Select the year of your Audi A3:
If you're looking to keep your ride cool under pressure, the CSF OE replacement intercooler is a solid choice. I've had my fair share of experiences with aftermarket parts, and CSF really stands out in the crowd. They’re known for their quality, especially when it comes to radiators and oil coolers, and this intercooler is no exception.
What I appreciate most is how well this intercooler meets the high-grade OE requirements. It’s built to last and fits a good range of vehicles, so you’re not just limited to a couple of models. Whether you’re rolling in an Audi A3, a Volkswagen Jetta, or a GTI, you can trust that this intercooler will do its job efficiently.
Now, let’s talk about the construction. You can choose between regular tube and fin cores or go for the heavy-duty bar and plate cores, depending on how much you want to push your car. The materials are top-notch too, with options for plastic and aluminum or a full aluminum assembly. I’ve always leaned towards aluminum for its durability and heat dissipation properties.
In terms of sizing, this intercooler measures in at 8.56 inches high, 24.19 inches wide, and 1.25 inches deep. That’s a nice compact size that fits snugly in the engine bay without taking up too much space. The piping is made from aluminum, which is lightweight yet strong, and the end tanks are plastic, keeping the weight down without sacrificing performance.
For those who like to keep track of part numbers, this intercooler replaces the Partslink number VW3012102 and the OE number 1K0 145 803T. It’s sold individually, and CSF backs it up with a 2-year limited warranty, so you know they stand by their product.
To sum it up, if you're driving an Audi A3 (2006-2011), a Volkswagen Jetta (2006-2010), a GTI (2006-2013), or an EOS (2007-2015), this intercooler is worth considering. It’s reliable, efficient, and built for performance enthusiasts who want to keep their engines running cool and strong.
