I am sharing an experience with you and also wondered whether anyone else has experienced the same problem.
I have kust driven 1000miles down to Austria and while cruising
down the autobahn had ppower fall away and aloud hissing noise from under the bonnet.
Shocked Sad On inspection and a trouser change I discovered the intake hose after the intercooler had blown off.
On further inspection and 1 mile down the road, I found the braket to the intercooler cracked on one lug and the bolt from the throttle (holdin gthe other part of the bracket missing.
Sad This had led to the pipe being forced off by the pressure.
Cable ties and jubilee clips save my journey.
Razz Wink Although I am now in need off the bolts that hold the throttle on and the gasket between the elbow and throttle body.
And an intercooler bracket, can anyone recommen d a source (that want break the bank.)

Has anyone else had antthing like this happen to them?
Intercooler brackt failure ? from vibration of the diesel 4 cyc engine?

let me
know.

Regards
a relieved Trooper owner.

Yes - the intercooler bracket failed on mine too. It was replaced under warranty. At the same time, three glow plugs were replaced - requiring removal of the intercooler for access.

A week or so later, I was on holiday and got a very loud hissing noise from under the bonnet. The air hose attached to the intercooler had slipped off - I guess the mechanic who did the repair job hadn't refitted it properly.

Fortunately, fixing it back on properly took just a few seconds.
