Just make sure you nip-up the bolts before page two, but don’t actually announce this fact, until at least page 5……… And if you dupe a mod into getting “involved” bonus points 😉
In general, Volkswagen AG (VAG) are very shyte at dealing with issues not resolved during development.
In my experience, unless absolutely called out and forced to do so, then while VAG will become aware of an issue, they typically remain silent and rely on customers to report back after which VAG “may” fix, on an individual basis.
This is a much cheaper strategy for VAG, than to roll out region wide network TSBs to fix, x,y,z, whenever an effected vehicle roles into a dealership.
Other OEMs use the TSB system in a much more ethical manner, where they will notify dealerships to carry out rectification when a car comes in. Quite often, customer will have no idea the OEM has carried out any additional, corrective work. Imo, this is how the TSB system should be operated.
With regard to this particular issue. As others have indicated, it’s a known problem. VAG is hoping drivers discover this, at their own expense.
While not being familiar with the specific design of the intake hose system on the OP’s unspecified vehicle. Is it not possible to deploy jubilee clips to compress the hose ends against their adjoining parts?…
