Siemens-Common Rail System – Intake manifold flap servo motor (1.4L Duratorq-TDCi (DV) diesel engine, emission standard IV)

Some engine versions with emission standard IV (without diesel particulate filter) are equipped with an intake manifold flap servo motor. In these versions the intake manifold flap only serves to restrict the intake air for more efficient exhaust gas recirculation (more efficient exhaust gas recirculation at lower engine speed/load ranges). If the system does not… Read More »
