If you're looking to keep your Audi A3 or S3 running cool, you might want to check out the CSF High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator. With over 50 years of experience under their belt, CSF knows a thing or two about keeping engines at the right temperature, whether you're cruising down the street or pushing hard on the track. This radiator isn’t just another piece of metal; it’s designed specifically for performance. The 2-Row core features CSF's exclusive B-Tube Technology. Now, what’s that about? Well, instead of the standard oval-shaped “O” type tubes, CSF uses a unique “B” shaped tube that’s engineered for strength and efficiency. This design allows for thinner aluminum material while still being robust enough to handle the heat. It’s a game changer because it increases the heat transfer surface area by about 15%, which means better cooling with less weight. The dual liquid laminar flow that the B-tubes provide is a big win for cooling efficiency. Plus, those ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins are meticulously aligned to maximize airflow through the radiator core. CSF even tests their designs in a wind-tunnel lab to ensure they’re getting the best heat rejection possible. Installation? No sweat. This radiator is a true drop-in fit, so you won’t need to modify anything to get it in your ride. The brackets are CNC machined and welded, ensuring they’ll hold up under pressure. The inlet and outlet connections match the OEM specs, meaning you can easily reuse your factory hoses or swap in some aftermarket ones if you prefer. And if you’re wondering about the specs, here’s the scoop: it has a 42mm core thickness, a core height of 8.5 inches, and is designed for down flow. The black finish gives it a sleek look that blends right into your engine bay, and it’s all made from durable aluminum, which is a must for any performance vehicle. So whether you’re hitting the track or just want your daily driver to run cooler, trust CSF to deliver a radiator that’s built for performance and reliability. You won’t be disappointed.

CSF takes pride in the quality of its products and offers one of the best warranty’s in the industry. Please refer to the CSF warranty card in the shipping carton for details.

CSF warranty is applicable only to the original owner of the vehicle. Original paper work verifying the proof of purchase and pre-installation cooling system checklist signed by the professional installer is required to process warranty claims.

All warranty claims should be directed to the point of purchase. Due to CSF’s established agreements with Authorized CSF Warehouse Distributors, CSF is unable to handle and/or process warranty related calls/inquires from any individuals – all inquires/warranty related claims should be directed to the point of purchase or an authorized warehouse distributor.

Take care of your radiator, as under circumstances listed below the warranty will be void.

If the radiator is installed and is returned deformed (bulging tanks, warped core etc.), this is an indication that the radiator is the victim of some other problem and not the cause. The deformation is a result of the radiator being subjected to extremely high pressure and or temperature caused by any of the following reasons:Defective Pressure Cap, Defective Head Gasket, Defective Temperature gauge (incorrect readings), Defective Water Pump etc. Such units are not covered under the warranty.

If a radiator seems to have a “fit problem” there is the possibility that there is some confusion about a multi-fit radiator that might look different. Your nearest CSF WD can clarify the application, just give them a call. A perceived fit problem is not covered under warranty.

If a unit is damaged in shipping, please file a claim with the carrier. Damages caused during shipping, installation or handling are not covered under warranty.

Any repairs or alterations to the unit will automatically void the warranty.

Any form of abuse, including the use of improper coolant mixtures, damage caused by steam, corrosion etc and use on commercial vehicles voids the warranty. It is the vehicle owners’ responsibility to maintain the cooling system as specified in the owners manual.
