Background

In some cars the diaphragm in the vacuum box which regulates the swirl throttle disintegrates when it comes into contact with oil. This can cause poor drivability and the CHECK ENGINE indicator lamp to come on. A new vacuum box with oil resistant diaphragm has been introduced. The vacuum box must be replaced by a new one on all cars affected.
