Having what I think may he an issue with the manifold swirl flaps. I have recently noticed that the car seems abit reluctant on acceleration so thought I'd check all the usual suspects and whilst checking the manifold flap operation I noticed the bar wasn't moving at all when I rev the engine . Once the car cooled I managed to get my hand round and under the egr cooler and felt around the bar is connected and all looks ok when I checked using a mirror . Odd thing is when the car was cold and I started it the bar moves freely back and forth as I rev the engine .once hot it stops again now I was of the assumption it should operate regardless of engine temp and wondered if anyone could enlighten me as to the sensor that dictates it opening and closing as no cel lights present . Maybe just an out of whack sensor or something I hope someone has an idea or can tell me it's perfectly normal.
