I have a vw gti mk5 with 118,000 miles on it. I have a aftermarket neuspeed p flo intake. I have changed plugs and coils and pcv valve. I have a air intake leak code coming up and my car sounds like it is going to stall out when it's a cold start. I am not sure what else that it could be. I need help and am new the vw community.

Sounds like a large air leak somewhere

I had some trouble in this area. Same symptoms but I don't know what the codes were.
Some more things to check. The plastic these are made of get brittle with heat and age.

after I bought one (cracked it replacing my cam follower), I read in here that an op used fuel line and worm clamps that worked also. Good luck!

I’m using oil rated German hose on the pcv connection with Aba worm gear clamps, best thing to get rid of flexi-plastic cost cutting crap for longer term solution.
