Last night I was returning from Sears Point and I thought that it started to rain. I then realized that the rain was actually thousands of bugs. I drove through what I thought was a dust cloud, but it turned out to be bugs. My question is, I have all of these little bugs in my intercooler and radiator. How in the hell do you get them out? I've tried with the hose and that doesn't work. If there were only a few, I'd pick them out by hand, but there are a lot.

 

Goto one of those local cash wash deals and power wash the **** out of the spots they should come off pretty easy on high pressure rinse or high pressure soap.

Now you can clean your I/C this way BUT!!! do NOT do this while its HOT!!! you listening? Last thing i need to hear is some foo cracked the block becuase his engine was too hot.

Try scouting one thats pretty close to where you live that way the drive to the spot won't heat up the block enough to really damage any internals when you blast it down

 

Did that happen on HWY 37 in between Sears Point and 101? My brother and I were coming home around the same time last year and he had the window down. He got a bug in his mouth and another in his eye. I think they live out there in that farm land.

DO NOT use a power washer. It will bend all of the fins on your intercooler. Soften them up with water, with your engine cold, and then wipe them up with a towel or pick them out by hand.

Yep, they were only on that strip. I couldn't believe how many bugs there were!

 

Try vaccuming them out ...
Or burn them to a crisp and then wash them off.
