With this high-quality 16-row oil cooler kit for VW VR6 engines you can improve the cooling capacity of the engine oil circuit and create additional thermal reserves for sporty driving and performance-optimized engines. Thanks to the larger cooling surface area of the 16-row oil cooler, the kit is particularly well-suited for VR6 turbo conversions, performance-tuned VR6 engines, and performance vehicles.
The oil cooler is operates without a thermostat and is therefore permanently integrated into the oil circuit. This ensures that the engine oil is continuously routed through the external oil cooler, effectively dissipating the generated heat into the surrounding environment. Depending on the vehicle, outside temperature, driving style, and engine load, the oil temperature can typically be reduced by approx. 10–30 °C reduced.
The VW VR6 Oil Cooler Kit features D08 connections with 3/4-16 UNF threads. The included steel-braided hoses provide a flexible and secure 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.
The 16-row oil cooler kit is designed for VW VR6 engines manufactured through 1997.
Important note: For VW VR6 models manufactured in 1996 or later the corresponding bolt-on metal cover from VW must also be used or purchased.
For VR6 turbo engines, performance-tuned VR6 engines, and sports cars can rise significantly under heavy load. The 16-row oil cooler provides additional cooling capacity and helps keep oil temperature at a lower level even during high engine output and prolonged operation.
