class=\"esp-lead\"\u003eThe factory radiator found in 2.0 TFSI-equipped B8s was designed for stock output—not high-performance. When pushed to the limit, its weak plastic end tanks will quickly become a limiting factor. After years of exposure to engine bay heat and chemical-laden antifreeze, the OE plastic end tanks are prone to leaking and cracking, posing the risk of a costly engine overheat. What's more, the flimsy single-row core does a poor job of dissipating heat, especially in tuned and modified applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered in-house by our dedicated team of Audi enthusiasts, our High-Performance Aluminum Radiator offers a significant upgrade in both cooling capacity and durability. This direct-fit replacement features a dual-row, 40mm aluminum core for superior thermal efficiency and a substantial increase in coolant volume over the factory unit. Our design ditches the OE radiator's weak plastic end tanks in favor of TIG-welded 5052 aluminum pieces, a significant upgrade in durability and longevity. CNC-machined tabs and connectors ensure seamless integration with the factory hoses, fan shroud, and accessories, providing a trouble-free fit and easy installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.ecstuning.com\/product_library\/1964318_x800.jpg\" alt=\"B8 A4 \/ A5 2.0T Performance Aluminum Radiator\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5052 aluminum construction eliminates plastic end tank failures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA performance-oriented dual-row core provides a 45% increase in overall core thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e— OE Radiator: Single-row, 22mm thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e— ECS Performance Aluminum Radiator: Dual-row, 40mm thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIG-welded 5052 aluminum end tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined connectors and bracketry ensure seamless fitment with factory radiator hoses, transmission cooler lines, condenser, and intercooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop-in upgrade - no modifications required for installation!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Development\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Performance Aluminum Radiator was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio, facility.
