Not a bad fix fingers crossed. I was told I had a swirl flap jammed by 3 garages ended up being a sheered bolt in the manifold. 308 smackers new manifold.

Hi ho silver

It was the swirl flap motor.oil had seeped on top of it and shorted the circuits of the motor out...bit strange i thought..y did merc put and electrical circuit under a turbo that will eventually leak..its a common fault on the 3.0litre V6 apparently!!!i did read the replys,thats y i took it to a specialistand didnt waste ££££s on a turbo for it not to be fixed..the lad gave me the old swirl motor back.so im off dwn the indy garage asap to hear the excuse(the mechanic sed “its definatly the turbo,ive done loads).

When I was quoted £2k for a new turbo on my car they factored in a new swirl flap motor while they were there to prevent the fault youve just had.
