MKE100102L - Inlaatspruitstukmotor

The intake manifold motor drives the variable induction system (VIS) on the Freelander 1 2.5 KV6 petrol engine. Mounted on the upper inlet manifold, it switches the intake tract between long and short runners, favouring longer runners at low revs for torque and shorter runners higher up for airflow. The engine management system controls it.

This intake manifold motor fits the Freelander 1 (1996-2006) with the 2.5 KV6 petrol engine and automatic transmission, per its fitment data. The VIS setup is specific to the KV6 V6 petrol induction system, so confirm your engine type with the VIN before ordering.

The intake manifold motor typically fails when the VIS valves stick or the motor's internal gears wear. That usually shows up as a flat spot in the KV6's power delivery or a stored fault code for the variable intake system, affecting either low-speed torque or top-end pull depending on which runner position sticks.

The intake manifold motor can typically be replaced at home with basic hand tools, since it sits externally on the upper inlet manifold of the KV6. You'll usually need to unplug the electrical connector and remove a few fasteners. Clearing a stored intake fault code afterwards usually needs a diagnostic tool.
