    A couple of us used these instructions a few months ago and worked well just 2 observations came out of it though.

    1) removing the grill is so much easier if you haven't fed the wiring for driving lights or antennas through it.

    2) Make sure the couple of locating lugs on the bottom of the intercooler are set right before re-assembling.

    We used Acetone as the solvent as it dries without leaving any residue. When we poured it out after swishing around the intercooler for a good few minutes it came out the colour of a weak tea. We both noticed an increase in the performances of our D2s.

    My flush method requires several goes at it so in the order that Idid it in

    1st flush is dieso
    2nd is hot soapy water
    3rd is hot water
    4th is warm air for a couple of hours to dry it all out properly.

    If you have any signs of goop or oil duing the hot water rinse repeat the whole process till thats coming out clean.

    I used a large tower pipe on the inlet and outlet of the cooler and blew bursts of compressed air through from the lower of the 2 outlets to agitate everything as much as possable. The bursts of air were applied for each seperate fluid type.

    If your going to that much effort ID also recomend that you goto the silicone hoses afterwards as Im fiarly sure that the existing hoses wont appreciate what happens very much. You should also fit blanking covers to the turbo outlet and inlet manifold

    So Dave you actually left your intercooler in its place for your flush instead of removing the entire unit
