Obviously you were just upset with that ungrateful machine constantly costing you $$$ for new parts.

I think we should all torture our jeeps every time they cost us $$$ for parts. Show 'em who's boss! They'll toe the line... or else!

(sorry, that wasn't any help at all)

Hopefully, someone from Europe will chime in.

Unfortunately, we never had the VM here in the states.

How much water and how much pressure did you use? If this was indeed the engine-side of the intercooler I wouldn't be too worried... Rip it apart and take a look. Air filter may be quite soggy.
