and i didn't see, until now, that OP said it was for the supercharged ones.

and after cudajoe's post i thought this was just a troll thread



and this
Who's trolling? My car wont start anymore. The Dealership said they can not fix it under warranty as I have voided it because of intercooler fluid.

I knew he was talking about a SS S/C. I just thought intercooler fluid was funny. Thats like calling oil 'engine fluid' or calling gas "car fluid"

Cuda, when you get that fixed, add a mixture of 20 sand / 30 dex cool / 50 water... it'll port and polish your TB and intake manifold

Finally had time to look around under the hood last night and found the reason the intercooler was empty. The hose on the right side isn't hooked up. I guess it has been bypassed for some reason? The car always tops off between 180 and 200 for temp so its not overheating.

Hose on the right side isn't supposed to be hooked up.

Coolant reading on the DIC is irrelevant to the heat exchanger.

Keep filling the tube, it's being sucked down.

Best way - remove cap, turn car on, pour coolant, rev high, coolant gets sucked down, repeat until full.

technically best way would be to get an option b which cycles all air out of your system for you and very quickly. but for the sake of being a stock engine and you being new to the car i will say follow his direction as previously stated.

the intercooler pump is a constant speed so why rev high?

Does the intercooler use any fluid from the coolant reservoir if it gets low?
