Failing intercooler symptoms

Just like any other car parts, an air cooler can fail over time. Stone chippings and pollution are the most common causes of a failing intercooler. A charge air cooler often also break during a crash. An intercooler oil leak or a clogged one is also very common. Clogging can occur due to engine oil or other residues from the turbocharger. An intercooler oil leak can also be caused by extremely high pressure in the system.

A failing intercooler can be recognized by a number of points. It always leads to a strong decrease in engine power. Increasing fuel consumption, engine warning light, slow spool, poor idling, excess smoke from the exhaust, poor mileage and inconsistent timing are other symptoms to look out for. An indication of a failing intercooler are also traces of motor oil on the connection to the intercooler or insufficient motor oil in your engine. Recognize any of these symptoms? We strongly recommend to check your intercooler or have a mechanic have a look at it. If it appears to be defective, it needs to be replaced.

Intercooler

The intercooler makes sure to cool the air before it reaches the turbocharger. An intercooler is then also only used in cars that have a turbocharger. A charge air cooler is necessary to improve the performance of your turbo. Because air that is sucked in by the turbo gets compressed, it heats up and gets less effective. The intercooler, therefore, cools the air down and making the engine more efficient. The air cooler directs the compressed air through small tubes and uses the wind to cool it down. An accident or even a stone can result in a failing intercooler. You can order a new cooler quick and easily at Winparts. Simply enter your number plate or select your car using make, model and engine type. The right products for your car will automatically be shown.
