Hey guys any one know where i can get a set of blanks for the swirl flaps for a vrs 2007 octavia diesel. Was looking online and all I can see is bmw ones and im unsure if they will fit ?

Any one know ?

When I had a new inlet manifold fitted to my car, I was informed by the garage that there was no kit as yet for the VRS. He was also at the time fitting a blanking kit to a BMW manifold. That was only 4 months ago, but hopefully in the future somebody will develop one. I am surprised nobody as yet has, as it is a common failing on a lot of these plastic manifolds. Had one go on my previous Mazda as well. If you do manage to find a kit, let us all know. 

I thought it was common place to fit the manifold that doesnt have them instead of blanks? Basically remove the flaps but keep the ducts

I believe if you take out the flaps, you still have to fill in the connecting holes with something. I saw on an internet video someone fill in the connecting holes with that stuff that comes out of a tube that sets like metal. Would not trust it myself just in case a piece came loose and went into the cylinder. 

I'm gona take of mine of some stage this week and measure the hole the has to be sealed and see if any of the current ones for the bmws will fit it
