Hello VW hive mind
I have a leaky Intercooler on my early T6 that I fear may not last much longer or cause another issue. I was recommended a replacement by Darkside developments which look like solid bits of kit although I’m not necessarily looking to increase performance so not sure if it is any better than a straight replacement by VW. I don’t want to buy something I will have to replace again. So I have a couple of questions:
1. Darkside Intercooler - I can see a few have installed them but wanted to see what the thoughts are on them, worth it ? Better than VW ?
2. What engine do you think I have ??? I have a 2015 Euro 5 badged up with T3 140 TDI on the back, I presume this Intercooler would be the correct one? It’s registered as 2015 but a T6 so I think this is correct (It’s a lot of money to go wrong with though )
Any help greatly appreciated!
