nicksmelly Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Flush it out with diesel / parafin / petrol / thinners or whatever you have handy. Make sure you get whatever you put in out and its dried thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the cleaning agents do the work. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 okay, ill do it at the weekend, and for now stick to my engineering revision or is it classed as bodging revision? lolmikey One option I've head of, but not tried yet, is to stick a dishwasher tablet in with water and leave overnight. If it is good enough for your Waterford Crystal Whiskey Tumblers then it is probably allright for your intercooler. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discomikey Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 washed it, using lots of fairy liquid, washing tablets (the ones with the power ball ) and its sorta clean, i also soaked it for about an hour and then put the hose in the end and ran it through for another hour. much water wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
