Subject: Intake Manifold Limited Warranty Extension – Revised
to include Certain 2012 Model Year Volkswagen
Vehicles Equipped with 2.0 TFSI Engines (Engine
Codes CBFA and CCTA)
(US Dealers)

Date: Jan. 13, 2015
This document modifies the
Volkswagen Warranty Policies
and Procedures Manual.

Intake Manifold Limited Warranty Extension
Volkswagen has extended the Emissions Control Systems Warranty for the intake manifold under specific
conditions to 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s original in-service date,
for certain 2008 – 2012 Model Year Volkswagen 2.0 TFSI Engine vehicles with engine codes CBFA and
CCTA.
Certain states have voluntarily adopted California-mandated emissions warranties only for vehicles
equipped to meet California’s Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) emissions requirements. These
vehicles can be identified by inspecting the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label located under the
hood. Because of this, the owner of a vehicle equipped to meet California’s PZEV emissions
requirements living in one of these states may have warranty rights that exceed the extended warranty
offering described in this bulletin. Owners should refer to the warranty information that came with their
vehicle for additional details as to whether or not this applies to their vehicle.
The vehicle’s original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the original
purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a “demonstrator” or
“company” car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service.
This warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners.

What is the Problem
Volkswagen has determined that, under specific conditions, a faulty intake manifold may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster to illuminate due to the presence of specific
fault codes caused by this component.
The MIL is part of the on-board diagnostic system. Please refer to the owner’s manual for additional
information about the MIL. In some locales, an illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp could cause the
vehicle to fail an IM emissions inspection, and the vehicle registration application could be denied.
Please be aware that other conditions (unrelated to the issue described in this bulletin) may cause the MIL
in the vehicle to illuminate. Customers should be prepared to cover all diagnosis and repair costs for
these other, unrelated conditions.
