the nail kit
The kit is volvo engineered part, so yes only through dealers, its only a few quid (probably one of the cheapest parts youll ever fit to your volvo!) , i would try someone like rufe if you dont have a dealer near you its something they could post easily, just depends how quickly you need it, you can of course do your own thing with something like a bolt or a model aircraft style linkage, but why bother, the volvo solution is perfect, and shouldnt drop off again,, mines been going strong for 25k miles with no issues, but do consider adding a stop for the stepper so that it isnt overloading the linkage when it calibrates every 5th engine off.

OK...I will have a chat with a dealer at some point but as my car is showing no messages, has no flat spots and otherwise is driving fine I wonder if there is a point in getting it fixed?

stuck open?
The throttles are most likely left in the open position when the arm dropped off, if you want to know what they do some info attached, . . i would imagine it will do less mpg, if the throttles move into the closed position you might notice more of a difference..

Hi All,
Congrats for your very useful info and comments re the swirl arm thing. I had a "engine system service required" message on my wife's 2008 XC90 D5 and going through your threats i managed to at least find where this thing on the engine. Swirl arm apparently is on, no sign of it falling apart and it does move fully back and forth when switching on/off. What i noticed when switching off the engine is a prolonged high pitch sound coming from exactly the swirl motor area, which stops after a few seconds...any ideas??? |

Swirl Linkage Missing
I also have a xc90 d5 with a missing swirl linkage. It does not seem to be causing any issues other than the dash warning(I have ordered a replacement linkage). But the main thing I am most concerned about is that there is a build up of oil on the area where the swirl linkage connects to the head. Is this normal considering the linkage is missing? All the other pics I have seen are free of oil in that area.
My other concern is, the bit that connects from the head to the linkage bar is missing. I have circled the bit that is missing on mine. What is this part called? |

Looks as though the part is called the swirl linkage "butterfly". Mine is totally missing. I can see and turn the metal pin/rod that connects to the swirl flaps in the head.
Is there a fix for this? I have a replacement linkage arm but nothing to connect it too. All of the other post have had the butterfly bit to connect too. Im worried it will require the entire swirl flaps to be replaced. Anyone know if you can buy this and connect the "butterfly" bit to the swirl flap rod? |
