►The MK7 Volkswagen GTI has a fairly complex and cleverly engineered intake manifold. Because of the complexity, this means that it is more likely to need to be serviced or replaced. While the job of replacing the intake manifold isn’t inherently difficult or expensive, there are numerous steps required when taking it off.  Aaron Davis, our Audi Catalog Manager, walks us through step-by-step on how to remove the intake manifold on his very own 2016 VW GTI.

There are many reasons that you might need to remove your intake manifold on the MK7 VW GTI or any other car that uses the MQB 2.0T or 1.8T platform. The most common of which are:

Intake Manifold Flap Failure
-Fault code P02014
-Fault code P02015
-Intake manifold flap failure most commonly occurs when carbon building accumulates on the flaps inside the intake manifold. When this happens, they are unable to operate efficiently. 

Carbon Buildup
-Since these MQB engines are direct-injected, carbon buildup is an unfortunate fact of life. As carbon buildup occurs, it strangles your engine of the air. With this, you can sometimes see a noticeable loss in power and fuel efficiency. 

High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Failure
-HPFP failure isn’t uncommon on the MQB platform. To replace it, you have to first remove the intake manifold as it is fastened to it.
