Oil residue in Intercooler intake pipe.

Post by Mario6806 »

Hi Guys, recently I cleaned the throttle body on my C250 2014/2015 and found oil residue on the intercooler intake pipe. I decided to clean the TB just for the sake of it, the car runs ok but found the intake pipe coming from the turbo slightly oily. Is this something I should keep an eye on?, is it normal? Please see attached pictures.

I would describe that as normal. What mileage has it done?

at the moment it has 95K, so far so good.
I made a video to help people out and clean the throttle body and that's where I found the oil in the intercooler but my hard drive died and lost the video clips, bad luck
