Intake manifold CEL ⚠️

[uberdot]

Got my AccessPort today and installed EQT Stage 2 93 and took the car for a spin. Wow, the throttle response is amazing, a little too amazing; more than I’m used to and I did a fairly gnarly money shift that went to 7Kish. Brought her home to rest and got a CEL next time I started. Ran codes and got these

Is this related to the ECU adapting to the new tune, hitting a high rev in neutral or coincidental? Appreciate any input. Car is still running like a raped ape and definitely not limping (yet).

Damn sorry to hear your situation man. Im here to see what others say about your issue

I may have isolated the problem. This little hose blew off somehow. There’s a small split in it. It’s possible EQT literally knocked my car’s socks off. Will clear codes and test

Yeap, that makes sense.

Check this post (english is rough), very similar issue - https://golfmk7.com/forums/index.ph...or-switch-circuit-bank-1a.330245/post-6829604

Yes that would do it. Also stop money shifting.

This is my favorite part of that post I linked, just in case you wanted to know.

It’s idling more civilized now and the codes aren’t coming back. Before when I reset they came back instantly. Not used to throttle being so touchy, I did the lockout money upshift on 1-2.

Funny my hose is literally split down the middle from trying to take out the intake. Any idea how easy it is to replace it?

Probably only slightly harder than pumping gas . Dealership would have it in stock cheap

I forget to attach that hose ocasionally when i take out the intake box. Little F-er always seems to fall down below where i dont see it when hooking everything back up/

Does it usually throw a code or is it kinda random?

bought a hose from a stripper
it's split down the middle

this thread delivers

So the code reappeared again after leaving the car parked for a few hours. I checked the intake again, everything was tight and the car is idling and running strong. If the manifold was gone as the codes suggest, wouldn’t the car run poorly as I’ve seen/heard in videos with the same faults? Open to any ideas

Back the hose off a bit. clear codes

Tried this. Still comes back. I reflashed it; no dice. Car is getting good mileage/performance I don’t know what gives. Regarding replacing stuff, what’s the $-$$$ in the hierarchy of parts?
