VW A4: ALH TDI Intercooler Draining (Reminder)
When & Where Needed: **** Raise & support the vehicle safely according to Manufacturer Jacking & Supporting Positions!!! **** Rate, Comment, Share, Subscribe, Let the Ads play... I'm still paying off my tools!! Tool or Coffee & Donut Donations welcome at my website below!! http://fkh161.ca/ Discuss this video in the Subscribed Members Forum: http://exovcds.freeforums.org/ With enough oil and under high boost levels, this oil can get pushed up into the Intake Manifold and cause the engine to "Runaway" and break a Connecting Rod! It has happened to me!! That's why I ALWAYS drain the cooler! The bottom of the cooler has a "baffle / plate" that is supposed to hinder the oil from traveling up the cooler in large quantity... but this baffle does not work if too much oil is present! ALH TDI's are prone to more oil collecting in the cooler than the BEW / BRM and newer TDI's.
