Thread: Allisport radiator and/or intercooler - long term experience

Not a big fan of allisport, Had their direct replacement inter cooler , could not tell much difference on a 300 TDI , then noticed oil seeping out where the fins join the bottom tank .
Pressure tested it & it leaked , contacted Allisport & was told it was normal & they would not replace it . went back to std.
Also had their expansion tank , which cracked on the seam .
All in all I wont bother with them again .

My Allisport intercooler is still good, has been installed on a tuned TD5 for +11yrs and 120k kms.

I installed their performance intercooler in my 2015 2.2 Defender in early 2016, along with the BAS 170hp ECU.

All worked well until mid-last year when the Defender went into 'limp' mode (with the BAS tool reporting an error indicating air pressure leak). Removed all the intercooler hoses and replaced them with silicone (as the normal culprits). However, no holes/splits were visible.

So then removed the intercooler and found a 50-60mm split in one of the side tanks.

I contacted Allisport directly, and they asked for proof of purchase and a picture of the split. I promptly sent this through, and they couriered a brand new replacement to me within a week.

Very happy with the support and service.

cheers,
