Hi Folks, I'm going to service my 300 Tdi Discovery and wondered what's best to use to flush out the intercooler?

Thanks

I was thinking of doing this the other day actually, also mab the air intake manifold as i used to run a EGR and it looks pretty clogged up in there!

I was thinking use a water soluble de-greaser and fill the inter cooler with it then leave it for a while to soak in and rinse it out? or is that a no no?

Throw a wee bit of petrol into the intercooler. Give it a really good slosh about and empty . Keep doing it until it runs clear . Then let the intercooler dry for 48 hours . I pointed a electric fan heater directly at the holes and it dried very quickly . Petrol works really well and for cleaning up parts in a bucket.

My dad did this years ago with his 200 tdi took the intercooler out and layed on ground and filled it up with parrafin and sloshed it about and left it over nite then drained it ran some more parrafin through it then emptied it . Dried the intercooler using the house radiator . Got the parrafin out a garden centre for in door heaters .
