VAGCom - First Scan

So bought a VagCom thought it would be a good thing to have. Still looking at the available changes I can make but having a 'Euro' spec model seems to suggest a good number of things are 'on' by default.

However upon doing a scan I came across the following. Any suggestions or input? I did take a look at the RossTech site and they have a number of possibilities but wanted to hear from you guys what tend to be the most likely culprit and solution.

Thanks

Looks like the intake manifold needs to be replaced. You should be covered by extended warranty for the part.

Thanks for the reply zrickety. I don't know about that considering (1) i am not the original owner and (2) the car was not bought in South Africa (it was imported in). However i could be completely wrong whether it can apply to my situation.

Any suggestions whether i should go stock or after market? (i understand if i go after market i will need the RFD tune or i'll get some codes flying).

Unless it's a race car build, just buy the revised manifold.
