Oil cooler kit VR6 complete with 16 rows oil cooler with thermostat black

Oil Cooler Kit for VW VR6 – 16-row with thermostat

With this high-quality 16-row oil cooler kit for VW VR6 engines you get a high-performance, temperature-controlled solution for additional engine oil cooling. The integrated thermostat in the oil filter adapter ensures that the external oil cooler is activated only when the oil temperature rises.

During the warm-up phase, the oil circuit remains largely closed, allowing the engine oil to reach its optimal operating temperature more quickly. At higher oil temperatures, the thermostat opens and directs the oil through the 16-row oil cooler. Depending on the vehicle, outside temperature, driving style, and engine load, the oil temperature can typically be reduced by approx. 10–30 °C.

Advantages of the VW VR6 Oil Cooler Kit

• 16-row high-performance oil cooler
• Integrated thermostat in the oil filter adapter
• Temperature-controlled activation of the external oil cooler
• Reaching the optimal oil temperature more quickly
• No continuous flow through the oil cooler during the warm-up phase
• High additional cooling capacity as the oil temperature rises
• Reduced oil temperature under high engine load
• More stable oil temperatures during spirited driving
• Lower thermal load on the engine and engine oil
• Particularly suitable for VR6 Turbo and performance conversions
• High-quality steel-braided hoses and D08 fittings
• Robust components for tuning, motorsports, and performance applications

High-quality components for the VR6 oil circuit

The oil filter adapter features an integrated thermostat, which regulates the oil flow based on the oil temperature. As a result, the external oil cooler is only actively flowed through when additional cooling capacity is needed.

The 16-row oil cooler features D08 connections with 3/4-16 UNF threads. The included steel-braided hoses provide a secure and flexible connection between the oil filter adapter and the oil cooler.

The included extension bolt for VR6 engines is precision-machined using CNC technology and is made of high-quality stainless steel.

Suitable for VW VR6 models manufactured through 1997

The 16-row oil cooler kit with thermostat is designed for VW VR6 engines manufactured through 1997.

Important note: For VW VR6 models manufactured in 1996 or later the corresponding screw-on metal cover from VW must also be used or purchased.

Scope of Delivery

• 1x 16-row oil cooler
• 1x oil filter adapter with integrated thermostat
• 2x adapter screws, D08 / 3/4-16 UNF
• 2x steel-braided hoses, D08 / 3/4-16 UNF
• 1x extension bolt for VR6, CNC-machined from high-quality stainless steel

Ideal for VR6 Turbo and performance conversions

For VR6 turbo engines, performance-optimized VR6 engines, and vehicles used for spirited driving oil temperature can rise significantly under high and prolonged loads. The 16-row oil cooler provides additional cooling capacity and helps keep oil temperature at a lower level even under high loads.

The integrated thermostat offers a decisive advantage over a permanently open oil cooler: During the warm-up phase, the engine oil is not unnecessarily routed through the external cooler. Only when the oil reaches the appropriate temperature is the oil cooler’s additional cooling capacity utilized.
