Hi all, can anyone give me some advice please. Just in the process of fitting a 200tdi in my 90 and was looking at the intercooler,It's full of an oily sludge. How do I remove it? I was thinking a "Gunk" type fluid, would this work? Or is there somthing better ?
Thanks.
 
I think others have used petrol. Take obvious precaustions if doing so though. Good sluice round should shift it.
 
+1 for petrol, i use it to clean loads of stuff and it seems to be one of the most effective. That and its cheap as chips.

Just wash out the intercooler afterwards to remove any petrol residue and make sure its dry before refitting it. (i slipped mine in the oven on a low heat for a bit whilst the mrs was out)
 
I would use petrol, make sure it is completely dry before you refit it though. I used a hair dryer taped to the end last time, but leaving it on a radiator does the same :D
 
i used paraffin to clean mine, swished it round loads, drained it out till it looked cleanish, put it on a bench, filled it to the brim, left over the weekend, flushed it through monday morning and left it to evaporate till tuesday night and fitted it
 
white spirit works well + evaporates fast, used it on my inlet manifold for both me fender + vectra.

can fill a bucket for less than a fiver + leave to soak ;)
