Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
An air to air intercooler uses airflow over and through it to accomplish this, while an air to liquid intercooler uses engine coolant pumped through the intercooler to help bring the temperature down.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can someone tell me what it does? It supposedly cools the charged gases from the turbo but how does it do that? Is it like a radiator? Whats the internals of the intercooler. I see air to air and air to liquid. How does it all work. Does the intercooler lower the intake air to the engine? Regards. Mike

Mike</strong><hr></blockquote> Mike, an intercooler is very much like a radiator through which the heated pressurized intake charge from the turbo passes on it's way to the engine and helps bring down the temperature before it gets to the combustion chamber (cooler air is denser and hence contains more oxygen than hot air .... more oxygen means more power) An air to air intercooler uses airflow over and through it to accomplish this, while an air to liquid intercooler uses engine coolant pumped through the intercooler to help bring the temperature down.
