AIRTEC Motorsport Uprated Auxiliary Radiator (DSG & Engine) for VW Golf Mk7/Mk8 R, Audi S3, Seat Leon, Audi TT

AIRTEC Motorsport Uprated Auxiliary Radiators for DSG or Engine Coolant

As part of our expanding Audi/VW and Seat product ranges, AIRTEC Motorsport is proud to launch our uprated auxiliary radiators for DSG or engine coolant suitable for track or fast road use.

The Issue:

During extended periods of track or fast road use, particularly for cars with increased power, both the DSG transmission’s oil and the engine’s coolant can reach temperatures that are too high to offer sufficient cooling protection properties. As a result, there is a risk of damaging the transmission and/or engine, causing the car’s ECU to automatically limit the engine’s torque output and extend the gearbox’s shift times, resulting in reduced responsiveness. It can even cause permanent damage if it persistently overheats.

The Solution:

AIRTEC Motorsport’s solution to improving the DSG’s and engine’s running temperatures is to increase the size, capacity, and ability of the original auxiliary radiators mounted behind either side of the bumper. By utilizing the available space, we have developed a replacement radiator that is wider and thicker. This means the capacity is increased by a huge 67% over standard, while the frontal area is also increased to help sufficiently cool the extra capacity.

The core also features a quadruple pass design, which forces coolant entering it to pass up and down the core four times before it exits, increasing the time the coolant passes through the radiator to further decrease temperatures. The result is a radiator that is able to keep cooler for longer, therefore helping the car run at its optimum for longer.

Despite the increases, the radiators fit neatly behind the bumper and require only minor trimming of the original air duct to fit, using the OEM mounts and the original coolant connectors. To protect the larger radiator core from road debris, there is also a removable stone guard.

Finished in a high-quality powder-coated black finish, the fitting kit includes all fixtures and a detailed instruction fitting guide.
