Anybody else have problems with this, it seems to slip off as you tighten it.
Fixed it today with a couple of cable ties which keep the clip towards the AFM.
The clip looks OEM so confusing as to why this would happen?

Re: WBX AFM jubilee clip
Plastic has been deformed over the years - you need a steel ring inside to reinstate the shape. Tightening down onto unsupported plastic is bound to cause it, I see it on a lot of heaters where the air intake pipe is plastic which appears to be rigid but over time becomes tapered when tightened down on.

Re: WBX AFM jubilee clip
It seems keeping the clamping force of the clip closer to the AFM helps solve the problem.
lots of replies on FB saying the same so a common problem it seems
an air leak here I think would cause it to be lean which is not good.
