P2015 error, but the car is fine!

Tiguan 2.0 TSI 4motion, 2011.

So I got the P2015 "Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1" error code this week.

The car runs perfect - idle, accelerating, cruising, etc etc. The vacuum actuator is working, the lever is moving and is not loose, as can be seen in the video - in P or N, the car revs only up to 4k RPM. The actuator activates just before reaching 4k, and deactivates once it reaches (as the ECU cuts the power).


I have cleared the error a couple of times using a bluetooth scanner, but it keeps coming back after running for a while.

I have read some threads in here and also in VW Vortex, and I've came up with no idea regarding what might be causing this... Could be a faulty sensor, but many people have changed the sensor or the entire manifold and the error is still there.

Any ideas?

What year Tiguan? We got that code on our 2010 and didn’t notice any drivability issues. Eventually noticed off idle power was a little flat, but that might have due to the intake needing to be cleaned. Changed the manifold, did the intake cleaning and haven’t seen the code again.
Mine is a 2011, same as yours. Where did you buy your manifold, was it online?
