P2006 error - coil and EML light came on, limp mode, but now cleared?

[YorkshireCali]

I'm not having much luck currently - I seem to fix one problem and then another appears.

On Friday I popped out in the van for a short trip - 8 miles or so. Stopped for 10 mins, and when I started the van to drive home the coil light came on and the van went into limp mode. I made it home, by which point the EML light was also on.

Plugged a cheapo OBD scanner in and had the following error "P2006 Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed Bank 1a"

I've googled this and it seems to be a generic code, and I really need to hooking up to VDCS for diagnostics (it's booked into a van centre for Thursday). I read one post suggesting that the inlet manifold needed replacing ££££

On Sunday - coil light had gone, no limp mode, but EML still on.

This morning, no lights on at all, not in limp mode and all appears to be normal again - drives fine.

The van has been in 2 garages during the last 3 weeks - once for water pump and cam belt, then VW for a service and DSG oil change.

I'm hoping it's as simple as a knocked or faulty sensor but knowing my look, it'll be worse case!

some reading and possible causes

Thanks Perfectos - I guess there are so many possibilities for these kinds of problems that I'll just have to wait until it goes into the garage. The waiting / not knowing is the worst part!!

Part number of the connector : possible issue , but the cheapest / easiest to eliminate from the equation

 

[YorkshireCali]

Ahh thanks Perfectos

Running the vehicle with a faulty connector will throw up the EML and potentially put it into limp mode.

Please check the part is correct for your vehicle before purchasing on my info !

Everythings going wrong! EGR pipes and sticking inlet manfold flap valves link?

Hi all, first time poster but quickly getting used to garage bills and reading this forum! So I bought my 2016 T6 a few months ago. I discovered the rear egr pipe was split so replaced it. I then started to get an eml with the P2006 intake manifold runner control stuck closed bank 1A code. I...

Latest update. Local van centre cleared the codes (there were several) and asked me to drive it until I experienced a problem again.

Shortly after picking the van up from the garage, I was pulling away from stationary and the engine was really rough, only for a few seconds, and it cleared and was OK again. I drove home 15 miles without an issue.

Later that evening, the coil light came on but the van drove fine. After leaving the van for a while, the light vanished and all was OK again.

I decided to buy a Carista and have been running a few tests today.

I have noticed that every time stop/start kicks in, if stopped for more than around 45 seconds, I get the error 15560 EGR Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance. I've cleared the code and tested it around half a dozen times - the code reappears so I think is consistent.

However the van has run fine during the day and no lights on the dash. If didn't have Carista, I wouldn't know there was something going on.

I've done a lot of reading today and found one post which has my current symptoms - 15560 error after a long stop / start but van seems to run OK. Unfortunately the post doesn't say what the fix was but he was suggesting he may replace the EGR:

Fault code 15560 p046c00

Hello everyone, I have this engine failure, I have taken it to the mechanic and he says that I have to change the EGR. The car works perfectly for me. The errors are: 15560 p046c00 ( sensor A failure). Thanks!!!

I believe the EGR sends exhaust gas into the intake manifold. The original error I had from a basic code reader was P2006 Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed Bank 1a.

Now I'm seeing 15560 EGR Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance (and one occurrence of the van running rough at low revs), I'm wondering if it could be the EGR that's suspect, and over a period of time, it results in the intake manifold error.

Is this plausible or am I way off? I'll admit I'm not mechanically minded, I'm just trying to piece this together logically.

EGR 15560 Code

Hello, Gave my van a quick scan earlier using carista and noticed the code 15560 showing, so had a quick google and up pops EGR - last thing I wanted! Anyway nothing specifically points directly to what the issue is, I had a quick look under the bonnet to see how difficult it would be to...
