1890 : swirl actuator control - jammed. 1870 :swirl actuator control - negative drift. 1880 : swirl actuator control faulty signal. Getting these 3 codes on the Topdon code reader and nothing else that could be related to a clogged up intake. No EGR or Airflow or boost pressure codes. Engine power is good, everything around the swirl flaps is dry so they arent leaking out boost and I can move them by hand fairly easy they are a bit stiff BUT it feels like the good kind of stiff where you know thats the rubber seals on the shaft are doing ther job. I dont know how they are supposed to feel though they could be clogged up with soot and crap for all I know. The actuator appears to be working: It moves when starting the engine and when I put pressure on the lever arm with my finger I can feel the actuator motor working against me to keep the position. So I think the actuator is working correctly. People say I should just disconnect the lever and lock the flaps between 1/2 open and fully open position and leave the actuator disconnected, delete all faults and just drive around normally when the faults dont come back the swirl flaps are getting jammed up when the codes come back the actuator is defective. I will also open the big intake hose and see how bad its clogged with soot from the EGR. I will not do the swirl flap job anyways no way the car isnt worth bringing it to a mechanic because thats 500-1000€ for all this work im sure and im not doing this myself, pulling the injectors and taking the valve cover off no way.

thank you for this video. if there is black residue in the inlet holes (beside injectors) or at the swirl flap should i clean this or will scrap fall down in the engine? is the air going from the center of the engine to the front (flaps, egr) or is the air coming in at the front?

You can clean it and blow it out with a airgun, but be sure the valve is closed of which valve youre cleaning.

Hi Nicholas good video i'm in the same dilemma with my 2010 XC90 200ps D5 ie when i bought it the swirl actuator rod was disconnected the flaps move freely so i reconnected the rod. But my dilemma is instead of removing the flaps which i am not confident to do myself would it do any harm to just secure the arm in the flap open position?

Thanks!! You can try it and see if it gives any fault codes. I think it does not harm.

I believe if you leave the flaps open, you won't get boost pressure. The actuator arm broke on mine and the flaps got stuck open; car wouldn't have any throttle response over 2k rpm. Would struggle to get to 40mph.

Hey! Thanks for your comments :) I got the parts from my local parts shop. But if you have the VIN number you should be able to find it on autodoc too.

is this the reason why my S80 was having poor acceleration after driving it a few miles until i turned the car off. after i let it cool down was driving normaly again. but now the car has poor acceleration always. it doesn't come to normal acceleration. should i clean the egr ? i have no errors lights. Thanks!
@MechaNick_ Жыл бұрын
Hey! Theres much causes. Could be the egr, could be swirl flaps, turbo leak... You can always check the swirl flaps by pulling of the little actuator rod and checking if they can turn. Also you might want to get your injectors tested.

If the swirl flaps were free but the link arm was worn allowing it to fall off, why didn’t you just replace the link arm with the modified link arm from Volvo?

@@MechaNick_ If it’s just a code you can read with Vida it won’t matter. If there is a bit more air into the piston by keeping them open it will make up for the restrictions caused by the massive amount of carbon deposits in the intake due to the EGR! Vdash doesn’t offer a tuning option for swirl flap removal but maybe there are other tunes which do. I think a bit of experimentation would help first.
