Hey, so many of you know, i am new here, and just got an srt4 a month ago. Today i went to change the oil, and put the car on stands for the first time so i could look under it. i noticed the pipe going from the intercooler to the throttle body had mass amounts of gunky oil build up all over it and neer the pipe clamp, there was fresher oil. as far as i know it went 70000 mi. with no CC, so no good. i put one in a couple weeks ago so were good now, i htink i have to take those parts off now and clean them (intercooler, throttle body?)... what do u guys think?

 

You could take them off and clean them all out but you dont necessarily have to

 

The catch can should help catch that oil. Which catch can did u get?

 

I would clean it when i replace it if I were you.... Unless you are really bored one weekend lol

 

thanks for the input guys, i think i might just take off the intercooler and clean it some day soon just to have peace of mind lol. and i didnt really buy a cc i did the homemade one, seemed easier and does the same thing, just doesnt look as clean. But do you think thats my problem with the build up? that the oil is comming outa the intercooler?

 

I won't hurt to clean it all out. It's kinda hard for the intercooler to do its job right with a coating of oil on the inside......
