAG 2.0 TDI Motori this is almost a standard failure: the plastic actuator lever breaks.
Can I keep driving with code P2015 Attivo?
With caution: limp mode possible, have it checked soon
Common causes — P2015
Broken plastic control lever (most common on 2.0 TDI) Flaps seized with carbon deposits Faulty actuator motor Position sensor out di calibration Corroded wiring oppure connector
How do you fix code P2015?
Look alle the actuator on the manifold: a broken lever is visible by eye. Metal lever repair kits Ultima longer than the Originale; if the manifold is full di deposits it must be cleaned too, otherwise the new lever breaks again.
