Decided I'm gonna take my intercooler out for a clean while I wait on the roll bar bushes arriving from Portugal.
Does the front bumper need removed to do this.
Any one ever flushed one out before. Seems to be weeping a bit of oil
Thanks

I've got a nosejob and the bumper needed removing to get to mine, can't imagine the ugly bug would be any different.
Bumper removal is pretty straightforward, although there are some fixings behind the wheel arch liner, bit of penetrating fluid the night before helps!

They weep oil because the rocker cover breather goes into the intake duct behind the radiator about half way down, any oil vapour condenses out at the intercooler.
