SpaceTourer engine light power loss

The engine light came on pretty quickly after the problems started, maybe within a day or so. As for the idle, it does seem a little rougher than usual, almost like it's struggling slightly. Was your issue definitely the manifold flap? And if so, how was it diagnosed?

Yep, sounds like the same thing. Mine was diagnosed at a workshop. They said the switch intake manifold control was defective. It's probably best to get it checked out properly; messing with the intake system without knowing what you're doing can cause more problems than it solves.

Thanks for the info! I took it to a local workshop and they confirmed it was the intake manifold flap control. Repair cost me 465€, but at least it's sorted now.

I had something similar happen with my SpaceTourer. Reduced power and rough running sound familiar. Did the engine light come on immediately, or did it take a while? Also, did you notice any change in how the car sounds at idle?
