Intake Manifolds for Audi SQ5 (2014-2016) 3.0L Left & Right

Direct-Replacement Intake Manifold Pair for 2014-2016 Audi SQ5 (8R)

What it Does: The Intake Manifolds replace the cracked lower runner assemblies on the 2014-2016 Audi SQ5 to restore proper airflow distribution, clear runner flap fault codes, and eliminate vacuum leaks beneath the supercharger.

The Stock Audi SQ5 Intake Flap Failure

On the supercharged CTUB 3.0 TFSI engine, the factory lower intake manifolds endure intense thermal cycling seated directly beneath the Roots supercharger. Over time, heat-soak embrittles the composite casing and compromises the mechanical integrity of the variable intake tumble flaps. The internal linkage pins wear loose, leading to binding flap shafts, localized vacuum leaks, and recurring diagnostic trouble codes such as P2006 or P2007. Once these runner flaps stick closed or warp, airflow velocity drops unevenly across cylinder banks, inducing rough idling, sluggish off-boost throttle transitions, and misfires under high load.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered to resolve factory degradation points, this direct-fit left and right intake manifold assembly utilizes high-grade, heat-stabilized aluminum and composite construction matching factory tolerances. Each manifold includes pre-installed tumble runner flaps, integrated actuation linkages, and pre-fitted port seals to guarantee an airtight seal against the cylinder head intake ports. Precision-calibrated flap pivots prevent binding under elevated intake manifold pressures, ensuring linear volumetric efficiency throughout the powerband while interfacing seamlessly with factory ECU tumble flap adaptations.

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the 8R SQ5?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2014-2016 Audi SQ5 equipped with the 3.0L TFSI (CTUB) engine. This part is not compatible with 3.0L TDI diesel, 2.0T, or 4.0T engines.

Are calibration adjustments required after installing these manifolds?

Yes, access requires supercharger removal, and intake flap adaptation values must be cleared and relearned via diagnostic scan tool following installation.
