MY06, BKP, 153k
While the ignition was on for a VCDS autoscan earlier today I heard a loud buzzing coming from under the bonnet. Unfortunately it was the ASV/Intake Manifold Flap motor - I only changed it 30 months / 50k ago with a Pierburg unit which I thought was a decent brand. I disconnected the air inlet and could feel the flap inside vibrating away.
It's not as bad as this one https://youtu.be/T2JlqKihTg8 but I guess it'll get steadily worse before blowing the fuse and showing up in VCDS. At least it's easy to change, but that's another £130 or so gone
