Swirl flap accentuator
Hi i have been told by my saab dealer that the swirl flap mechanism has come adrift on the induction /inlet manifold.Can this be repaired/replaced or do i have to replace the whole manifold as saab say at a cost of £1000 pounds.i havent noticed any decrease in performance or mpg at present,what are the long term problems if i just run it as it is?

hi thanks for your reply,
it is a 1.9 tdi 150. on a 06 plate. there was no fault code,i had taken it in for a main service to saab and they informed me of the problem. when i said that there was no decline in performance they said it maybe that the flaps are stuck open .they said that the mechanic noticed it running a bit lumpy but i havent noticed this maybe im just used to it
look forward to your reply
steve

I can't find anything in Mitchell 1 data base that refers to a swirl flap, so i am not sure what they are referring to, can you get an more info on this?
