CSF Radiator

[neogeo]

My car is stage three and I would like to autocross it this summer. I am considering cooling options as I prefer to keep the temps low in harder driving scenarios.

Does anyone here have real world experience with the CSF radiator? I was considering pairing this with a VWR oil cooler so that I can keep coolant and oil temps lower than with stock hardware.

I’m pretty sure that there are better options than the VWR oil cooler, but it’s the simplest to install. Paired with a better radiator should make the overall oil temps cooler anyway.

I’m also worried that there won’t be room for the radiator. I already have the IE intercooler which is thicker than stock, just like the CSF box. Can both these oversized parts fit at the same time?

Thanks.

Guy on FB by the name of Karl Taht successfully installed both. Said it's tight but fits. Same route I plan on going on a A3

Thank you. I’llm going to give it a shot in the spring. At least I now know it can be done. I can’t get the links to work but the pictures help.

Yeah it's a private group. Probably have to join to see. It's the main mqb GTI/R group
