Hi all,
Just after an answer from the technical gurus out there
Had the EPC light come on twice the last fortnight, got it diagnosed & it's showing Manifold flap Valve sticking (sporadic).
Does anyone know what my options are? Turning the car off resets the EPC light. Am going to be away for a few months so was looking at getting the car fully serviced for my return ie all fluids, plugs etc. I was even thinking of getting a Carbon clean done as well.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks

Carbon clean if your lucky or vac leak at best
Otherwise modify manifold and remap circa £1200
New manifold from audi circa £2100
Maybe no one else wanted it give you the bad news
