When I took of my intercooler, I noticed that there was quite alot oil in it.
Is this normal, or should I be worried?

I cleaned it up en fitted it again!

Alex.

Hi Alex,
Have the same thing with mine (MY97), cleaned the cooler with brake parts cleaner, apparently it's not uncommon to get oil deposits in the inlet.
hope this helps

Stu

It's usually due to a breather being connected to the induction system.
