    Default have i bought a pup?

    Before I picked up my 1.9cdti 150 the dealer had a new intake manifold fitted, since then I've only had it 2 months and done a couple thousand miles, and the swirl flaps have seized up again lost all faith in this car now, what would you guys do, either reject the car and take your money back or get the dealer to fix it and hope it lasts this time?

    So if I blank it will it still pass emission test? Guess it'll bring up the warning light? Excuse for a remap I suppose

    Check that the stealer has replaced the Swirl Actuator as well. To save pennies, they will put the old acutator onto a new manifold, causing limp mode and P1109 error codes. HTH
