It fitted well ,apart from oil in the old intercooler again. :cry: i might get a catch can. The oil that came out filled a paint roller tray, you know the big ones you put paint in one side well it filled the bit were the paint goes :shocked: They should put sump plugs on intercoolers. :laugh:
-
was this on a tdi james or petrol mate and did the bumper go on right an was there any modifycation needed for it to fit mate
-
1.8 petrol.No mods needed but i was pissed off my old intercooler never had the 10mm plug to block the hole in new one ,it didnt even have one on the old one.I made a alloy plate and gasket with black silcon and bolted it over the hole.Seem to hold the boost, touch wood. :wink: Bumper was easy to remove and refit with 2 people. :wink:
-
so your old doesnt have the sensor in it then as i am going to be putting this on a tdi but i bleive mine has got the sensor did you get any fault codes turn up on the dash or not also do you feel any diffrence with it mate
-
i think yours will have sensor, no i have no fault codes but my ignition amplifier is playing up .Iv ordered a new one ,picking up monday.So cant try it as its like running on 3 cylinders, but it was fine again today.But i took it easy incase it plays up again. :undecided:
-

-

k, get someone to help put bumper back on as there clips each side it has to slide onto.Plus compare intercooler to yours , might need adjustment it says on there site for deisels + pipes ,but why do you need extra pipes? :grin:
