I don't actually know how long this has been like this for, but it caught my attention today. I did notice when I touched it at closer inspection that it was quite oily, so I can only presume that as it isn't connected that the flaps aren't actually doing anything? 1. Is this a major issue that needs to be fixed ASAP? 2. The car seems to be running fine, but what effect does this have not actually being connected? 3. The connecting rod looks like a cheap bit of plastic if I'm being honest. I'm wondering if there's some kind of cheap service kit that you can buy, or are there any DIY tricks that you may know of to attach the rod again? My car is a P3 2007 S80 2.4 D (163bhp) if that helps. __________________ 2007 S80 2.4 D5 - 110,000 miles Last edited by Kev0607; Jan 18th, 2020 at 18:46.
