Probably what came out of his IC after cleaning it.

ArmyBimmerDude · 04-12-2009, 02:08 PM

Holy crap. Ordering a catch can right now.

Cloud9blue · 04-12-2009, 02:25 PM

are you serious? thats how much oil is trapped in the IC?

sd390r · 04-12-2009, 02:30 PM

I've had a catch can and nothing came out of my intercooler when I switched it lol thank god

that shit is scary

wonder how you got it in the bottles like that? lol

AKbmw · 04-12-2009, 02:33 PM

how do you clean out your intercooler? i needa go do it

scottp999 · 04-12-2009, 02:34 PM

Please tell the complete story.

Sniz · 04-12-2009, 02:36 PM

he just changed his oil.....if there was THAT much oil in his stock intercooler it would be literally overflowing into his charge pipes I would think.

catch can is a seriously good idea though, I need one on my new car bad.

sd390r · 04-12-2009, 02:38 PM

It looks blue on the handle?

Cloud9blue · 04-12-2009, 02:39 PM

i seriously doubt this is all from the IC. the stock IC have to be filled to the top to have those two bottles filled to the brink.

A418t81 · 04-12-2009, 02:40 PM

I'm sure those bottles also include the solvent which he used for cleaning/filling the FMIC.

that sounds very very possible

eunosracr · 04-12-2009, 02:45 PM

No way in hell did all that come from the intercooler. As noted above that is probably oil mixed with degreaser which resulted in such large volumes.

+1. Please.

Malek@MRF · 04-12-2009, 03:03 PM

THat did not come from the IC. Most of that is the cleaning solution.

psu139 · 04-12-2009, 03:38 PM

hmm? intercooler juice and windshield washer fluid? are you doing a little meth injection?

I hope that's degreaser and oil.

E92White · 04-12-2009, 04:41 PM

so wtf is this ?? please explain.

Bubbles · 04-12-2009, 04:43 PM

A friend of mine, who is a BMW tech, flushed my intercooler. In BMW's infinite wisdom, the procedure was much more complex than it needed to be.

Front bumper came off (although I think you can do the flush without taking off the bumper) and I/C came off.

He used 2 liters of a "distilled water/cleaner" to flush the I/C. The amount of sludge that came out was surprising. The picture shows the result of the flush. We used seven gallons of distilled water to flush the system after use of the cleaner.
