Hi looking for help.ive read a lot on forums abt swirl flap failure and destroying engine does anyone know if 335d has them and if so is it a big job to remove them? Cheers

    Can't confirm if that model has them. What engine is in it? Not a major job, inlet manifold off, fit the blanking kit and then back on.

    Obviously with the manifold off cover the inlet ports up to stop any foreign objects getting down there.
