Because the intercooler is located between the turbos, leaks from this part of your vehicle, when worn out and have holes on it will end up in the intercooler because there is no place else to go. if that's the case then you will have to physically remove the DPF and get it chemically cleaned out .

I've had no indication on the dash to say it's the DPF and I'm led to believe this is what the car does to tell you.

Oil in intercooler piping from the turbocharger might also contribute in making your intercooler clogged. What happens when an intercooler fails? When this occurs, you have to fix this leakage from your turbocharger as soon as possible. However, you should be sure of the cause of the leak before taking any action because we discovered that most people confuse coolant for oil.

Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and more Seal one part of the unit to prevent acetone from running out. Place the oil pan under your intercooler piping to collect oil that might drip out. The intercooler has two pipes connected to your engine. There will not be a supply of air in the optimal pressure, which will affect the engine’s air-fuel proportion. This might either lead to your engine running rich or lean. I tried taking the car for a drive after the hose was bodged up and the mas was changed and it seems to be going slower. I'm just going to have to wait until Wednesday until the dpf and new hose arrive so I can do a forced regen and try and clear everything.Edit: just realised yours are insignia mk1, mine is mk2 1.6d so I guess that means a different pipe.They really are crap pipes arn't they! Thanksdoes the bodge kit come with a collar to insert in the pipe? I wouldn't want to clamp from the outside without one as it will crush the pipe. I have come here to see if you guys can help me with an issue i have got with my insignia 2.0ltr 170bhp 16 plate cdti. the smell of diesel will indicate failed regeneration and the extra diesel used to perform regeneration has been dumped into the engine sum thus raising oil level and the oil has now lost its viscosity,so the lubrcation properties are diminished . The intercooler is not meant to have any oil, neither by operational requirements or design. Your turbocharger runs at speeds up to 280,000 rpm, and from your engine lubrication system, it is lubricated by oil.

In this case the connector seems to be ok but the pipe has broken just behind the connector. When I push the pipe you can see the split opening up. Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement. The turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air, and it increases in temperature, which gets very high. As the temperature increases, the density (oxygen content) falls. The ECM, which is the engine control module, will likely trigger a light to appear on your vehicle’s dashboard. This error code is sent due to engine overheating. Can you drive with a broken intercooler?I've been getting P0101 maf sensor errors (high) but I just noticed my intercooler pipe has broken. I guess that error makes sense as more air will be following past the maf as it's losing some from this split. Spray your intercooler with a degreaser both inside and outside to remove dirt and let it drip out. The responsibility of your intercooler is to reduce the temperature of the compressed air from the supercharger or turbocharger. While cooling, that air increases the air density transferred to your engine.
