530d swirl flaps
Well after speaking to a garage i may be striking a deal on a 530d tourer sport in a couple of weeks....
Happy days but I keep hearing horror stories about swirlflaps ruining engines.
Does anyone know anyone in the north east area who removes them and does removing them effect the way the car drives at all?
Many thanks

Do it yourself mate! Very easy........
Also an opportunity to clean out inlet and EGR valve.
Done mine and has made no difference to performance or economy

Team HOTHOT!
E39 shape - only vehicles with an automatic gearbox have swirl flaps on the inlet manifold. Manual gearbox vehicles do not.
E60/61 - All gearbox types have the engine with swirl flap inlet manifold.
