Blown intercooler

Freelander 2 has been playing up so I took it into the main stealers today. Blown intercooler and a blown intercooler hose.

Was told that the intercooler failing was a known fault!

£300 to have the intercooler replaced and new pipes.

Any comments?

blown? as in split? corroded?, internal collapse? had its matrix become blocked with either mud or grass seeds for example ? At work

Have not seen an intercooler "blown" in all time involved with high performance competition vehicles or with Ford vehicles over a good many years.
I have seem many units fail in connection with faulty/blown turbos which fill intercooler with engine oil. Can usually be cleaned at time.
If off road a lot they can be clogged externally, but just need a wash.
Have also seen the consequencies of some garages fitting new turbo without checking intercooler, 2 days later telling customer "you need a new engine" All FL2's (3) Gone

That's a reasonable cost, my old Xtrail cost me £600.

Mileage 39000. And yes it does go off road, but is always cleaned properly afterwards.

Leak was at one end. Will post a photo when I get it from the stealer. 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

I note in my car's history the intercooler pipe was split and replaced. I have experienced an intercooler pipe blow on a 18 ton truck - deafening noise and complete loss of power! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)
