intercooler

I recently noticed my oooooomph had gone when I put my foot down. I read the forum and clinic archices then searched for disconnected pipes. When I couldn't find any, I gave up and took it to my local garage who but the bongo on the lift and discovered I had somehow smashed the scoop and intercooler, probablythe corner of a curb or something bouncing off the road they reckon.
Any how, I ow need a new intercooler and scoop. - Any one any ideas please?
Thanks
Sam

Never thought of that, I'm based in Ely, Cambs

A funny thing that Jaylee, I was just looking at that drawing and worked out what I needed - but where can I get them?

Did you drive through deep snow?

Had my air scoop ripped of by deep flooding a 3 years ago... The water pulled & ripped it down & the road did the rest..!

Did manage to find a replacement scoop, which you could get away with not having in this current climate... But obviously not the inter-cooler!

Now, when i sourced this part i got the inter-cooler part too as part of the deal, which is surplus to my requirement... ( Part 13-550) If you get stuck Sam, gis a pm!!

Does yer garage know the bleeding process with the Bongo?? (Would i be right in thinking that the inter-cooler is an integrated part of the cooling system Dandy!!????)

Badgers have been known to kill inter-coolers too!

no. the intercooler is not linked into the water/coolant system at all, its just part of the air intake system,and is an aircooler using airflow to do its cooling.
its mounted with 3 bolts 2 from below,and one from above,then the 2 pipe clips.

you could obtain one of those ally bling scoop protectors that some have on the front bar to help stop this happening again.

Thanks for putting me straight on that one Ady...

& i look at the inter-cooler pipes when checking for coolant leaks too!

I wondered why it wasn't on Widdowsons diagram...

Air cooled...
Back to my electrics i think.?!!

Good news Sam!

Sounds like a straight forward replacement job (with no bleeding involved).

Ady!!!
