VWR18G700
2.0 TSI Oil Cooler
For EA888 gen.3 & gen.4 engines
Because cooler oil means a better protected engine.
The higher your power, the harder you drive, the more important it is to protect your oil with this Oil Cooler by RacingLine.
Why fit an
Oil Cooler Kit?
Under hard driving, the stock oil cooler is easily overwhelmed. Failures start to occur when oil cannot dissipate its collected heat fast enough and the oil begins to thin and degrade - losing its lubrication properties.
The RacingLine kit solves this problem: by adding in an additional air to oil cooler positioned right in the airflow in the front of the car, oil temperatures are reduced by around 15 - 20 degrees centigrade (of course dependant on how the car is being used, ambient temps and state of tune).
Our kit retains the factory oil to water cooler and adds to it with the front-mounted cooler - doubling up your cooling capability with less heat transfer into the water system.
As the oil moves away from the heat inside the engine, its temperature drops significantly as it is pumped through the densely packed fins of the 10-row cooler’s large surface area mounted right in the cool airflow.
Supplied as a complete kit with every part ready for install.
Our Oil Cooler Kit is an essential fit for any hard-driven MQB or MQB 'Evo' 2.0 TSI car running high power levels or in hot climates. It's a complete ready to install package, using a clever sandwich plate design for straightforward and reliable installation.
Adding power to these 2.0 TSI engines generates more heat to disperse. Significantly increased oil temperatures means only one thing: a decrease in the ability for your engine to stay properly lubricated. At the same time, it's really important not to over-cool the oil; our 10-row kit is perfect.
HIGH EFFICIENCY COOLER
Our 10-row stacked plate design efficiently forces the hot oil through a series of aluminium pressed plates. Heat dissipates as cold air moves across the plates.
PRESSURE CONTROL
Our unique sandwich plate oil take-off includes a clever internal pressure-control valve control to direct oil flow through the cooler at correct flow/volume.
PRECISION MACHINED
Precision machined billet components utilising
the latest 5 Axis CNC machines for perfect accuracy, first time, every time.
210 SERIES BRAIDED HOSE
Our oil lines feature an attractive outer nylon braid strengthened by a stainless steel inner weave for maximum resilience. Protective external sheath avoids any rubbing damage in use.
COLD AIR LOCATION
The front-mount location brackets of the RacingLine cooler kit places it in the optimum airflow and ensures that oil temperature drops and excess heat is funnelled out efficiently.
HIGH-FLOW FILTER
The kit includes a pretty special high-flowing oil filter. Made from stainless steel micronic filter cloth with magnetic pre-filtering, capable of flowing 5x more oil than the factory paper filter.

So what's in the
oil cooler kit?
AN10 210 series Nylon braided feed and return line.
Oil cooler mounting brackets
Billet CNC non-return sandwich plate.
Billet oil filter housing with removable drop in filter.
Fitting kit containing all necessary nuts, bolts, washers and rubber mounting bobbins.
AN10 10-row oil cooler core.
As you’d expect, the RacingLine Oil Cooler is a beautifully detailed complete kit, developed exclusively for the EA888.3 & .4 engine.
The system is designed for straightforward fitting and ultimate reliability. Everything needed for perfect fitment is included.
Unlike some oil cooler kits, with the RacingLine Performance kit there is no need to remove the intake manifold to access oil galleries for a feed in and out of the engine.
Our clever oil filter adapter enables the oil cooler sandwich plate to be installed underneath the current oil filter housing on the EA888.3 & .4 engines - just screw off and replace.
This sandwich plate includes an integral pressure relief valving system to protect the system from pressure spikes.
10 row stacked-plate oil cooler radiator, flowed to obtain maximum heat dissipation without undue pressure drop.
Optimum front mounted location behind front lower grill aperture with all necessary brackets and fixing kit supplied.
210 Series stainless steel, nylon braided feed and return lines run past the chassis leg into the bumper cavity, then connecting to the oil cooler core.
Precision engineered for
perfect performance.
Left-hand threaded oil filter housing top for easy (and clean) oil changes
Stainless steel micronic high-flow filter included in each kit. Supplied separately for oil changes
T6 6061 CNC aluminium used throughout for precision accurate fit
Billet gloss-anodised for long-lasting protection and good looks
Adaptor plate locates under oil filter with pressure-control valving to divert oil flow around new cooling system
Bracket options.
The kit comes supplied with two bracket kits. One kit is for Audi S3 8V models, the other is for all other MQB & MQB 'Evo' vehicles.
Mounting for the bracket set requires drilling bolt holes through the front crash bar.

The oil filter.
The Oil Cooler Kit includes a pretty special oil filter. The filter element is made from high-flow stainless steel micronic filter cloth – a medical grade material guaranteed to filter out oil contamination better than paper-based filters, all helping to avoid the risk of resultant engine damage.
5 times the flow of comparable paper oil filters
Consistent filtering across entire filter surface
Magnetic prefiltering to remove microscopic ferrous materials before they reach the filter itself
The filter itself is a lifetime filter, IF it is very carefully cleaned (see below).
However, if you have any doubts about the cleaning process, the filter is available separately from all RacingLine dealers for servicing. If in doubt about cleaning method, it is always best-practice to change filter with every oil-change.
Method of Inspection and Filter Cleaning.
Firstly the RacingLine oil filter housing has a left hand threaded cap. Using a 32mm socket, remove the cap section (leaving the lower section in place) then remove the filter element ready for cleaning (use a syringe to extract remaining oil). Before beginning the cleaning process, first inspect the filter for debris, any debris will be caught on the outside of the filter element and on the magnet.
Clean the reusable stainless steel element with aerosol brake cleaner, solvent or degreasing agent. If you have an airline, carefully blow air through the filter. (Do not press the compressed air gun against the filter, keep at least a 10mm gap from nozzle to filter) starting from the inside out, then at an angle on the outside of the screen to further remove any remaining particles or cleaning solution.
If you don’t have an airline, let the element air dry. It is also good practice to clean the inside of the filter housing using the same type of cleaner as used on the filter before reassembly.
Please remember: if in any doubt about the cleaning process, do not risk the health of your engine! Replacement filter units are available from all RacingLine dealers.
Note: newly built engines.
RacingLine does not recommend immediate installation of the 2.0 TSI Oil Cooler kit on a newly rebuilt engine (non-factory rebuilds) . Due to the high filtration capabilities of the Stainless Steel Oil Filter, the assembly chemicals typically used by performance engine builders such as Molybdenum paste, engine assembly lube and grease used during engine assembly will be carried in the oil and can restrict filter flow or even lead to it blocking.
Once a minimum running in period of 1000 miles (1600Km) is complete on a freshly rebuilt/assembled engine, followed by a full oil flush and change (using VWG approved oil), the Oil Cooler kit can then safely be installed. The RacingLine Oil Filter should then be inspected and thoroughly chemically cleaned after a further 1000 miles.
Once the Racingline 2.0 TSI oil cooler kit is installed we recommend the Stainless Steel Oil Filter to be replaced or inspected and cleaned at 5000 mile service increments and alongside the vehicle's normal service milage.
