Thanks for the replies.

Had a good look, it's definitely not the stock plastic swirl arm.

Re: End bushes. Agree, the majority of the gunk is by the swirl arm, however there are traces of it along the entire front of the manifold, including a major build up on the right hand side (visible in image).

I'll change the gasket just in case. I'm of two minds as to whether to replace the swirl flaps themselves or use sv70s suggestion of using a high temp quality sealant (@sv70 which sealant did you use?).

If I get the flaps from Volvo, will they take it back if they remain in the packaging?
