Yes it has worked well. No fan on it. 40K miles on it and only regular maintenance. LOVIN IT!!!
The wife's TDi died a couple of times on her just after she left the parking garage at work... It was deemed to be a small amount of water that had gotten into the intercooler that was sloshing around & would coincidently block the port, a check valve & new intercooler were the fix.
Now on a separate note I decided to put a Golf R intercooler in the car this weekend.
