cleanin oil out of intercooler
Andrew3012:
Did mine with paraffin, got rid of all the crud quite nicely.
discowoman:
How regular does this need to be done?
Range Rover Blues:
I think it's in the service shcedule once every blue moon. It needs doing after a couple of year's use but as the engine gets older it needs doing more often. i fitted a catch tank to our TDi and blanked off the EGR, that and the engine breather are what causes most of the contamination. The only oil getting into our intercooler now is from the turbo, so if there is any I'll be worried.
Les Henson:
I slosh petrol through them until it comes out as clean as it went in. I have an old hair dryer to blow the fumes out afterwards.

I Have a parts cleaner at work you know the type with a hose with a brush on the end .I've thought about putting the hose into the intercooler and letting it pump round for an hour or two would this be ok???
