Warranty

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.
This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier’s instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier’s approval.

Expert Answers
I am having trouble in seeing if i have a 7 bar or 11 bar intercooler. I have as you say looked through the grill but i still cannot work it out, what difference does it make, is it the fitment of the induction pipes. Sorry if i am being a bit thick, maybe someone could contact me .
hello , the amount of tubes denote which intercooler will fit, if you can remove the front bumper to obtain the oem part number from the intercooler and foward that to me i can advise you on which intercooler you will need.
Good evening!, (FMINT8) is it suitable for the mini one f55 102hp (stage2) 2019 (replace part oem 17517617597)?, is the assembly plug and play?, can I reuse the stock sleeves?, will there be other parts to change? I await your replies, thank you
Hello , yes the intercooler replaces the oem intercooler with the part number 17517617597 , the original hoses and couplers can be used and there is no other parts to be changed.
