Racingline VWR18G700 oil cooler kit Audi, Cupra, Skoda, Seat, VW 1.8/2.0 TSI / TFSI (EA888 Gen 3 / Gen 4, MQB / MQB Evo platform)

The Oil Cooler from RacingLine is a complete kit to suit all MQB & MQB EVO 1.8/2.0 TSI models. An essential fit for any hard-driven EA888.3 or EAA888.4 engine running high power levels or in hot climates, this is a complete kit with everything needed for straightforward and reliable installation.

The RacingLine kit solves the problem of overheating oil caused by high power or hard driving: by adding in an additional air to oil cooler positioned right in the airflow at the front of the car, oil temperatures are reduced by around 15° - 20° degrees centigrade. The 10-row stacked plate cooler design forces the hot oil through a series of aluminium pressed plates right in the cold airflow in the front of the car. A clever sandwich plate design mounted underneath the oil filter is key to the RacingLine design, meaning installation is straightforward and reliable.

Not only that, but the RacingLine kit retains the factory oil to water cooler and adds to it with the front-mounted cooler - doubling up cooling capability and transferring less heat into the car’s water system.

Our Oil Cooler Kit is an essential fit for any hard-driven MQB or MQB 'Evo' 1.8/2.0 TSI car running high power levels or in hot climates. It's a complete ready to install package, using a clever sandwich plate design for straightforward and reliable installation.

Adding power to these 1.8/2.0 TSI engines generates more heat to disperse. Significantly increased oil temperatures means only one thing: a decrease in the ability for your engine to stay properly lubricated. At the same time, it's really important not to over-cool the oil; our 10-row kit is perfect.

• Under hard driving, the stock oil cooler is easily overwhelmed. Failures start to occur when oil cannot dissipate its collected heat fast enough and the oil begins to thin and degrade - losing its lubrication properties.
• The RacingLine kit solves this problem: by adding in an additional air to oil cooler positioned right in the airflow in the front of the car, oil temperatures are reduced by around 15 - 20 degrees centigrade (of course dependant on how the car is being used, ambient temps and state of tune).
• Our kit retains the factory oil to water cooler and adds to it with the front-mounted cooler - doubling up your cooling capability with less heat transfer into the water system.
• As the oil moves away from the heat inside the engine, its temperature drops significantly as it is pumped through the densely packed fins of the 10-row cooler’s large surface area mounted right in the cool airflow.
• Supplied as a complete kit with every part ready for install.

NOTE: 2015 AND OLDER CARS MAY ALSO REQUIRE FITMENT OF VWG PART 06L115678Q (A PLASTIC OIL STEM INSERT). THIS IS A RUNNING UPGRADE FROM VWG DEALERS SO MOST CARS WILL HAVE HAD THIS PART UPDATED DURING EARLIER OIL CHANGES.
