Audi A3 8V Sportback Limousine Convertible 2012–2020 Radiator Core Support 8V0805588

Product overview

A new radiator core support frame (front end carrier) in black for the Audi A3 8V range, referenced to OE-reference number 8V0805588. It provides the structure at the front of the car that carries the radiator, condenser, headlights and bonnet lock. When this frame is cracked or pushed out of shape in a front-end collision, replacing it is essential to restore correct alignment of the surrounding panels.

Vehicle compatibility

The listed fitment table contains 139 entries, concentrated on the Audi A3 8V from approximately 2012 to 2020. This includes the A3 three-door (8V1), Sportback (8VA, 8VF), Limousine (8VS, 8VM) and Convertible (8V7, 8VE) with engines such as the 1.2, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.8 TFSI, 1.6 and 2.0 TDI, 30 TFSI, S3 quattro and RS3 quattro. A small number of entries refer to the earlier 8P Sportback, which uses a different carrier and should be disregarded.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

This is a substantial repair involving removal of the front bumper, headlights, cooling pack and bonnet lock. The air-conditioning circuit may need to be recovered and recharged. A panel beater or qualified technician should carry out the work. After installation, check panel gaps, headlight aim and the operation of any front parking sensors or radar.

Fitment checks before ordering

RS3 and high-output models can use different cooling components that affect the carrier. Send us your VIN or your existing carrier number so we can confirm the right part before you purchase.
