S spike Well-Known Member 24 Sep 2008 #2 Hi Gaz I have not replaced one myself but in the attached thread its quoted as a 4 hour job (for a professional mechanic) I suspect the bumper needs to come off for access. http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6624&highlight=intercooler Cheers Spike

Skipton01 Admin Team 24 Sep 2008 #3 It is definitely a bumper off job and you'll need to remove the undertray as well. It's not a 4 hour job, as this quote is based on radiator removal too, which isn't needed in this case. Cheers, Mike

S shezlee Member 25 Sep 2008 #4 Mike is quite right that its not 4 hours for someone who knows what to take apart. Stealth Racing replaced ours for a custom made unit in about 3 hours, the use of a ramp helps considerably when removing the bumper and under tray. Is your intercooler split http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6624&highlight=intercooler+failure If you haven't already bought a new intercooler Stealth Racing have the option to take your intercooler and have Alloy end caps welded on.
