Hi all i have a 300 tdi and have fitted the EGR blank and going to fit a non cat pipe but am going to clean the intercooler out first. Any suggestions as to what is the best way to do it.

dont forget to clean the outside fins as well, a crate full of hot soapy water and slosh it about in there...

Check the haynes manual. 60k for a defender. If you do a lot of mud plugging its probably worth doing it sooner. Easy enough job, think buster has done a guide in his little section somewhere.

I'd go for replys 2 & 3. Just be carefull not to collapse the fins. They are very delicate.
