VW Golf MK7 GTI / Golf R / Audi A3 S3 8V 1.8T 2.0T Bar and Plate Intercooler - Black

Product Overview

This black bar and plate intercooler is listed for the Volkswagen Golf MK7 GTI and Golf R and the Audi A3 and S3 8V with 1.8T and 2.0T engines. A larger, more efficient core helps reduce intake air temperatures after the turbocharger, which supports consistent performance during repeated hard driving and on cars with increased boost. The listing references 70 mm connections, and the black finish keeps the core discreet behind the grille.

• Core size approx. 20.47 x 5.12 x 5.31 inch

Installation and Usage

Intercooler replacement generally involves removing the front bumper and factory intercooler, transferring or replacing the charge pipe connections and mounting the new core. Use quality couplers and clamps, and pressure test the system for boost leaks after installation. Check that the core does not restrict airflow to the radiator excessively. Professional installation by a workshop experienced with turbocharged VW and Audi models is recommended.
