There are two types of sizes:
- smaller swirl flaps (22 mm), designed for vehicles manufactured up to 2003;
- larger swirl flaps (33 mm), designed for vehicles manufactured since 2005;
- you need to measure the hole in the manifold for engines made in 2004. In 2004 were used two sizes of swirl flaps.
However, there are exceptions to this rule and an explicit statement is not possible.
