any of you tried this??

the sandwich plate will not work for a BPY engine thats for sure

and the gti already has a water to oil , oil cooler from the factory

Yes I know it has water/oil heat exchanger, and secondary water pump to circulate coolant after ignition off to cool engine. I thought the expert like you were using oil cooler or something, and expecting an information...

Well, my AXX eng, oil temp increases so easy. Only 10 or 15 miniuits run it goes over 120C(sorry, donno F). GTI stock cooling unit is not enough for tracking. Extra volume of oil and air cooling unit required especially in summer thru autumn.

I thought Mk5 R32 has same type of oil filter unit, according this link, the pic shows this car is using sandwitch plate, and wanted some info, if anyone using same kind of product.

That kit wont fit UNLESS you have a SPIN ON OIL FILTER from the factory we here in the us have canister type oil filters. If you have to put a cooler on your car you will have to change the complete filter assembly and convert it to a type that uses a spin on filter , it lists S-3 audi uses a spin on I would confirm it first .

Do you have any pics?

I've been running one on my Corrado VR6 for years now. I pieced it together before anyone like EuroSport or New Dimensions had the kits. They're popular because the old 12v VRs run notoriously hot ...especially the Corrado. I was seeing 260 degree oil temps on the highway, but around 220 degrees after the cooler install.

I wouldn't put one on the GTI or any newer VWs for a few reasons, the biggest being that the newer cars just plain don't need them. The late model coolant systems are vastly superior to the ones on the older cars. I'm familiar with big turbo 1.8Ts and even a supercharged R32 that one stock systems without any issue or problem.

It's important to note the downsides of these setups. The realized oil temps will vary dependent on ambient air temp. The stock system is far superior at netting consistent temps under ALL conditions. Since our coolant system (on the newer cars) is capable of handling both coolant and oil temps without problem there is no reason to swap.

IMO the first step in this process would be to get an oil temp gauge. Only if you were experiencing abnormally high temps would I look into investing in an aftermarket system.

Just to whore:

I got this with my prosport oil pressure gauge install kit:



Obviously didn't work on the BPY engine. So I had to buy the banjo bolt tap kit from NewSouth performance. Let me know if someone wants it.

Thanks for pics and comment.

Well, when you go to race track, oil temp goes 120C to 140C ( if I'm not mistaken, its 248F to 284F), stock 2.0T cooling system is worthy of a better role.

We have "VW GTI CUP" race here in Japan, stock GTI CUP Car has a genuine sub-radiator system, and you can also find the same one on new S3. Its obvious that stock system is not enough.

I don't know from what degree, power decreases gradually, WOT at staight section gets dull lap after lap. That's why I want oil cooler for my car.

I'm coming to your country in January again. Let me know what you want. Maybe we can swap VW stuff. I want the Garbino lip, but that's more than a banjo kit ;) Just send me a pm.
