intercooler

Has anyone had any experience using an aftermarket chargecooler radiator, such as Darkside's? I nearly cobbled one together for my old Hilux, but never got around to it. I can see how bigger intercoolers can give more hp, but the chargecoolers don't have as much scope for up-sizing.

Hi guys ,just tried buying a set of forge motorsport boost hoses and intake pipe for my t6 tsi and forge motorsport don’t make them anymore ,also the front mount inercooler . The company I’m trying to buy them through are trying to get forge to start making them again . I think it’s crazy to...

Hello guys, I own a VW T6 2017 2.0 TDI (150 HP). Long story short - coolant was leaking, head gasket, EGR fixed but it's still looses coolant. I found out that the intercooler coolant hoses are at best - slightly warm if not cold even though the engine is hot. Is it normal or we are looking at...

T6 2016 180 bi turbo I have a some oil around the hose connection from what i think is the intercooler to the turbo. Anyone else had this? Thanks

Hi all I’ve got a t6 140bhp started with a bussing/Zissing noise at about 1250/1650 under load but not just revving her up had a Quick Look under the bonnet all good no problem all bolts seem tight no split hoses. After a M/way run coil light comes on, code P0299 comes up is that just replace...

Changing glow plugs and removed the intercooler pipe its a bit oily and there is a build up on the butterfly valve beneath is this normal thanks

Help!!! We are on a road trip from Devon to Nuremberg in Germany in our t6 2016 van and the coil light flashes on the dash. The van is then under power like the turbo not working. If you switch ignition off the light goes off and the turbo works but slightly noisier or perhaps it is just us. We...

T6 front mount OEM intercooler off my TSI. I believe all the T6 intercoolers are the same though so will also fit TDI's. Done around 20k and off a T6 so not filled with gunk etc and in good condition. Collection form Bicester/ oxford area or can post at cost. £150. Mat

I’ve just changed all the heater plugs in my VW Caravelle T6. I’ve put it all back together and it’s running fine BUT… was I supposed to bleed the intercooler when I put it all back together?

There's loads of info around on upgrading intercoolers and turbos to get 200bhp plus, but I'm after some opinions on the 'modest' options :-) I have a 2006 T5, 2.5 (AXD engine) with 173k miles. I've owned it from new and looked after it well. I fully recognise it's a van, and I don't want to...

Driving back from fishing today and VAN start whooshing very loud when accelerating hard, then lost power and start smoking black, then the coil sign start flashing and went to limp mode. I scanned the code when got home and got P0299. I checked all the EGR pipes and the intercooler hoses and...

Hi T6’ers.. Anyone upgraded their own intercooler to an Airtec? These look to have a larger core than the performance Wagner and half the price as the Wagner competition… just sounding out any feedback for Airtec I’m upgrading for efficiency and turbo longevity more than performance…...

Hi guys, I have T6 2016 tdi 140 remapped by rev to 170ish. Engine type CAAC. My standard inter cooler just popped and so id like to upgrade to give it some more grunt if possible, I have been looking at the Wagners, but wondered what everyone thought as its a bit pricey, please let me know...

Right guys, badly stuck, mechanics head is boggled. Van had recently got a head gasket replacement, and reconditioned injectors, bad diesel i think.. but now, van went great for few days after work, then apparently lost all power, black smoke, hasnt went right since. Hes checked turbo, egr, all...

Hello All I’m new to the forum as looking to buy a T6. This looks to be an awesome place for info and advice. I’m new to the T6 and have only driven one and am really keen on it. However, the turbo seemed pretty noisy with a noticeable whoosh under load - is this normal? Is there anything...

Hi all, after being all proud of myself and replacing the intercooler on my 2016 T6 today, the same issue as before exists (coil light flashing orange, reset on switch off). The intercooler was defo dead but after changing it and going for a spin, the passenger side pipe - which was seated...

So I thought I’d make a thread reference my T6 TSI I bought the van back in August 2020, prior to that, I had a lwb manual highline 2016 that I specked, Oryx white, bars, springs, sport line wheels etc it was my pride and joy! However, in lockdown I was using the van a lot and fancied more...
