Swirl flaps, warranty?
Is a broken swirl arm covered under warranty? Car done 68k on an 06, i heard someone say that beyond 205 it can be warranty?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking here. What do you mean by 205?
As for the Swirl flaps is it the plastic arm that has broken ( very common and and easy DIY fix ) or is it the quadrant that goes into the cylinder head and operates the swirl arms themselves?

Hank,
if you've recently bought this car from a reputable dealer, with a warranty, you could try and get a repair done. However, if, as i suspect you've bought it private and are asking if you would get a Volvo warranty repair done. the answer is a simple, no. The swirl flap arm is a known issue, with a simple repair IF you can confirm the flaps themselves are not carboned up. I notice from your other posts you are suffering from DPF issues, and I suspect, again, your swirl flap issues maybe part of that cause. The flaps are naturally floppy. they have no resistance to them. The only way to tell if they are coked up is to remove the intake etc. If you know your flaps are still operating then have a look at swirl arm repair posts on this forum. It can be quiet a simple fix. If not, then your going to need to spend approx a couple of hundred on parts (swirl flaps, gaskets, arm, may as well do the crank shaft oil seal, new copper washers for the injectors etc etc, and the same on labour to get this repaired. Once its done, fit an L shaped bracket, with a rubber bump stop to SLIGHTY limit the full return of the swirl arm, so as not to over stretch itself. This will prevent it pulling off again. many have done this, and indeed I have over 20k miles ago, with no further issue and the swirl flap remains on and functional. |
