Getting Rid of The Oil!!!!!!

[pushermanR]

Just about to fit a new clutch to they old 'P' but while im doing that i wanna give the intercooler and plenum/throttle bodies a good clean out...get rid of oil that has mounted up over time...Wots the best way for cleaning them and wot else should i be cleaning thats got 2do with the air system..

Carb cleaner or petrol

Have you still got the standard breather system :?: cos theres a pipe on it that goes from the rocker cover to the air filter-turbo pipe which is usually the cause of the oil in the intercooler

Either that or your turbo is on its way out :lol:

Had full turbo rebuild done recently by a good company...There is oil because my mate got a bit carried away with the oil levels :lol: :lol: ..I think i will give all the air intake system a right good clean and totally clear the oil from the overfilling problem and yes its still got the crap orig breather system..

whilst we're on the same topic how do you get oil off of driveways? Got a small patch on the driveway where my container had a leak when i was doing an oil change and cant get rid of the bloody stuff! Tried everything apart form petrol! :lol:

You can get some driveway cleaner stuff, but I don't know what it's called. Try Halfords or a motor factors.

Brake and clutch cleaner for both
