TMIC Cleaning
While poking about under the bonnet this evening checking stuff like you do I noticed my intercooler is full of tiny stones and dead bugs.
Living out in the sticks what do I need to have available before I take it to pieces and find I am missing something? Also how easy is it to take it to take it off anyway as I am simply planning on taking it off and shaking upside down until the crap falls out!
Cheers

Depending on what MY of car you have, you'll probably just need a 12mm socket wrench (with a wobble extension) and a straight-bladed screwdriver (for the jubilee clips) to take the IC off.
Shaking it alone won't get you very far - need a hose with a spraygun on the end, shooting through from underneath. Pressure washer is likely to knacker the fins so regular tap-fed hose is better.

Magic, so no other little pieces to worry about while taking off and re-fitting then and thanks for the heads up about the pressure washer, it is advice like that which stops a simple job becoming an expensive job!!!
It is an 2004 wrx waggon so is it a my04 ???

I remember watching a subaru dealer mechanic working on my MY03 when it was 2 years old he threw his spanner onto the intercooler bending the fins, very professional

If you are going to take the intercooler off. Bear in mind that refitting the bottom y-pipe onto the turbo can be a little fiddly, a bit of WD-40 usually helps things slip into place.
