WTF is that and WTF does it do?!


4 swirl valves on the 16v 150brake smoker

no3 is powered by an actuator

the bar is connected to all 4 and moves them accordingly, normally the actuator sticks but mine is fine.

the sockets on the bar are worn, and it falls off,  hence the GERMANS making a much improved version, its the same issue on Saabs, Fiats, Pauxhalls, to name a few.

all explained by the joy of google translate from http://www.swirlrepair.com/

 :smiley:

Better buy an actuator aswell Chuff I can foresee two jobs instead of one  :kiss:
