4.2 intake system upgrade
what engine code gets thrown when the plastic intake links break ?
im installing these but i need to make sure i dont need to remove the whole manifold and clean it out. the pivot levers move but im replacing with the metal pivot levers anyways, i dont want to do this crap again as its freezing cold and i have to pass emissions.

Got a 4.2L V8 Audi or VW ? Then you had better check your intake manifold actuator arms Audi/VW P/N 077-198-327A (077198327A) and the corresponding Manifold Pivot Levers ! The OEM plastic versions quickly break, leaving your intake manifold rod stuck which causes poor idle, drivability, loss of power, and poor fuel mileage. This is a very common problem on the Audi/VW 4.2L V8, an otherwise great engine. The dealer will only sell you a repair kit for the linkage arms at nearly $400, and each repair kit only comes with 1 of each length linkage arm. If your vehicle has 2 broken linkage arms, you would need to buy 2 dealer repair kits (cost nearly $800)! If you need a pivot lever, you are really out of luck, as the dealer will only sell you an entire intake manifold at a cost of several thousand dollars !
Our Billet intake manifold arms and pivot levers are made from aerospace grade 6061-T651 aluminum with the linkages containing specially machined black Delrin inserts to provide a perfect fit to the actuator *****. These parts are warranted for life!
Dont go to the VW/Audi dealer and pay big bucks for the new actuator kit or entire new manifold when all you need are these parts (the actuators themselves rarely fail). And DONT pay that kind of money for another set of plastic arms and levers that will break again in quick order.

My links weren't broken, but they were sticking a little, I also found out one of the pods was leaking air. I ended up sealing it with a little black silicone. I was getting P0491 and P0492. Took me forever to discover the real problem after replacing all my vacuum lines, SAI pump, cleaning everything out, etc.
