Are you experiencing the frustration of a persistent check engine light in your diesel vehicle? If you own a Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, or Skoda with a Common Rail TDI diesel engine, and you’re seeing the P2015 fault code, you’re not alone. The typical solution offered by dealerships involves replacing the entire diesel intake manifold, a costly repair that can easily exceed $900, including parts and labor. This process is not only expensive but also carries risks associated with disconnecting fuel lines.
Fortunately, there’s a more affordable and straightforward solution: our P2015 Repair Bracket. For a fraction of the cost, and in just about 15 minutes of your time, you can install our bracket and resolve the P2015 error code. This not only saves you significant money but also helps you avoid potentially disrupting your delicate fuel system. To ensure a successful repair, we provide free technical support and access to detailed YouTube video tutorials guiding you through the installation process. Please note that the guarantee of effectiveness is tied to proper installation as demonstrated in our videos and our ability to assist with troubleshooting should the code persist after the initial installation.
Understanding the P2015 Fault and How Our Bracket Solves It
The P2015 error code indicates an “Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor” issue, specifically an “Implausible Signal.” This occurs because the V157 intake flap motor mechanism can over-rotate over time due to wear in the soft plastic stop on the intake manifold. This over-rotation causes the sensor to send incorrect signals to the engine control unit (ECU), triggering the check engine light and the P2015 fault code.
Our precision-engineered P2015 repair bracket effectively limits the motion range of the V157 intake flap motor. By restricting its movement to the factory-specified range—the same as when your vehicle was new—our bracket prevents the flap motor from opening or closing too far. This precise limitation eliminates the root cause of the P2015 error.
Beyond being a fix for existing P2015 codes, installing our bracket is also a proactive measure. It serves as an excellent preventative solution, significantly reducing the likelihood of future problems. By installing the bracket now, you can preemptively address the wear and tear issue, preventing the dreaded P2015 code from appearing down the road. Furthermore, our repair kit may also resolve related TDI error codes such as P2004, P2006, and P2016, which are often associated with similar intake flap motor issues.
Fast Shipping Options and International Availability
For customers within the USA needing a quick solution, we highly recommend choosing FedEx 2nd Day Flat Rate shipping at checkout. While we also offer standard US Postal Service shipping, FedEx provides a faster and more reliable delivery timeframe. We process and ship orders Monday through Friday from Colorado, excluding holidays.
For our international customers, we understand the need for efficient shipping as well. While USPS international shipping is currently suspended due to system-wide delays, we recommend FedEx International Connect Plus service. Although slightly more expensive, it offers significantly faster and more dependable international delivery. For most international orders, taxes are calculated and collected during checkout, ensuring a duty-paid and hassle-free delivery experience. If taxes are not collected at checkout, please be aware that FedEx may collect local taxes upon delivery. Good news for our Canadian customers: the USMCA trade agreement often reduces taxes and duties on this product.
For our customers in Canada, you can also purchase directly from our authorized Canadian distributor for potentially faster and more localized shipping.
Simple Installation with Basic Tools
Worried about complex repairs? Don’t be. Installing our P2015 repair bracket is designed to be a DIY-friendly process. As demonstrated in our comprehensive video tutorials, the installation requires only a T30 Torx screwdriver or socket.
Installation is straightforward but crucial to follow correctly: The intake flap motor must be temporarily detached to ensure proper bracket installation. Our performance guarantee is contingent upon installing the bracket with the flapper motor removed as shown in our video instructions. After installation, visually confirm that the bracket sides are flush with the top plate, as illustrated in the product images. In rare cases, if the V157 flapper motor seems immobile after bracket installation, you can gently “jump start” it by manually moving the motor arm forward into its operating range while the engine is running. This action typically resolves the issue immediately, or the code should clear within a few days of normal driving.
Vehicle Compatibility
Our P2015 repair bracket is specifically designed and confirmed to fit aluminum intake manifolds with part number 03L 129 711E, commonly found on 2.0-liter four-cylinder Common Rail TDI diesel engines. This includes models used in North American diesel Golf, Jetta, and Beetle TDI vehicles from 2009-2014, and the majority of 2.0 Common Rail TDI vehicles outside of North America. Please note: This bracket is not compatible with V6 TDI engines or gasoline 2.0 turbo engines.
