Unlike other DSG oil cooler kits, the RacingLine package keeps the oil/water cooler and adds to it with the oil/air cooler
10 row stacked-plate oil cooler radiator, flowed to obtain maximum heat dissipation without undue pressure drop
Optimum front mounted location behind left side front lower grill aperture with all necessary brackets and fixing kit supplied
210 Series stainless steel, nylon braided feed and return lines run past the chassis leg into the bumper cavity, then connecting to the oil cooler core
Our DSG Cooler design is a unique design: it retains the factory oil/water gearbox cooling system, plus adds our oil/air cooling as well. Why?
The DSG oil will still quickly warm up from the hot water in the engine's coolant system, reaching full operating temperature as soon as possible.
But that's where the problem begins on a hard-driven car. The hot engine coolant will now have little to no cooling effect on the DSG oil, and gearbox temps start to rise rapidly.
That's the point at which our sophisticated thermostatic control valve inside the adaptor block will then divert hot oil out to the new 10-row cooler located in the cool fresh air flow.
After the cooled transmission oil returns from the cooler, it carries less heat to be absorbed into the engine coolant system - helping control all the temperatures under the bonnet.
Our replacement oil/water cooler (that's the silver part in the picture) is lower in height than the factory one. So the total height of both parts still fits perfectly under the battery location above it.
WHAT'S IN THE KIT?
Oil cooler mounting brackets
AN10 210 series Nylon braided feed and return line
Billet CNC thermostatic adaptor block
Replacement, low-profile oil/water cooler
AN10 10-row oil/air cooler core
Fitting kit containing all necessary nuts, bolts, washers and rubber mounting bobbins
BRACKET SETS
The kit for all MQB cars comes supplied with two bracket kits. One kit is for Audi S3 models, the other is for all Golf 7 and other MQB models.
Mounting for the bracket set requires drilling bolt holes through the front crash bar.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM ON TRACK?
When oil temperature reaches 138°C/280°F, the DSG's control system initiates a reduction in engine torque, meaning a serious drop in performance.
Carry on driving, and if temperatures then rise above 145°C/293°F, your DSG clutches no longer get the fluid pressure they require and you loose drive altogether as the box goes into a safety mode.
If you're in a hot climate this can happen after only about 15 minutes at the track - meaning a long wait while your gearbox cools down again.
PRECISION ENGINEERED FOR PERFECT PERFORMANCE.
Sophisticated thermostatic control adaptor block to divert oil flow around new cooling system - but only when needed
Billet gloss-anodised for long-lasting protection and good looks
Oil lines with protective outer nylon braid strengthened by a stainless steel inner weave for maximum resilience.
T6 6061 CNC aluminium used throughout for precision accurate fit
10-row stacked plate-design cooler efficiently forces the hot oil through a series of aluminium pressed plates.
