Affected Vehicles

Condition
Customer statement: MIL light on.

Workshop findings:
P2015 sender of intake manifold flap position/air flow control, implausible signal

P2020 sender of intake manifold flap position, intake manifold flap 2, implausible signal

Engine may have reduced performance without significant loss of power or stalling

Technical Background
Check service history to see if the improved "B" suffix V157 Intake Flap motor has already been installed previously; if yes, only replace the potentiometer seals as described below.

The fault entry is made because a linkage of the intake manifold flap adjustment sticks.





This is caused by deformed oil seal behind the potentiometers.





When the potentiometer is removed, the oil seal can be seen, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

^ Figure 2 shows a correct oil seal.

^ Figure 3 shows a deformed oil seal which causes the sticking.

Production Solution
Not applicable.
