Diesel Black Smoke

Gino · 1st September 2019, 08:16

Morning all,

So I have had the new O rings for well over a week now, but only fitted them yesterday - I had a wisdom tooth removed then had an abscess so was in hospital for 5 days!
Unfortunately, my problem isn't the O rings, but the intercooler. Somehow the locating mounts have broken off allowing it to move.
I've just been for a test drive and the difference was immediate, until I put my foot down. I heard a pop as the elbow came out of the intercooler and saw lots of black smoke again. I had tried to secure the intercooler with cable ties, but obviously it wasn't enough.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement intercooler? I have seen some new ones on ebay, but I'm not sure of the quality. Otherwise I shall be asking Mickyboy for his assistance again!

Thanks,

Rob
