Car - 2008 Audi S5 4.2 FSI (CAUA)



So im currently in the midst of my first intake manifold out job to replace 3 fuel injectors and do a walnut carbon cleaning and ran into trouble removing the manifold and the intake manifold actuator broke in the front as well as the coolant hose to the back of the manifold by the throttle body and was looking for some advice/help on how to get my car back together as I have replaced the injectors already and just need to do the carbon cleaning and put it all back together. As for the coolant hose im most likely going to replace the entire part from rockauto shown below with the red circle for $60 and then im coming here for advice on the actuator because id rather not spend the $200 to buy a new one and not know how to install that either.



TLDR: broke my intake manifold actuator while removing IM and need to fix before reinstalling, do i have to buy whole new actuator for $200?

Unless you know how to "weld" those two plastic pieces back together, seems like a new unit is how it comes. Looks like the OEM unit (Pierburg 7.00941.19.0) can be found down to $200 new. But local seems to be more $260. That assumes anyone has it in stock. You could always try yards, but that electric control mechanism was only used through Nov '08 (so MY08 and early MY09).

Hey man, thanks for the reply! i ended up looking closer at it yesterday and took it apart as well as the back throttle body thing and took them both off and ordered new parts, sadly im now $280 over budget after that haha. but thats how it goes. gets shipped tomorrow!
