Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a
turbo-compressor to force air into the engine
inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to cool
the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase
in air flow raises pressure in the intake
manifold and increases engine power over that
developed by A normally-aspirated engine.
The charge air cooler (which resembles a
radiator) is located between the
turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.

Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast highway driving may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000 km) of driving. When installing new plugs, be sure to fit the right type and use correct torque. When changing the plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced. When changing the spark plugs, clean the terminals and the rubber seals.
