A4 tdi p2015 fault code

[b13jus]

I've bought a 2008 audi a4 tdi from a friend that has a p2015 fault code on it. It also has the engine management like on but drives ok.
He had it to a garage and they were surprised to fix it but haven't.
It looks like they fitted a new throttle body.
Any ideas on this problem??

Where abouts is the flap in the manifold?
Is there any pictures available of the flap and motor?
Is it what looks like a throttle body or is it inside the manifold it self?

I've just replaced this exact part on my b8 cost me €435 euros for the part from Audi like yours emissions light on but no loss in power car drove perfectly seems to be the little square bit at the end the sensor that goes in them common enough I think as that was the second one they had sold that day and the parts guy correctly guessed an 08 car maybe this was sorted on later years

This sounds the same as I fault I had with MY2008 A4 TDI a few months ago but in my case there was a marked reduction in power

The fault was diagnosed by my local dealer to be V157 intake manifold flap motor.
The motor was replaced at a cost of £457.52.

It could have already had a motor fitted??
This is the new part
