The fact that people are linking to treads that have nothing to do with the engines in the new GTI and are calling out the wrong part blows my mind. The amount of in common the Gen1 and the Gen3 have can just about be counted on one hand. Also how fast this thread went off topic is sad.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD OR REMOVE IT!!!
Get the old Gen 1 SHIT out of your heads people it's a new engine!
Rant done.
What you can do.
1) This problem/part 100% covered under warranty and you will probably get it covered. But what a lot of people don't know is that the dealer does not look for the tune and flag your car. It's VW, when they are looking at the log the dealer turned in to show proof that the fault is in the ECM to get the claim covered.
The fact that you have flashed your ECM, no amount of flash counter reset will really help you if VW wants to dig for it.
You are at risk of being flagged.
Sorry no sugar coating it.
2) You could buy the part and replace it yourself, run basic setting when replaced.
Sensor is G336
