Swirl Flaps....
Just thought I would mention..... I am just embarking on this job on my ML 350 Blutec diesel 2012 and I took a chance and ordered the parts through Ali Express on Monday 15th Sept. They arrived today the 23rd Sept. The reason I want to mention it is the price and quality of the parts. I ordered a Swirl flap linkage repair kit, a new flap motor, a Gasket set made for the job including oil cooler seals, and a fuel filter. The whole lot was $254 NZD. And the fuel filter is a genuine part in the original box. The other parts are packaged after-market but honestly look pretty damn good. I was quoted $267 NZD for the filter alone from a dealer.
The job is not for the faint hearted and requires a bit of thinking about and a good tool kit, but there are plenty of guides on the internet if you have the patience. Hope this helps someone.
