Ah, didn't realise the 32V engines don't have them!

It's #9 here:




Looks like this:

Another plus is that because 32V does not have it you get a bit more oil mist going in the intake so it keeps manifold flaps nicely lubricated and they do not seize like on 40V.

The good news just keeps on coming Thanks.

Which reminds me..... I'm trying to confirm whether my manifold flap is working as it should. It isn't siezed and the pipework appears intact, but I can't make it do anything. This might simply be because it isn't meant to under the sort of conditions you can create with the bonnet open but I can't find any test procedures that relate to the 32v engines?
