I am struggling to find an intercooler close by and need to keep this car on the road, is it ok to keep driving it like it is untill I find/get parts or is there any why I could by pass the intercooler?

[rudi dudi]

It wont do any harm .

No idea if it would stick but you could try and bodge the crack with some Gaffer tape etc as a temp fix.

don't think it would work, was thinking of getting it welded up

Or even JB weld might be good for a temp fix

Ah, I thought it had been scraped with something to see how thick the oil coating was.

Hi m8

I think the failing inter-cooler is favourite bet i had this on my V70 P2 which is why I suggested it ....and the black smoke and whooshing pretty much confirms it.

its aluminium and will probably be corroded and not holding pressure so welding or soldering a no go due to pressure it takes when under load.
Probably a pig to get at anyway as it sits in the middle of 3 rads in the engine....let a tech do it.( i'm quoting my repairs to my P2 though might be different though on a P!)

All in at a decent Indie will cost you about £400 but my god does it go like a greased snake when done.

I can only say that it is ok to drive for a short time until you get it fixed but get it fixed as quick as you can because it will only get worse until one day you are trailing a black smoker behind you.

My advice sort out good indie bite the bullet and have it done properly it will be off the road for a day at least ...(looked ebay for parts)

£400.... if it costs that much I will just scrap it

But on other cars I have had good resoltes with epoxy and fixing cracks, and if need be I will replace my self, but at £150 for a new one is still steap

I'd have thought that JB Weld would do the trick as long as you can get the cracks and local area 110% oil free. Maybe add 2 or 3 lengths of welding rod to add to the rigidity. What's the max it's likely to have to resist. 20PSI? You should be so lucky!
