I think I worked out the position by observing the actuator at idle and then setting the actuator arm in the opposite position.
Based on this paragraph from the article posted above.
"The throttles are closed during idling and then open steplessly up to an engine speed of approx.
3000 rpm. At an engine speed above 3000 rpm the throttles are open."

I may have it wrong, but I have never had an alert and although the engine rarely goes above 3000 rpm I do tow a caravan which often requires a fare bit of throttle.

Hi. When I took the intake manifold off my d5 to clean the swirl flaps as they were stuck, I checked which way the open and closed position would be and it seems that the fully open position would be with the bit pushed right down. Now I'm not sure if they're all the same but mine is 2005 s60 d5 185

You could be waiting a while for an answer.
Quick tip...... Check when the post was made and when the member was last online.

I wasn't waiting for an answer. I was simply putting a comment as this thread came up when I was searching for some answers. Maybe it will help someone else who might have the same car with similar issues

Not a good idea to remove them as they play a part in the DPF regeneration process.
