Technical Background
The new Generation III TDI engines have an exhaust flap that is welded into the exhaust pipe assembly. If faults
for the flap electronics are stored, it is not necessary to replace the complete pipe. Replacement electronics
components are available.
Note:
As an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive part, the actuator must be removed from the ESD bag and handled
in an ESD safe area.
If the actuator has been dropped on the floor, it must be scrapped.
