Quite early on with engine system service required do the swirl arm make the car go into limp
As on reading here most run ok with arm disconnected

I took mine in for it's second service (since I've had it) and the dealer have reported the arm was totally missing on mine - a MY2012 D5 200 with 95k (bought at 84k).
My car hasn't gone into limp mode since it's been missing so I've been lucky - it was showing 32mpg when I bought it and I've never been able to get it up past about 29.7mpg for months now even when using V-Power Diesel. I do live in the Moors so put the location down to it but seems I could have been missing the linkage for a long time now and have just gotten used to it.
I'm looking forwards to seeing how much difference it makes when it's all done - should be getting the car back tomorrow at some point with new brake disks too.
