Did you clean the air valves, or were they that clean when you opened it up? Ours was so sooty that about 50% of each chamber inlet was gone, throwing it into Limp mode and coking up the swirl valve until they failed. Just put her back together but now she's not starting.... tedious
Hi there my arm keep falling of swirl flap flap as worn over time and makes car . Is it true if I keep the swirl flaps wedged open will the car still run ok thanks
Only ever get the kit from Volvo main dealer. It comes with a rubber seal and liquid gasket and all you need. For around 120 quid. It's not a cheap job labour wise though so only worth it if your doing the job yourself as a d5 will run forever without the flaps working as long as they are held open. I've got 1 d5 that's had them open for lest 80,000 miles of 342, 673 miles and it's fine.
@@cooperwilliams4686 I have the same problem with the swirl flaps as you in your previous video. You say that it will run fine as long as they stay open.. How do I get them to stay? I get error every time the arm are failing. Now I have just fixed it with steel wire
@@pivo1357 They are open when the arm is pushed back. You can see this in videos on RUclips. I just pushed it back and then wedged an old Allen key between the head and the arm. Unfortunately I will pop up with a fault now and again but the fault doesn't effect running or performance. As I buy these to run to 4000000 miles and scap them I don't have to worry about codes for resale. To replace the flaps involves removing the injectors and on high mileage engines the risk of damaging them is high and the expense is very high so its really not worth it. I replaced them on my last car but haven't bothered on my latest one or my wife's and they are fine

I cleaned air channels as much as possible. Swirl flaps repaced with new ones. Limp mode problem i hadnt before and after swirl change...
I did this and its one messy job! Nasty stuff
Yes, i agree.
What products did you use to clean?
Brake cleaner was the most effective.
@@martinjev00 Do you remember cover screw tightening torque? Value?

In my case, when arm was off, tehere was absolutely no change in engine work. No power loss, no error codes. Engine worked nicely with arm off.
For me it generated some trouble codes. Cant remember specific codes, but popped off many times and same codes appeared.
Where did get the parts, and did you change the gasket as well?
