Intake manifold flap actuator
Intake manifold flap actuator – choose by part number
This category contains used intake manifold flap actuators, the motors that move the flaps inside the intake manifold. They are a different part from a throttle body – throttle bodies are in the throttle body category.
Choose the actuator by the full number on the label, e.g. 059129086M, 059129086D or the manufacturer number A2C… The car model alone is not enough, because different manifold and actuator versions were used in the same cars.

What does an intake manifold flap actuator do?
Many engines have flaps inside the intake manifold that change the path or swirl of the air flowing into the cylinders. The actuator moves these flaps, while the engine control unit decides when they should open or close.
Symptoms of a faulty actuator or flaps
- engine warning light and an intake manifold flap fault code stored in the engine control unit,
- weaker engine response at low revs,
- seized flaps – often caused by deposits in the manifold, so it is worth checking the manifold itself when replacing the actuator.
Frequently asked questions
| What is the difference between an intake manifold flap actuator and a throttle body? |
|---|
| The throttle body controls the amount of air at the entrance of the intake system, while the actuator moves the flaps inside the manifold. They are different parts and are not interchangeable. |
| How do I choose the right actuator? |
| Compare the full number on the label of your actuator with the numbers given in the listing. If the number is hard to read, send us a photo of the label. |
| Does anything need to be programmed after replacement? |
| In some cars an adaptation is carried out or fault codes are cleared with a diagnostic tool after replacement – this depends on the vehicle manufacturer. |
