{"product_id":"vwr29dq381","title":"RacingLine 2.0 TSI MQB DSG Oil Cooler- DQ381 7 SPEED","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor DQ 250 6-speed and DQ381 7-speed\u003cbr\u003e\nIt’s not just your engine oil that you need to protect. Your DSG gearbox is very susceptible to overheating, leading to protection mode that reduces engine power and eventually prevents gear selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the higher your power, the harder you drive, the more important it is to protect it with the RacingLine 2.0 TSI DSG Oil Cooler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHY FIT A DSG OIL COOLER KIT?\u003cbr\u003e\nOur unique DSG Oil Cooler Kit is an essential fit for any hard-driven MQB 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 completely reliable installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTransferring more power and torque through the DSG gearbox generates ever more heat to dissipate. Significantly increased oil temperatures means only one thing: a decrease in the ability for your DSG box to stay properly cooled, eventually causing power drop and gear selection issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder hard driving, the factory DSG oil\/water cooler is easily overwhelmed. Problems start to occur when oil cannot dissipate its collected heat fast enough and the oil begins to thin and degrade – losing its lubrication properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen this happens, the DSG will protect itself and begin to lower the engine torque, increase shift times and eventually loose gear selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RacingLine kit solves this problem: by adding in an additional air\/oil cooler positioned right in the airflow at 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit uses a clever design which retains the factory oil\/water cooling and adds to it with the thermostatically-controlled front-mounted cooler – doubling up your cooling capability when it’s needed with less heat transfer into the water system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly when the oil exceeds normal temperatures, the thermostat opens. Oil temperature then 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDSG COOLER FITMENT.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs you’d expect, the RacingLine DSG Oil Cooler is a beautifully detailed complete kit, developed exclusively for MQB cars with either DQ250 6-speed or DQ381 7speed DSG gearbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is designed for straightforward fitting and ultimate reliability. Everything needed for perfect fitment is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other DSG oil cooler kits, the RacingLine package keeps the oil\/water cooler and adds to it with the oil\/air cooler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e10 row stacked-plate oil cooler radiator, flowed to obtain maximum heat dissipation without undue pressure drop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOptimum front mounted location behind left side front lower grill aperture with all necessary brackets and fixing kit supplied\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e210 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDOUBLE COOLING.\u003cbr\u003e\nOur DSG Cooler design is a unique design: it retains the factory oil\/water gearbox cooling system, plus adds our oil\/air cooling as well. Why?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DSG oil will still quickly warm up from the hot water in the engine’s coolant system, reaching full operating temperature as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut that’s where the problem begins on a hard-driven car. The hot engine coolant will now have little to no cooling effect on the DSG oil, and gearbox temps start to rise rapidly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s the point at which our sophisticated thermostatic control valve inside the adaptor block will then divert hot oil out to the new 10-row cooler located in the cool fresh air flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the cooled transmission oil returns from the cooler, it carries less heat to be absorbed into the engine coolant system – helping control all the temperatures under the bonnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur replacement oil\/water cooler (that’s the silver part in the picture) is lower in height than the factory one. So the total height of both parts still fits perfectly under the battery location above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT’S IN THE KIT?\u003cbr\u003e\nOil cooler mounting brackets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAN10 210 series Nylon braided feed and return line\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBillet CNC thermostatic adaptor block\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReplacement, low-profile oil\/water cooler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAN10 10-row oil\/air cooler core\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitting kit containing all necessary nuts, bolts, washers and rubber mounting bobbins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT’S THE PROBLEM ON TRACK?\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen oil temperature reaches 138°C\/280°F, the DSG’s control system initiates a reduction in engine torque, meaning a serious drop in performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarry on driving, and if temperatures then rise above 145°C\/293°F, your DSG clutches no longer get the fluid pressure they require and you loose drive altogether as the box goes into a safety mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re in a hot climate this can happen after only about 15 minutes at the track – meaning a long wait while your gearbox cools down again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONFIRMED APPLICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\nVWR29G7250 \/ DQ250 6-SPEED GEARBOXES ONLY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVWR29DQ381 \/ DQ381 7-SPEED GEARBOXES ONLY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVW Golf 7 \u0026amp; 7.5 GTI \u0026amp; Clubsport 2013-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVW Golf 7 \u0026amp; 7.5 R 2013-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVW Golf 7 \u0026amp; 7.5 1.8 TSI 2013-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVW Passat 2.0 TSI B8 2015+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVW Arteon 2.0 TSI 2017+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVW T-Roc R 2.0 TSI 2019+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVW Tiguan II 2.0 TSI 2016+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudi S3 8V 2013-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudi A3 2.0 TSI \/ 1.8 TSI 8V 2013-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudi TT 3 2.0 TSI 8S 2014+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudi TTS 3 2.0 TSI 8S 2015+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudi SQ2 2018+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkoda Octavia III vRS 2.0 TSI 5E 2014-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkoda Superb III 1.8 \/ 2.0 TSI 3V 2015-2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight\t6 kg\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions\t60 × 40 × 35 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is compatible with the following vehicles:\u003cbr\u003e\nYear\tMake\tModel\tEngine\u003cbr\u003e\nYear\tMake\tModel\tEngine\u003cbr\u003e\n2013 - 2015\tVolkswagen\tPassat (B7)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3)\u003cbr\u003e\n2013 - 2017\tVolkswagen\tGolf (MK7)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3) - GTI\u003cbr\u003e\n2013 - 2017\tVolkswagen\tGolf (MK7)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3) - R\u003cbr\u003e\n2013 - 2020\tAudi\tS3 (8V)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3)\u003cbr\u003e\n2014 - 2018\tAudi\tTT (8S)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3)\u003cbr\u003e\n2015 - 2018\tAudi\tTTS (8S)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3)\u003cbr\u003e\n2016 - 2021\tVolkswagen\tPassat (B8)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3)\u003cbr\u003e\n2017 - 2019\tVolkswagen\tArteon\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3)\u003cbr\u003e\n2019\tSkoda\tOctavia (5E)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3)\u003cbr\u003e\n2019 - 2020\tVolkswagen\tGolf (MK7.5)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3) - GTI\u003cbr\u003e\n2019 - 2020\tVolkswagen\tGolf (MK7.5)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3) - GTI TCR\u003cbr\u003e\n2019 - 2020\tVolkswagen\tGolf (MK7.5)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3) - R\u003cbr\u003e\n2019 - 2020\tVolkswagen\tGolf (MK7.5)\t2.0 TURBO (EA888 GEN 3) - R Wagon\u003cbr\u003e\n2020\tSkoda\tOctavia (NX)\tRS (180KW) EA888.3\u003cbr\u003e\n2023\tSkoda\tOctavia (NX)\tRS (180KW) EA888.3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RacingLine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51374681784637,"sku":"VWR29DQ381","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/7548\/3197\/files\/8.jpg?v=1773711659","url":"https:\/\/www.modsdirect.com.au\/products\/vwr29dq381","provider":"ModsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
