Intercooler location
 
i have a 2003 volvo s60 2.4t. Where is the intercooler located?

behind the radiator
you will see large air hoses attached on the left and right

It's actually behind the AC condenser, and in front of the radiator.
But either way, like Nichals said, you can see the hoses that lead to the IC. Follow the black plastic pipe that runs over your engine. That will lead you to the intercooler...
Volvo in the infant wisdom decided it would be a good idea to sandwich it in there. :confused:

Looks like this...

Useless would be a bit of an understatement. Lol.
I really do think one of the best mods I have done to date was to get rid of the OEM twin intercoolers in my S60R and replace it with a proper front mount intercooler.
