Xc90 swirl arm
Hi All
I have a 2007 xc90 d5. At 50k the swirl arm came off .Replaced and at 60k came off again ! Looking at the old arm I noticed it was covered in oil from the cover above . A common leak I'm told The oil seemed to have caused the seat on the arm to soften I have put a new arm on with a good dob of silicon grease on the arm cups I'm hoping the silicone will protect the cup from the effects of engine oil .It also provides lubrication Time will tell if it helps this problem ! Cheers Pete |

Xc 90 swirl arm
I Have now added a limit bracket ( see pic )
I am using a plastic nut as the stop because I thought rubber has too much give And need to stop the travel reliably One thought ,I wonder if we need to limit the travel the other way as when it calibrates it must go the other way with the same torque resulting in ripping the arm off ? Or is there a limit on the motor so it's not necessary the other way ? Cheers Pete |

I bought a 57 S60 D5 185 needing a bit of tlc. One of the problems is this Swirl Flap nonsense. The lever is solidly connected to the motor but the engine end is off. I like the idea of the glue and latex, and the tie-wrap solution, but has anyone tried epoxy steel. I'm thinking of getting the engine hot and then smearing some e-steel on the inside of the lever before sliding it over the steel ball and then covering either side of the lever with the e-steel - and then leaving it for about 48 hours.
Any particular thoughts on why this wouldn't work before I start? |

Just knocked this up today, it's an original arm cut in half and held in tension with the spring , I'll fit it tomorrow and come back if it works .
