boaterboy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The maintenance check sheet that I refer to calls for 'Flush diesel intercooler element' every 48k miles. What is this, please? How is it carried out, please? Thank you for your help, in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just looking at Rave for the D2, I can see that flushing the intercooler is a maintenance item, although it doesn't say what interval. I did wonder when I first saw your query whether it might be the fuel cooler, but it seems it is the intercooler which is effectively an air to air 'radiator' for the turbo, it is fitted at the front of the engine bay along with the engine rad and the condenser (assuming you have A/C). Rave is here and it is page 123, the links in the PDF work so you can navigate around. There is seemingly a real LR solvent, but most would use petrol as a readily available and cheapish alternative. just make sure it is well aired before refitting. As important as flushing it is checking for leaks/any sign of oil on the outside..... just found my P38 has an issue there. if there is a lot of oil inside then check the EGR system, if you clean that and the problem remains then it may be that the turbo is failing.
