    Default Rad or Intercooler?

    Chaps,

    Hope I've attached this pic properly, please can you tell me if this is a Radiator or Intercooler for a DTI? I've bought this advertised on Ebay as a rad, however the guy selling has called to say he thinks it's advertised wrong and is an intercooler. He's a genuine guy so called before sending.

    He seems to think the three rads front to back are; AIR CON, RAD, INTERCOOLER. I think the intercooler is in the middle and the rad at the back with the fans.

    I've not had a chance to check my vehicle fully but have been told my leak is the rad. HELP!

    Man that sucks for me!!! Well I guess I'll double check that's not the part that's leaking on mine and get a refund. Stupid question but an inter cooler is part of the coolant system, not like a bike oil-cooler rad is it?

    it cools the air going in to the engine to make it denser for burning basicly its an rad for air with just air going in and coming out.

    Coolant (as well as oil) can get into the intercooler if you have a problem elsewhere.
