Intercooler does not fit
Hey

I have a LHD One Ten converted to a 200Tdi. I originally used the wide radiator from the TD and a fullsize intercooler in front of it, but they needed replacement so I bought a proper frame plus radiator plus intercooler for the 200Tdi. The intercooler is from Allisport, what a great product ... but the part doesn't fit when I put the frame into the mounts because the lower pipe has no space because of the steering box (in the picture below I did not mount the frame, instead it sits in front of the mounts just to demonstrate the situation).



What could be done about this, what am I missing here?

Does anyone have any pictures of a 200Tdi (original, left-hand drive) that shows how everything is supposed to look like when assembled correctly (originally)?

cheers!
Philippe

I do not know if this will help but I also have an Alisport intercooler fitted to a 200TDi albeit a right-hand drive. Mine was fitted at the front of a full-size radiator and I had no problems in fitting it. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Thanks, this would work I guess, but I have a double core intercooler which is a direct replacement for the original intercooler - and it's only so tight because it's a LHD (steering box).

When ordering the intercooler did you advise them it was for a LHD? ONE LIFE, GET IT!

Another thing that struck me, the mounts for the frame / radiator look different on mine and are positioned much more towards the engine. I thought the chassis is the same from 1987 on, am I wrong?
