What is on top of t6 150ps engine?

[Ludo74]

Hi all,
New on this forum. I bought a t6 calif 2016 with 11000kms.
On top of the engine seems to have a intercooler, what exactly is? How do you access glow plug ? Don't have to change right now but I'm learning my new toy ;-)
Thx all,
Regards.

Thx u all. Seems a nightmare to remove ? Agree or well documented and in fact just have to move without removing pipes?

Are there any front mounted intercooler solutions yet?

Thats the charge cooler sat on top, the biggest difference between the older EU5 engines (that dont have one) and your EU6 engine

Ok thx. So is it needed to remove liquid cooled then charge cooler to change glow plug ? Is it documented how to remove it for all regular engine maintenances (injector issue, glow plug replacement...) ? Best regards.

I find what i was looking for. Thx u all. That help me to focus on charger intercooler. Air/water ... will be funny to change glow plug on cxfa engine ! Cross finger to wait 40000kms more.
