Listen up buddy, last time my car also threw a P2015 code and gave me a headache for days. This code means the intake manifold flap is stuck closed, most likely due to a failed actuator motor or vacuum leak. The EA888 engines in VW/Audi are particularly prone to this issue - you'll notice the throttle response gets sluggish and fuel consumption shoots up. If you're handy, pop the hood and check the black plastic box near the firewall - chances are the flap connecting rod has snapped. As a temporary fix you can manually move it to the fully open position, but you should replace it with the upgraded part ASAP, otherwise the incorrect air-fuel mixture could damage your catalytic converter.
