Thread: 2016 Puma split intercooler

Worth trying Graeme Cooper, they may have one in stock. I got one from them when my std one split.

Your going to hate me.
I threw my 2015 OEM out some months ago.
I should have advertised it here as a for free item.

I have the BAS intercooler installed since 2017 and no issues.

Mine's currently in Germany....

its pointless in fitting a stock one as a replacement, the 2.2 its a given it will split, normally on the drivers side.

Think I'll get a BAS intercooler, although they are on backorder at the moment, the Alive ones are 100 pounds dearer and there seem to be a few concerns on here about the Allisport ones, but they are out of stock as well. Farm duties will need to be done by SWMBO's jeep (slowly) in the interim

Thank you very much for the offer but it's not that urgent now that the rain has put paid to shearing this weekend. Hopefully I should have a shiny new one soon....

I too suffered a split intercooler.
I had also heard of the reliability issues and gave them a call.
They have changed the manufacturing process and pressure test each item before shipping.
Been in a month and no issues.
From memory $950 landed in Aus.

Whichever you choose it will be an improvement on the L.R orig.

Good Luck!

I had a large parcel on my front verandah this afternoon when I got home.......

So being an enthusiastic chap I decided to go out to the shed and punish myself for a few hours, there's only one effective way to get those silicone hoses on , thanks Tombie

Mostly fitted up, I left the hose behind the water pump for another day, the one under the airbox was the worst to do but the lubricant does make it better, its also much easier to cut an inch off the turbo hose before you run it underneath the airbox and I used a pair of tree pruning shears to cut it down. Still some finishing off to do tomorrow like fitting the support clamp that bolts to the alternator and putting the intake back on but I've lost enough skin tonight....
