Title: Fitting an S3 intercooler
Post by: Ed30DSG on 02 January 2010, 14:21

Just picked one up for a song, but have been told that I will need to get the aircon discharged and rechared after fitting. Is this correct? Is there no way around this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Topher - looks like you can just move the a/c rad out of the way whilst you fit the intercooler. The recharge was going to cost me another £75 (almost as much as the estimated fitting charge!)
