![]() Hi,
I've been very busy this weekend. I've got the car in full service mode ![]() Quote:
I also removed intercooler because he was completely clogged and some oil inside the tubes. This one needs some serious cleaning after 190.000 miles of usage. I also noticed a broken wire. The wire is attached to the tunnel that guides air to the intercooler. it leads inside the engine bay and I found it broken right behind the air filter box. any ideas on that???? (see pics) I think proper cleaning of the intercooler will revive some hp. I will have it cleaned together with my radiator. Car is now ready for some engine bay cleaning and replacement of all belts. any other sugestions what I should do while I'm at that stage? bye |

![]() Just had a quote from radiator/intercooler specialist... Intercooler seems to be too far gone... it's leaking air... It could be fixed but I was looking at a price of about £70 to clean and repair. Bought a second hand on ebay in uk for £25 of a carbreaker

![]() Since very sorry state of my intercooler guess is that turbo must have been leaking an excesive amount of oil.I see a fair amount of oil inside the tubes also...I will dismantle the whole unit this weekend. I will install a new turbo cartridge while it is out anyway. Turbo has done almost 200'000mls so it won't hurt I think...
