Intercooler

Evening all, I've replaced the turbo and now need to clean the intercooler. Can I do it in situ or do i have to remove it? If so do I really have to remove the bumper and fan 1st? Looks a bit if a ballache just to do a simple job

Egr

Just had new turbo on was awesome but now sounds a bit rough and coming up with 404 egr fault? The egr has been blanked off and never shown a fault til now. Split hose? Pressure sensor?

Cheers James

Turbo removal

So along with all the other problems I've had I now need a new turbo. Anyone else done this on the drive at home? Can I change it from underneath or do I have to strip the bugger down like I did for the manifold? Tia
