gone and done it ...!
« on: 02 September 2012, 21:55 »
took my TB off too clean it and dropped the allen key down the intercooler hose!! so its gone into the intercooler! :cry: i started it up and its fine, i just dont want the pressure of the turbo pick it up and send it straight in my inlet manifold and destroy the engine, anybody tell me how to get the intercooler out on my mk4 golf gti so i can get this allen key back!

mate tell me about it lol i didnt no wether laugh, cry or what and the best thing is my car is at my house and my trolley jack and axels are at my mums around the next street so got push the car around there cuz they have got a big garage with all my tools in lol i darent start it up just incase the turbo pressure does pick it up and send it into my engine, im sure it wont like cuz an allen key isnt the most aerodynamic thing and the pipe up to the throttle body is nearlly vertical with a few bends in just hope i can get it out can i get the intercooler open at the top without taking the front bumper off ?

Dude you've made my night, you're a leg! Plus which just to add comedic value to the post, I just told my missus about your troubles and her response was, " oh sh!t, it's not likely to come through the air vents and hit him in the face is it".......I couldn't be f**ked to respond. She's gone to bed now....thank f**k.  :smiley:

At least you had the brass to admit it and ask for help. Life's a learning curve mush.  :kiss:
