NOTE: If the engine experiences a turbocharger failure or any other occasion where oil or debris is put into the
charge air cooler, the charge-air cooler must be cleaned.
Flush the charge-air cooler internally with solvent in the opposite direction of normal airflow. Shake the charge-air
cooler and lightly tap on the end tanks with a rubber mallet to dislodge trapped debris. Continue flushing until all
debris or oil is removed (i.e., the water runs clear).
NOTE: Make sure that the tubes are in an upright position when flushing.
If the debris can not be totally removed from the charge-air cooler, the charge-air cooler must be replaced.
After the charge air cooler has been thoroughly cleaned of all oil and debris with solvent, wash the charge air cooler
internally with hot, soapy water to remove the remaining solvent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Blow compressed air through the inside of the charge-air cooler in the opposite direction of normal airflow until the
charge air cooler is dry internally.
Use protective caps from the Air Handling Clean Care Kit, Part Number 4919498, to cover the open points on the
charge-air cooler.
