Swirl Flap Removal

Many car manufacturers now have a piece of technology that causes a swirl in the cylinder to "aid in combustion" of the fuel delivered which is a fantastic idea in theory however there is one crucial design flaw in this idea and this is that the metal flap along with it's steel pivot pin can become loose and get ingested by the engine causing damage to the pistons, cylinder bores and cylinder head.

Most people don't even know they're fitted until it's too late!

We now offer a removal service for BMWs from 2000 onwards with the M47 2.0l Diesel and M57 3.0 Diesel engines (this does not apply to LandRovers or Rovers with the same engines as they did not have swirl flaps fitted)

Please see the pictures below:

  A close call for this 130,000 mile E39

and this 2006 E60 has a new lease of life!  

 

The damage that can be caused is catastrophic to the piston, injector and cylinder head as shown below
