pd150 intercooler

[lam121]

just some quick questions:

anyone have any pictures of the pd150 intercooler?
anyone completed a successful conversion from stock to pd150 intercooler?

I ask because I ordered/received a part from Monaco Motors in the UK that looks more like a radiator than an intercooler.

Some have suggested that in order to do the PD150 IC swap from stock in a 1.9 TDI it's best to also use the PD150 radiator and a couple other key parts for fitment issues. That the total cost/installation comes out to about what an aftermarket FMIC kit comes to...

Now for the part you ordered and received...maybe post the part number and someone can verify what it is you have in hand. It's OEM VW, yes?

Thought about this FMIC for down the road because hey, they're cheap as a standalone part...but if a whole lot of work with other parts needs to be done...who knows...

So post a part number.

Jim Dieselgeek investigated this a few years ago. If I recall correctly, the radiator support and radiator are different from the ALH.

WHere's Lito when you need him?

Yes.

Isn't putting the condenser in front of the intercooler a little... not optimal??!

I've installed 150 PD intercooler in Skoda Octavia TDI but it's the same as in Golf IV

part no. - 1J0145803H

the pd150 radiator would have helped because i believe that it has cut outs, or at least indentations, for the mounts on the pd150 intercooler. hopefully it wont be that big of a deal.

thanks for the link, at least the pic confirms that i have the intercooler. was the conversion relatively easy without the pd150 radiator?

I think that all the Golfs will require to buy a Euro-Bumper and Euro Rad support in order for the FMIC to fit..
The Jettas have the same as in Europe...

Does anyone know the part number for the euro radiator for a MK4 Golf?

If I am putting on the euro raditor support do I NEED to put on the raditor at the same time or could this be done later? In other words will my current us spec radiator fit the euro spec support?

Thanks
Bill

It should fit with just the Euro Rad-support but ...not sure if it'll fit WITH the PD150 IC
