Cleaning Intercooler

[BennyR33]

morning,

ok maybe a stupid question but as im new to turbo cars i wanted to ask the best way to clean bugs from the front of your intercooler?

was thinking a high pressure hose would make it worse by pushing them further in.

any help appreciated as i couldn't find anything with the search feature.

I just pick them off by and and use needle nose pliers to straighten the fins.

Pressure hose should be ok. Unless your driving through a plague of bugs i wouldnt worry too much about it, u cant really help crap flying into the cooler unless u put some kind of mesh infront.

My cooler is full of bugs lol but even then its not gonna have a huge affect on the air flow.

try something caustic like oven cleaner or something maybe, but keep it away from paintwork..AJAX even might work ok..

ended up going for a drive to a mates farm and her dogs ate them all out of the intercooler! haha i need to go visit more when i need to clean it from bugs. worked a treat!
