United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 S Manual Fuji White
Aftermarket Intercooler (All alloy)

Hi There,

Has anybody fitted an aftermarket all alloy intercooler? I have been looking on-line & discovered several on ebay for around £110.00 (see link below). I ask because I am in the process of replacing an intercooler that has blown the seal from the side of one of the plastic end caps, if this is a weak spot then an all metal welded one would (in my opinion) be an improvement. Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

While looking for ideas for an after cooler for my air compressor, I noticed a lot of rubbish on the market. Buying a cheap copy might save a few dollars up front, but you will end up having to buy another cooler & do the whole job all over again. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

My intercooler looks like it has blown at the end cap too still driving OK and no fault codes but I need to get sorted ASAP so it may be quite common keep us informed on what you do and any improvement it makes

I ended up having a standard OEM one fitted by the garage as I was uncertain of the quality of of the ones I had see advertised.

Apparently the Focus RS uses the same original cooler so aftermarket larger RS coolers should fit
