Hi, so I'm working on my 2010 golf, 1.4tsi 118kw engine, it's running very rough on idle, and i've replaced everything from sparkplugs, to coils, to intake air regulating flap, oil cooler(coolant mixed with oil but not a headgasket issue) and the turbo, but the problem still remains. I was planning...

Does anybody know if a MK7.5 R's OEM intercooler will fit a 6C GTI?

Stock on 6C seems tiny, although the AirTec aftermarket 1 seems to approach OEM R in volume, shape may be an issue though.

What part number to order replacement or recommend better than stock, thanks

So, during lockdown #2, someone nicked my SMIC grille. I've since purchased an aftermarket one but from the looks of this image, it seems like what's missing is some type of shroud or something that would assist in directing the airflow towards the intercooler? I don't know, it just seems like such...

I'm looking at intercooler upgrades for stage 2/3. Anyone have a recommendation?

Not sure what to look for apart from how much it drops the temperature and ?keeps? pressure I assume?

Will an intercooler upgrade help to make it respond/drive more like it does on a cool night...

anyone running an ebay intercooler in here? golf r, gti, skoda e.t.c

how are you finding it and how did you find installing it.

Is anyone with a Mk7/7.5 GTI or R running the do88 intercooler?

Any feedback?

I've been doing some research on intercoolers lately as this will probably be my next mod, and the do88 intercooler is one of the best performing intercoolers available and is priced several hundred...

Hi,
I picked up my tigger from the dealer after its 60,000 click service.
They said that they were concerned about oil leaking from the lower intercooler hose. I believe them because I was starting to get oil drops on the floor over the last month and the engine sounds a bit odd when...

On the Golf R 7.5, to access the front fins on the intercooler or oil cooler, can the piano-black trims be simply pulled out from the front of the bumper without damage?

Any tips appreciated.

Hello brains trust,

My Jetta has 152,000 kms on it, and has just developed an audible boost leak. Still goes fine, just hisses once the MAP gets over about 170 on my OBD reader. On the weekend, I pulled off the two hoses to the bottom of the intercooler and cleaned the O-rings and metal...

Hi
I have a 07 T5 transporter crew cab 4 motion 2.5 6 speed. Purchased about a year ago 200k on it but I knew the owner and he looked after it, amazing how well it drives. However, it spat a slave cylinder and currently up on the hoist gearbox out and I've ordered some bits from Darkside Dev in...

Morning Gents,

MY trusty T5 (2006 1.9TDi) has never leaked a single drop of oil since I bought it 2nd hand in 2009. About 6 months ago I noticed a few tiny drops appearing on the garage floor. Lately it's been leaving small puddles!

It all seems to be coming from in and...

So yesterday afternoon I lifted the engine cover on the Alltrack as I was looking at the connections used for the crankcase breather. Thinking about catch cans and all that...

Anyway, one of the reasons i was thinking of a catch can was to stop the Intercooler becoming an oil trap....
