[@1976wong]

Excellent, very well done. Thank you.

[@focusmicro]

I am going to remove my inlet manfold next week and clean it, just clean it! :D

[@user-fn4dn3di4i]

So if the shaft is removed what stops air from being drawn in from the next gallery or does it not matter ?

[@chewybacchus5918]

I do not think it matters as they a fed by a common void just prior to the shaft holes. The pressure should be reasonably balanced

[@Kanwar2611]

What happens when I remove them? Then the exhaust can go into the engine without a regulation? Right?

[@redrock1963]

No. The "swirl flaps" regulate the volume of air going into the engine. The exhaust gas going into the inlet manifold is regulated by the EGR valve (Exhaust Gas Regulator valve - deleting this is desirable but not related to this procedure). It needs to be noted that the swirl flaps act to restrict air flow at lower RPM which is compensated by the programming in the ECU. Removing the Swirl Flaps without compensating (remapping the ECU) will cause a lose of torque (power) at low RPM. This is due to the over supply of air - it will in effect "bog down". For us older blocks, this can be compared to having a carburetor that is under jetted in the primary jets where the air restriction is a fixed size. In this case the swirl flaps provide a variable air restriction and vary the air flow to match the RPM which provides the optimum torque and performance. Removing them IS NOT a good idea.

Hi. I used your product in my garage many times but after always have problems with dtc codes about actuator arm resting position. Do you have any solution for this problem? Thanks

[@jamesward5721]

put the actuator linkage arm on - it moves the resting position by about 3-4mm back within range. When I remove the swirl flaps, I cut the rod with a small grinder, leaving the "end pivot" in place so the linkage can still be fitted normally to both the actuator & the "rod". I cut the rod into 4 short pieces so each can slide out (rod carrier removed from intake manifold, it just clips on). I use a grinder because the rod is tough as old boots - good luck cutting it with a snips.

Hallo, wir hatten noch keinen Kunden, der sagte, er müsse den Fehlercode auskodieren. Es sollte von selbst verschwinden. - Georgina, X8R Ltd

how do i know which kit to buy as their are a few different ones an i’m not sure if my engine is n47 i have a e92 coupe 320d 2007

Hi, please email us your VIN or Reg and we can look up what manifold you have. [e-mail]

What problem sympyoms are u faxing, i have the same car

[@TheLoneRanger1992]

X8R Ltd i found it now an took them out so i need to delete them computer aswell or not i don’t have any codes come uo

[@mrbants8614]

If there is no evidence that the swirl flaps or the motor are likely to fail, given your engine, wouldn't it be better to just clean the swirl flaps? I understand that you get minimal torque loss at low RPM but the inefficiency in combustion, the need for an ECU remap and the increase in emissions seems like a bad trade-off if you're unlikely to get a failure anyway. If you do have historical swirl flap issues with your engine model, I'm sure there is likely to be replacement parts that have superior engineering to replace your swirl flap or motor no?

[@Kpitanu14]

Shut up if u don't know shit. They do brake, and u don t need a remap if u delete them.

[@E30_Sunny]

Good video cheers

[@leadster88]

Question....after removing the flaps and fitting this kit, will I lose any torque in lower revs please? Thanks.

[@kingstonbe]

leadster88 I’ve the same problem with a different kit on my 330d

Hello mate I have bmw 520d gt 2012 f07 can you please tell me if that's the kit I need?

[@Haroonayub70]

My BMW Series 1 Hasn't Got Swirl flap 😊

[@Dan84Ire]

Hello! Could you tell me if the flaps are installed in the engines N57 (BMW 430d (2015))? Is it possible to upgrade the flaps as aluminium parts? If I delete the flaps, is it possible to do something in the software from the engine? Is it possible that I get some failure if I delete the flaps? I ask because I am thinking that the engine becomes different values of the air about deleting the flaps. Thanks in advance! Danijel

[@X8RLtdUK]

Hi there, we recommend getting in touch with us directly with your reg & VIN to see if our kit is applicable. Thanks - Georgina, X8R Ltd

Is this the same one found on a 2014 bmw 328d?

Hi, Where can I get this rubber Oring (grommet) that is used on the rod shaft? Show in the video at 3:20 mins. Thank you. Or any dimensions of this grommet. Thanks

[@kdzenins]

did you find it?

[@zeshanhussain1715]

@@kdzenins I thought it was just the seal leaking but when I took it off the rod had snapped. So had to get a new manifold with swirl flaps. The grommet was a hard bush. Let me find the size and get back to you on it

[@kdzenins]

@@zeshanhussain1715thanks! I am going through this now, was wondering if anybody had swapped the oring. New intake is like 210€

[@kingstonbe]

Will the actuator arm not hit the metal plug when it moves?

[@VexedmanGaming]

That's why you remove it I'm guessing

[@Kpitanu14]

U have to remove the linkage
