ECS Tuning VW/Audi 2.0T TSI Performance Aluminum Radiator - With Installation Kit

The factory  radiator found in the VW/Audi 2.0T TSI application was engineered to only support stock power outputs and last within a set service life. All too often when more power is demanded the cooling system becomes stressed and can shed only so much heat, in so much time. The ECS Tuning in-house engineered Performance Aluminum Radiator  utilizes a larger volume, dual row, dual-pass aluminum heat exchanger that is  hand TIG-welded to  5052 aluminum end tanks and polished to perfection. Featuring a 20% increase in overall volume compared to stock,  this is a direct  replacement radiator  that  will outperform and outlast the OE unit!   PART DESIGN Our radiator utilizes all factory mounts, fan shroud, hose connections and CBFA-specific PremAir ® Sensor for a direct OE upgrade  WITHOUT modifications to any other components   Increase in +20% volume over the stock radiator. ECS Radiator measures 2.395 Liters internal volume compared to the OEM Radiator at 1.920 Liters Larger volume, dual row, dual-pass aluminum heat exchanger Pressure tested to 1.5 bar at 0% leak down to ensure quality and  leak-proof manufacturing Fabricated 5052 aluminum end tanks Fully TIG welded, featuring a polished finish     KIT CONTENTS Aluminum Radiator Radiator Fan Shroud mounting screws and washers - QTY 4 Medium Strength, Blue Threadlock Upper Radiator Mounts - QTY 2 Lower Radiator Bushing Mounts - QTY 2 G13 Coolant (Unmixed) - 3.0 Liters     PERFORMANCE FEATURES +20% increase in cooling system capacity (+0.475  Liters)   100% aluminum construction, TIG welded and pressure checked, for enhanced durability     PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Our ECS Performance Aluminum Radiator  was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.   INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT Looking for installation tips? Look no further, we put together a full installation tutorial from start to finish, including how to remove your bumper and other parts, in detail! See our Installation PDF under the INSTALLATION Tab for more information.   Due to vibrations, we recommend a few drops of medium-strength thread locking compound to be applied to the radiator fan shroud mounting screws. For your convenience, we've included a small tube for this purpose.
