Default Clean Ya intercooler

Mines been a little down on power and I though the it was just me getting used to the truck. But today I noticed a lot of oil around my starter motor area so lifted of intercooler and it had split underneath So swrapped it for my spare one and thought just outta interest I'll flush the old one out as had a lot of oil residue. And you wouldnt belive what has come out of it!! Took truck up the road to make sure all is well with newly fitted one and holy crap we've got some power now so just shows over the 14 years that one has been on there they do block up just like a rad can do over time.. worth doing all of you for the sake of a little bit of brake cleaner.

Thinking about swapping my inlet and out let over so I haven't got egr as that's letting soot out some how even tho theres a blanking plate in there. And my spare inlet and outlet is earlier tyre without egr

Cola works just as well too. More readily available & cheaper. Just rinse with water afterwards & leave to dry

I'm told it's a good sink drain cleaner as well.
