Right then, You can call these hoses what you like but, i just removed them and went for a drive to the shop to collect Jack, pressed the dash switch, pressed the set button on the steering wheel at 40mph and guess what,
Yep, no cruise control. At the shop i reconnected the hoses and on the trip home, well, take another guess???
They definately have something to do with the Cruise control, don't know what but without them the CC don't work.

My completely random way out there guess would be something along the lines of if the engine ECU doesnt know whats going on with the EGR (whatever does go on with it) then it maybe uses a restricted set of fuel mappings or something as well as diasbling cruise control as it can't figure out how to apply the throttle to drive the vehicle??
This is a completely random guess and probably way off base!

Hi decided to do my intercooler this afternoon and take it to work tonight and flush out,but,after removing battery cover, slam panel and grill,( 6 screws in this )the drivers side bolt hidden by a plastic cover ! Removed this and with aid of a socket knuckle as previously described got last bolt out but even with hoses removed it wont budge ?. Do you have to remove the twin fan assembly first or is there another bolt somewhere.Mine is a 2000DHSE, any difference there ?

Hi, found em !!. 2bolts under foam diffuser that is on top of the rad. Took em out , pulled off expansion tank pipe and mauled it out.The foam must stop the rad from vibrating against the slam panel ! Onyx
hi
mine is a 95 DT so there must be some modification across the years, i take it you have drained the radiator expansion tank if so remember and cover the fuse box with a plastic bag before you refill it just incase you spill water over it

I don't know what the differences are but i didn't go anywhere near the expansion tank.

i reckon its to do with air condition (which i don't have) as the air conditioning condenser is attached to the inter-cooler

I got air con but condenser isn't connected to ic in any way.
Got any pics?
i cant give picks as i said i don't have air con i was looking at Rave page 328 and it says (remove the 2 bolt securing inter cooler to air conditioning condenser) your saying it not connected in any way, well i don't know

Must be a different setup as you said.

There are indeed 6 screws but you only need remove the top 4 as the grille doesn't have to be removed completely. Its only to allow the slam panel to be removed.Hi decided to do my intercooler this afternoon and take it to work tonight and flush out,but,after removing battery cover, slam panel and grill,( 6 screws in this )the drivers side bolt hidden by a plastic cover !

as far as i am aware the intercoolers are all the same on the p38 diesels upto 2001/02--- after a while they become coated in oily crud restricting the cooling capacity of the air, so cleaning it helps to keep it running in tip top form.

If it's a rare petrol vogue you might have trouble finding the intercooler but on the diesel version it runs more efficiently, supposedly revives the lost horses and helps the engine to breath fresh instead of oily air which has been dumped in there over the years from the turbo and engine breathers.
