Dealer said is is a carboned up exhaust flap valve, covered but I hope this is not something to look forward to. Anyone else get this yet?

Great. I had no idea diesels were such messy creatures. Looking at the pictures of the thread in the 101 section intake, and damnnn!

A carboned up exhaust flap valve, how is that even possible since the exhaust flap sits well behind the DPF which actually traps any soot, etc. that the engine is producing??
As for clogged intakes, I'm not going to say that the CBEAs don't/won't have issues with this, but the amount of time it will take for the intakes to clog up will be exponentially longer than the ALHs and the other TDIs that are prone to intake clogging.

Why did the dealer give you a "P" code? They should have something a little more VW specific..

That was all they noted on the invoice. Part is on order $450 but will be covered. Just hope this is not something I will have to look forward to every 20k miles

No just the CEL. I was 2 days from my 20k service so when I went in I told them to have a look. Still waiting on the part.

Mine was replaced around 10k, first an awful creaking noise after shutdown, few days later a cel.
No power loss or any other symptoms.

Is it the flapper halfway back on the exhaust?

Just had my 09' at the dealer with the same problem (26K miles)
No power loss just an intermittent MIL light.
Code was: P048C
Just got back from the dealer with the same problem. They cleared the code and said all was OK but when they pulled the car around for me it came back on. The dealer listed a different code (P0481) than what I got on VCDS (P048C). I think they made a typo since they spelled out the exhaust flap on exhaust. Won't be able to get it fixed until next year. Dealer says it's OK to drive till then. I hope? I can hear the exhaust flap making the creaking noise after shut down.

When they discovered mine I think they hit it with some CRC and sent me down the road while we waited for the part. I drove 1000 miles up to MD and the CEL came back on. So I think your ok to drive it,

Should be covered under emissions warranty for 80k. Yes?

51500 Miles and Just got the P048C code as well.
Well, I pulled in to eat dinner on my birthday, and guess what surprise I got when I turned the key after coming out? I stopped by Advance Auto and pulled the code, and it is the same one. Is this covered under the 80K emissions warranty? Sure hope so if it will be $450 for the part...

Take it to a dealer and see what they tell you.
