Intake Manifold Vacuum Valve Membrane — VW / Audi 3.6L | OEM 03H133201AE
Fix the Torn Intake Manifold Membrane for $25 — Not $600 for a New Manifold.
A common failure on VW and Audi 3.6L engines is a torn vacuum valve membrane inside the intake manifold geometry regulator. When it tears, the variable intake geometry stops functioning — causing rough idle, loss of low-end torque, and fault codes.
The VAG dealer's answer is to replace the entire intake manifold assembly for ~$600 plus labor. This silicone membrane replaces only the torn component — restoring full intake geometry function for a fraction of the cost.
What's Included
- 1x silicone vacuum valve membrane (1020947S01 / 10 209 47 S01)
Important: This is the membrane only — not a full repair kit. Verify your intake manifold OEM number is 03H133201AE before ordering. The membrane must match the manifold number as it is not sold separately by VAG.

FAQ
Q: What happens when this membrane tears?
A: The intake manifold geometry regulator loses vacuum — causing fault codes, rough idle, and reduced low-end torque. The engine runs but performance suffers noticeably.
Q: Is this a full repair kit or membrane only?
A: Membrane only. If your manifold number is 03H133201AE, this membrane is all you need. No actuator or additional parts required for a standard membrane replacement.
