Golf Mk 6 TDi - 2.0 fault code - truly stumped
Discussion
Hello,
We've owned above car since new in 2009. Now 110k miles. EML came on a while ago and our local Indy checked - code suggested inlet manifold flap was not functioning as required. The inlet flaps have a history of over rotating due to wear hence the fault code.
Replaced inlet and not long after the EML came on again - same code. Suggestion was that the electric motor that operates the flap may be faulty. Replaced the motor and low and behold, EML comes on but a different fault code - suggesting there is a blockage of sorts.
The Indie is currently checking the wiring loom but they are out of ideas.
The car drives 100% otherwise.
Any thoughts where we could go next? I checked all fuses in the engine bay - they look fine.
Please help!
Thanks

So it suggested the inlet flaps were not working....so were they tested before replacement ?We've owned above car since new in 2009. Now 110k miles.

And I'd expect if there was an electric motor for these...the code would indeed be different from the first code ? So what exactly was the code ?
And again, was operation of the motor tested prior to replacement ?
There would be little reason to suspect wiring loom if they had tested the motor. Or if the fault light takes a while to come on, then it might be less likely a wiring fault, than if the light were on permanently.
Test the components operation via the fault scanner and go from there.
