S8 v10 manifold flaps
Hi Borrys,
If you have access to VCDS, there is a set of tests which "exercise all the flaps and their respective motors. If you also take off the cover on top of the front of the engine ( says v10 s or something) you will see the servo motors and linkages on the front of the inlet manifold. I also had a flaps stuck error code, so I liberally squirted WD40 pinto every pivot point and ran through the exercises a couple of times. Result, code cleared and has not returned. I will have a look tomorrow in the light to get exact details of the test, but it is engine in the right hand list (those you do very carefully because they can mess things up.
I also took the precaution of connecting the battery to my charger whilst doing the tests, in case current draw was large.
Good luck in you try this (at your own risk please)
