Hmm, maybe it's about time I unblocked it first? Then I'll see if it needs cleaning. If only I could find the time to make a temperature-controled grill block, then I wouldn't be worried about how much to (un)block depending on the weather.
Please unblock your intercooler. Your car will use less fuel and you will generate far less NOx and your engine will last longer.

A warm air intake does nothing good on a diesel.
