FAQ
Can intercoolers be repaired or just replaced?
Intercoolers can often be professionally cleaned, pressure-tested, and repaired depending on the extent of damage. We may replace damaged tanks, weld cracks, or recore sections where possible. Full replacement is only recommended when repair is not viable or long-term reliability would be compromised. Each case is assessed individually to give you the best outcome.
What are the signs of a failing intercooler?
Watch for reduced engine power, excessive black smoke, rising exhaust temperatures, or increased turbo lag. You might also hear whistling from under the bonnet, notice higher fuel consumption, or experience engine knock under load. These signs often point to a blocked, cracked, or leaking intercooler and should be addressed quickly to avoid further engine stress.
Do intercoolers affect fuel economy in trucks?
Yes—intercoolers play a direct role in fuel efficiency. By cooling the intake air, they help engines burn fuel more effectively and maintain optimal power output. A blocked or faulty intercooler can reduce fuel economy, especially under heavy towing or long-distance driving conditions. Maintaining your intercooler helps improve both performance and running costs over time.
