Symptoms of Fault

Check engine light illuminated or flashing, rough idle, decreased fuel economy, reduced acceleration, increased fuel consumption, car going into limp mode, control arm disconnected from intake manifold

The Fault

Carbon build-up causes the swirl flaps to not work efficiently
The intake manifolds on the Volvo 2.4L diesel engines clog up with carbon build-up which causes the swirl flap arm to disconnect from the intake manifold or completely seize, causing an array of issues such as engine lights, limp mode, rough idle and all the other symptoms as listed above.

The Solution

Install the X8R swirl flap blanking kit to prevent carbon build-up and vastly improve airflow
Our X8R swirl flap blanking kit completely removes the swirl flaps and the arm to remove the possibility of the fault occurring again in the future. The removal of the swirl flaps drastically increases the airflow to the engine and improves performance and fuel economy.
The X8R blanks are made from fibre glass reinforced plastic, making them more durable than other swirl flap blanks on the market.
