In today’s video I explain how the Landcruiser VDJ200 series intercooler setup works, how to remove it and how to clean it out to maximise efficiency and performance. This easy and quick maintain tip is essential for those who own modern day turbo diesel vehicles.

I show how the air travels through the intake system of the Landcruiser V8 twin turbo diesel and why we need an intercooler mounted in our engine bay to increase performance.

I provide step by step instructions to remove your intercooler and the associated wiring and vacuum hoses safely and without damage.

We then put the intercooler through a thorough chemical degrease and clean to ensure all oil residue is removed, providing us with a clean and efficient intercooler that will lower intake temperatures and increase performance.

At the end of today’s video I test the vehicle using OBDII software and factory charged air intake temperature gauges to test against a base line reading to see exactly how much of a difference an intercooler clean actually makes to your 4WD turbo diesel.

The vehicle I was working on today is a 2014 Toyota Landcruiser 200 series Sahara. Engine 4.5L V8 Twin turbo diesel.
