hi i have a disco 300tdi auto 99,was told a couple of days ago that cleaning my intercooler out will give me better economy and a few more horses to play with ive decatted and de egrd can i fit a td5 intercooler to her and will it make a difference
 
I don't know about a td5 one, but you an get bigger ones to fit yours. Think they may be expensive though. Have you cleaned yours yet? It made a big difference to mine and is really easy to do!
 
no i havent wouldnt have a clue on how to do it,i have noticed that theres a big oiley blob in bottom corner near the radiator
 
i read the same about the td5 intercoolers fitting into a 300tdi but when i asked the question on another forum i was told not to be stupid they wont fit??????????
 
It's an easy job. If you undo the bolts on the radiator top cover, undo the hoses and the intercooler just slides out. I used petrol to clean it and a lot of ****e came out, you might need to repeat it a couple of times.I just bunged one end up, quarter filled it with petrol and shook it up, then did it again. Clean the outside also. Made a right difference.
 
and make sure its 100% dry before re starting the car again, if its not the fumes will make the engine "runaway".........
