Added to the growing list of mechanical failures, a new intake manifold was required due to the intake flap not working. The car was running roughly and lost power a couple of times and the engine warning light came on

The fault was identified as P2015 - Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor (Bank 1): Implausible Signal

This issue seems well known on the golfmk6 forum, but haven't found much on the Oz forums, is it a known issue here.

The car is just over 3 years old and has just covered 48,000km, I certainly don't expect to replace intake manifolds this early.
