I have a Euro 6 MAN TGM *2015. We’ve had ongoing intercooler issues and replacement intercoolers since we brought it new. Eventually, the conrod came off and through engine block which we believe is down to faulty intercooler and water in the oil.Does anyone have any thoughts or experienced similar issues?.
All sorts of possibilities especially if the engine ECU has been mapped. Increased boost pressure weakens and then blows the intercooler, over time the turbo then has to work harder to maintain boost and possibly fails chucking debris into the induction. The loss of pressure and heat dissipation capacity from the leaking intercooler raises exhaust gas temperatures, possibly sufficiently on a long climb to result in piston seizure which breaks the conrod. Said exhaust gas temperatures equally capable of degrading liner seals or head gaskets allowing coolant into sump. Unlikely maybe but not impossible.
