DukeTrout Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 OK, Soap = Bad!!! Is there a wax/polish that intracooler safe? I use the wax-as-you-dry spray stuff and sometimes some overspray gets inside the scoop. Should I be worried? The wax actually helps disperse the soap, minimizing the damage if you do accidently get soap on your intercooler. Plus, it gives the cool side of your turbo that wonderful carnuba wax smell! Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The Spec.B intercooler is actually filled with freon for superior cooling. thats why it doesnt need a scoop plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewLegGT67 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 If you see "ILL." displayed on your dash, it's due to the Intercooler Lather Lock sensor. The number after "ILL." is a measurement of the relative amount of soap present. I L L = Classic ILL3 or less is drivable (limp mode). But an ILL4 or higher and you better get a tow to the dealer.

ih8vtec13 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Don't worry for the trans cooler if it is those that come painted black with the Andi Soap coating. The condenser and Rad are still in danger. I am kind of worried that I will drive by someone washing their car and my trans cooler will fall off and drag the ground and cause a trans failure now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix991 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Yeah, can't get soap in the BD's intercooler man. It would like melt it or something. Figured the professionals that were trained how to do it should do the cleaning. THANK GOD FOR SUBARU TRAINED STAFF!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsessotron Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 This isn't a concern, if it was a problem I am sure Subaru engineers would have addressed this ages ago when they started using hood scoops and top mount intercoolers. Think of all the Outback XTs driven by soccer moms across the continent, I doubt they have ever even considered this and for good reason...its not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncretter Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 That's just what they want you to think...Subaru made $3.4 million last year off replacement intercoolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
