• Water-to-air charge air cooler

🔌 Function

Cools the compressed air leaving the turbocharger before it reaches the cylinders, raising air density so the engine makes its rated power with lower combustion temperatures.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Power down and exhaust smoke up under load
• Charge air temperature running higher than normal
• Coolant loss with no external leak found elsewhere
• Oil or water pooling in the charge air pipework
• Fins clogged, corroded or crushed on inspection

🛠️ Service Notes

• Plan a hoist and a two-person lift before releasing the mountings - 75 kg cannot be hand-held
• Clear any oil or debris from the charge air pipework before fitting, or the new cooler will foul the same way
• Renew the charge air hoses, clamps and joint seals at the same time
