Title: Cleaning the intercooler
Post by: karmann on March 20, 2010, 08:29:02 PM
Removed it today and there's oil in there, do I need to wash it out or not? If so what's the best way of doing it?

I used some citrus degreaser on mine. Can get it from your local bike shop.

I ended up getting 2 litres of petrol and flushing it through, carnt believe how much crap came out, this must of made a tone of difference to the cooling performance.
