Hi, all had my car read yesterday, and I've got code p3138 which is variable intake manifold, switchover valve; regulation difference. Has anybody had this fault before and could shed some light on it for me please? I've had the glow plug light flashing that's why I had the codes read.

Got some PCV hoses and an oil filter/cooler housing to replace which I need to remove the plastic upper inlet manifold to do. On every other car I've worked on, this has been a fairly simple task but this looks like a right pig – I can't work out how I can remove it without taking the whole front bumper off and removing the radiator?! I've downloaded the Haynes manual which is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Am I missing something? I don't want to have to pay a VAG independent to do something that should be fairly simple but is this beyond possibility doing it on my driveway?!

Hi guys, By the way this is my first post. I would like some help please, I have removed the air intake manifold and cleaned all the carbon mug inside the unit. My question is what position are the swirl flaps inside the manifold with the actuator vacuum bolted to the manifold. The metal control arm that opens and closes the flaps with the actuator vacuum has broken off. I plan is to use quick steel epoxy putty on the piece to hold it in place. Will the flaps been closed or opened when I use quick steel putty to bond the arm to the flap rod? In that picture 2 is the metal piece I need to attach to the rod for the flaps to open or close inside the manifold. I'm assuming actuator vacuum unit is bolted back onto the manifold the flaps are in the closed position I just need clarification this is correct?
