    i did this it worked a treat , the only hard part was removing the front grill with spotties and arial wires going through the grill but managed took about 2hrs tho but well worth it ,i did this the same time as doing the EGR removal which killed 2 birds with one stone really www.discovery2.co.uk / Workshop / Intercooler Cleaninr from my memory you have a D1 so it might be slighty different

    cheers kelvin

    The reason you use compressed air through it is to get rid of any fumes left over because if you dont you run the risk of your car running on off the fumes left in the intercooler when you kill the ignition
    yes you dont have to tell me about this Ian on the other hand well what can I say hence the reason I really didn't want to use kero

    have most of you forgotten Ian nearly blew up the 90 as he forgot to blow the intercooler out.
    Thats part of the reason I wanted to use a cleaner that would evaporate also...

    no drips and dregs left in the bottom

    thats why I have multiple hot water washes in the flushing technique....

    BTW kero is essentialy dieso as far as the engine cares.

    .
    diesel/kero doesn't matter was still enough to feed the turbo up until 4500rpm before the engine came to an abrupt halt

    never want to experience that again thanks

    Must have been a fair bit left trapped in the intercooler.
    Which one are you doing this time???
    The electronic mojos should control the situation a tad more if it was to happen again

    no dice, the ECU cant control whats being sucked into the air intake.

    once a TD5 is on overrun the injectors are off.

    4.5k+ Rpm on an idle throttle input is most definately over run.

    I'd go with Daves soapy water suggestion, NEVER use a solvent in the intake system of a diesel engine. Even if you don't get a full on run away, the knock/ detonation on startup is what can damage gudgeon bushes and crank bearings. Definately not best practice for a compression ignition engine.
