Hey everyone, my first topic.
Long story short…
For some weeks ago, my car had an oil leak. It took long time to figure out where it comes from, but I had an idea that it was the little “8-ring-gasket” from the “oil housing”. - And it was!
The car starts, and no more oil leak.!! :-)
But, after a little test drive, the motor-engine-laps vent on.
It was easy too see/hear/feel that the motor wasn't going well. It was shaking and it didn't respond on the acceleration, as fast as it used to do.
I put on my OBDii Carista, i got for my Iphone.
It gave me a lot of faults:
P1923 Check DTC Memery of ECU Number 2
P2004 Intake Manifold flap, bank 1 Stuck Open
P2006 Intake Manifold flap, bank 1 Stuck Closed
P2007 Intake Manifold flap, bank 2 Stuck Closed
P1573 AUDI - Left Engine Mount Solenoid Valve Open Circuit
P0660 Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Control, Circuit (Bank 1)
Soo… What is it.?
Of cause I have read all the fault-codes, and it is clearly something about that the manifold doesn’t open correctly for the air flow. But why? I have just disconnected everything and connected it again.
Everything was working perfect before the oil-housing-project.
So I don't understand was is wrong now?

I allready tried some thing that I will state here:
- I don't use "JHM intake spaceres", so it isn't because of the ekstra space.
- I have tried to ensure that all 4 connecters in the front of the manifold are connected tight!
- I have tried to switch plug 1 and 2. (It dosn't make any changes. Weird, but gave identical faults. And the car was acting the same way.)
Actually I don't know now, what way of the plug 1 and 2 is the right one?

- I have tried to clear the fault-codes, but it came back right away. (I have only tried with my Carista, not a real VCDS)
- I have tried to unplug the battery and back again - no effect
- I have charged the battery to full. (First time after the oil-housing-project, the battery was dead, and I jumpstarted the car. It gave a lot of flashing in the dashboard, and I couldn't get the key out. Maybe some kind of immobilizer?)
- The upper 'arm' (no. 2 in the picture) is moving when i push the accelerator
- I didn't "open" the manifold, so I don't know the conditions the "flaps" inside are?

Some questions:
- Is it right that the problem is om the passenger side only? (Motor 1 on the picture?)
- Is it about the connections or can it also be about some hose for the vacuum?
- Is it possible to test the motor/arms? When or how should they moves?
- Can I test the plugs? Does it give the right signal?
I really hope that some of you have some ideas.
I really can't understand why it gives all this faults now, but not before?
It has to be some "rookie mistake" I have done?
// Thanks Michael
