send out for pressure test and than they hot tank it
An intercooler you just need to keep clean, free from blockages. Repair any damage from road debris.
The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.The normal direction of airflow is air filter to turbo, to intercooler, to engine.
A car can run with out an intercooler, but if it was designed to have an intercooler, the driveabilty will be affected.

There will always be some oil in the intercooler. Part of the emissions system connects the engine breather to the airbox. As the turbo sucks air through the airbox it tends to suck some oil into the intercooler.
this sounds alot like a turbo failure, although there could well be a leak in the pipes leading from the turbo to the intercooler, or from the intercooler to the inlet manifold. also check the intercooler for leaks. or it is the vacuum pipe that operates the waste gate on the turbo, or a seized waste gate.
White smoke out of exhaust is usually indicitive of water or coolant in the combustion chanber/ chambers of the exhaust. Usually caused by a blown head gasket. A costly repair. clean pipes to and from intercooler and clean intercooler .and clean crankcase breather.
Whatever the intercooler is for (transmission, turbo, etc), will most likely overheat and do some damage.
Turbo Charged Intercooler
Yeah...I guess you could say that. If you break a blade in a turbocharger, the out-of-balance condition will cause the turbo to self-destruct. Said exploding turbo will take out your intercooler too.
problem with emmission control, Check the Oxygen sensor take off the hose from the turbo to intercooler and clean it .now clean hose from intercooler to inlet manafold. now you need a small hose into into right hand side ofthe intercooler push it down and see if any water mixed with oil is found and remove it .with pump you will get in a boat shop.i found this in my Volvo 940 turbo 1991 you must allso clean the crankcase breather common in most Volvo,s
