Intake manifold was replaced under warranty in 2015. In late 2019 the vehicle displayed a service engine warning which turned out to be the intake manifold again. Out of warranty the service cost me in excess of $1000. I see the warranty was extended on older years for the same exact reason but not the 2013. This needs to be remedied as soon as possible.

2014 volkswagon Gti, engine light came on 57,000 to 62,494. I read up on the engine light regarding p2015 code, which is an intake manifold problem, that volkswagon recognized as a problem, but instead of recalling, they decided to extend warranty to 120,000 mikes, but only as a lottery picking of VIN numbers, so if your VIN wasn't on list, and you had the same problem, you had to pay for this poor quality intake manifold problem. They would clean if only cleaning, $1200. If it involved the worse case, it took changing manifold, of which that would be, needless to say, much more, mind you at 60,000 miles this expensive cost. So yeah, look forward to this much expenses at this early in the life of the vehicle. So one thing is knowing volkswagon recognized the problem, but treated fix as only some would qualify for extended warranty, and if you experience problem and your VIN wasn't on list you have to pay. You call volkswagon headquarters or customer care, because if there is a problem, and manufacturer is willing to work with you and understand extenuating circumstances, explaining you had two of their products, and they make things good and go the distance, then that's good, because all you want is a fix/corrective action; however, when you speak to dealership and report to headquarters, and all they want to quote to you is that it's out of their hands, that your car's VIN # is not lucky enough to be on the list (lottery/pot luck), . . . So you're stuck with a young car with enormous expenses, after the expensive purchase was not long. 2014 volkswagon Gti. The other is just extreme expense for cleaning or replacement of intake manifold that company recognizes problems, but handles whether warranty is extended or not based on whether your car's VIN was included, like on a lottery.

Engine is misfiring at 84k miles causing the car to need a whole new engine rebuild. I have gotten the vehicle serviced regularly to prevent such issue. Fuel injectors, intake manifold gaskets, and intake manifold were replaced on 2/21/18 and I also had a carbon cleaning this day as well at 79k. All four spark plugs, and ignition coils have also been replaced. With all these preventative repairs I should not be having to replace my engine only 5k miles are all those repairs.

My intake manifold change over valve are rattling. Although I have a 10 yr "drive train" warranty vw told me that the manifold is covered in the warranty but the "inside components" are not. Even worse the vw mechanic said that "this is common with the vr6 engines. " this should not be allowed to happen.
