Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 17y 2m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 17/11/10 07:45 AM Share Posted 17/11/10 07:45 AM Hi all just wondering if anyone knows if an upgraded intercooler effects an insurance claim? The way I see it is that the car comes with a front mount and I've just chosen to swap it for a better performing one. has anyone been in this situation if so what was the result. I'm with NRMA Will I have too put the stock one back one etc...looking forward to your comments.Veva Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71698-intercoolers-and-insurance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy I think didn't even notice the aftermarket cooler (which I find strange considering it takes up the whole front bar).So all rosey and already booked into my preferred repairer!Still though might be an idea now to add the cooler to the policy anyways!

I have a friend who had a car insured with APIA and when he told them he had different wheels and suspension they expressed posted him a cancelation of his policy. Hopefully NRMA are more accommodating. I'd be telling them you were thinking of buying one and would they cover the additional modification.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71698-intercoolers-and-insurance/#findComment-1101473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
