i have a fix for the inter cooler blocking up
NOTE IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERY STEP IS DONE TO EXCACTALY AS STATED
OR CATASTOPIC ENGINE FAILURE WILL OCCUR!!!!!!!!
1 PARK XJ ON CLEAN CONCRETE DRIVE
2 WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF DISCONNECT INTER COOLER HOSE FROM INLET MANIFOLD. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE KEYS IN YOU POCKET
3 DISCONNECT INTERCOOLER HOSE FROM TURBO AND PLUG HOSE.
4 TAKE 1 BOTTLE PINK HANDY ANDY AND POUR DOWN THE HOSE THAT GOES FROM THE INTER COOLER TO THE INLET MANIFOLD, SO HANDYANDY GOES INTO TOP OF INTER COOLER.
5 TAKE BOILING WATER AND POUR DOWN THIS HOSE TILL IT COME OUT THE TOP OF HOSE.
6 LEAVE 5 -10 MINS THEN CLIMB UNDER FRONT OF XJ AND REMOVE BOTTOM HOSE FROM INTER COOLER BE CAREFULL AS WATER DETERGENT MIX COULD BE STILL VERY HOT!!!!!! AND LET DRAIN.
7 POUR MORE BOILING WATER INTO THE TOP HOSE OF INTER COOLER
HEAPS OF IT THIS WILL FLUSH ALL THE RESIDUE OUT OF INTER COOLER AND LET DRAIN.
8 WHILE THIS IS DRAINING REMOVE BOTTOM HOSE AND CHECK FOR ANY HOLES.
9 REFITT BOTTOM HOSE TO THE INTER COOLER
REMOVE RAG FROM TURBO END OF HOSE AND CONECT TO TURBO.
10 NOW THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
BEFORE YUO RECONNECT TOP HOSE TO ENGINE HAVE SOME ONE HOLD HOSE OVER SIDE OF XJ DONT POINT AT ANY ONE OR THING.
11 MAKE SURE INLET MANIFOLD IS CLEAR AND START ENGINE
BRING UP TO ABOUT 2000 RPM
12 YOU WILL NOW SEE WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO THIS
ANY WATER STILL SITTING IN THE INTER COOLER WILL BE BLOWN OUT
AND BELEAVE ME THERE WILL BE WATER COMMING OUT!
IF YOU DONT DO THIS ALL THAT WATER WILL GO STRAIGHT INTO YOUR ENGINE RESULT BIG BAD BOOM
13 WHEN NO MORE WATER COMES OUT RECONNECT TOP HOSE TO ENGINE
JOBS DONE
14 RECLEAN DRIVEWAY
easy to do but must be done as stated
inter cooler stays in car
cost 1 1/2 hours of your time $5 for the handy andy
you will notice the improvement in power
cheers Murray
