Psychil Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Greetings, everyone. I connected the engine and cleared all errors, except for one persistent error related to the swirl flap. Although I have not encountered any issues, it concerns me, and I wish to prevent any problems in the future. What recommendations do you have for me? Is it capable of being cleaned? Is it advisable to delete it? Should I alter it? What are your thoughts? I would like real-time responses, as I am quite stressed at the moment.

markjay Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago It depends on the code associated with the swirls, presuming it is a jammed fault code resulting from movement exceeding limits owing to flap wear. individual preference Some suggest installing a replacement manifold (the aftermarket offers reasonably priced options), while others advocate for the removal of the flaps. I personally remove them from my vehicles. Which engine do you possess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychil Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago I presume it is either obstructed or adhering. Since I am not receiving any alerts on my dashboard, I am uncertain whether I should proceed with inaction. Will it damage my vehicle?

markjay Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago The wear in the flaps will permit the spindle to exceed its limits. The engine type for 2016 may be either N47 or B47. N47 may accommodate a new gasket since the flaps are included; B47 requires a new manifold. Alternatively, there is the option to eliminate flaps.

Psychil Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago I was informed that my BMW specialist could delete it, therefore I presume it is a B47. Does deletion exacerbate the situation in the long term? I have heard it can impact miles per gallon, fuel usage, and other factors. What is your perspective on this, my friend?

Psychil Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago I have heard and read that I can verify the flap turning position via BimmerLink. Is this correct? I possess the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjay Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I have not observed any difference upon deleting the flaps. You can verify the position using live data; but, it will not provide any information beyond what you already know. The flaps are soiled and deteriorated at the spindle passage, causing the motor to operate more without effectively advancing the flaps further. It may still be N47, as both can be eliminated. Input the last seven digits of the chassis number into Realoem to ascertain the engine installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
