Swirl flaps fell off mine ttid 08 103k on clock and stuffed both turbos and 12 valves. Some many pounds later .. head rework, two new turbos, back on the road.
Not the best moment of my motoring carrer ��
 
Hi there, yes after my little engine trouble it was decided that the swirl flaps would be blanked off. The type used on mine and recommended was the ones that are glue welded into position. Further more I do believe that the car had to then be plugged in and reprogrammed. I can assure you that this does not cause any issues with performance at all.
It was a disaster kez lol with no previous warning noises other than the sound of a bomb going off under the bonnet.
My advice Raj if in doubt rip them out or you will always be on the look out.......what a poet.
