🔌 Function

Cools the compressed air leaving the turbocharger before it enters the cylinders, raising charge density so more fuel can be burnt cleanly.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Power down and exhaust smoke up, with charge air temperature high
• Boost pressure lower than expected for the load
• Oil or water pooling in the intake tract
• Hissing or whistling from the charge air pipework under load
• Matrix bent, blocked with debris, or leaking on a pressure test

🛠️ Service Notes

• This is the earlier welded-pipe version, built up to 2008 week 23 - check your engine's build date, as later production takes a different cooler
• The other charge air cooler in this range, 3827336 at 59 kg, covers TAD and TAMD engines, so use the build date and engine family together
• Pressure test the core before condemning it, and cure the source of any oil found inside
