How the Dieselgeek P2015 Repair Bracket Works
The P2015 error code arises from excessive movement in the V157 intake flap motor. Over time, the mechanism controlling the intake flap wears down, allowing the motor to move beyond its intended range. The Dieselgeek P2015 repair bracket cleverly limits the motion of the V157 motor to the factory-specified range, effectively mimicking the operation of a new, unworn system. By restricting this movement, the bracket eliminates the possibility of the flap motor over-extending, which is the root cause of the P2015 fault code.
This bracket isn’t just a reactive fix; it’s also a proactive preventative measure. Installing the Dieselgeek P2015 repair bracket now can prevent future wear and tear on the intake flap mechanism, guarding against the P2015 error code from ever appearing. Many users have also reported that our repair kit can resolve related TDI error codes such as P2004, P2006, and P2016.
Simple Installation, Significant Savings
The Dieselgeek P2015 repair bracket is designed for DIY installation, requiring only a T30 Torx screwdriver or socket. The installation process is straightforward and can be completed in approximately 15 minutes.
Installation Steps (Brief Overview):
- Temporarily remove the intake flap motor.
- Install the Dieselgeek P2015 repair bracket, ensuring it is flush with the top plate (as shown in the image).
- Reinstall the intake flap motor.

It is crucial to temporarily remove the flap motor during installation to ensure correct bracket placement and optimal functionality. Following this method is essential for the bracket’s guaranteed performance. In some cases, if the V157 flapper motor seems immobile after bracket installation, gently pulling the motor arm forward with the engine running can “jump start” it back into its operating range. This action often clears the error code almost immediately or within a few days of driving.
