antlockyer Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Check this out. Horrid rotting foam on the back of my intercooler. I've not seen this on other pictures. Seen it before? Standard part? Replaceable? Looks like crap so I need to do something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have seen it on the top of bike and car radiators - it is there to get the air to flow through the fins not over the top, you can replace it for a better look or fashion a plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Mines all sticky so i've just left itas it's black you can't really see it. Dread to think how hard it will be to remove it as i guess it will only come off in little lumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Id remove IC itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antlockyer Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Id remove IC itself And replace it with a new one? I think taking it off and using heat, scrapers and chemicals will do the trick. Then I'll look for the right kind of foam to replace it with.

Then I'll look for the right kind of foam to replace it with. no, just to scrape the old stuff off and replace - will stop all the crud burning off on the exhaust pipes etc and smelling if you did it in situ plus back ache leaning over to get it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
