The CSF Radiators 8198 is designed specifically for high-performance applications, particularly for various Mercedes AMG models. This all-aluminum auxiliary radiator plays a vital role in maintaining optimal engine temperatures, ensuring that your vehicle runs smoothly even under demanding conditions.
What sets this radiator apart is its efficient cooling capabilities. It works alongside the main cooling system to lower engine water temperatures and serves as a heat exchange medium for the turbocharger's air-to-water charge-air coolers. This is essential for reducing intake air temperatures (IATs), which can significantly influence engine performance.
One of the standout features of the 8198 is its robust construction. The radiator boasts a 2-row 68mm high-performance core, utilizing CSF's exclusive B-tube technology. This design provides a greater cooling capacity compared to the OEM units, which typically feature a 1-row 42mm core. Customers have noted that this radiator effectively prolongs the heat soak threshold, helping to keep temperatures within an optimal range during spirited drives.
Installation is straightforward—this radiator is crafted for a true "drop-in fit," requiring no modifications. It connects easily with OE type connections for both the inlet and outlet, making it a hassle-free upgrade for your vehicle. Additionally, the included detachable rock guard offers protection from debris and potential core punctures, a feature that many users appreciate over the OEM options.
Here’s what some customers have said:
"I installed the CSF 8198 in my E63 AMG, and I instantly noticed a difference in temperature management during track days. It's solidly built and fit perfectly!" - Alex R.
"This radiator is a game changer for my G63. The cooling efficiency is impressive, and I love that it comes with a rock guard. Highly recommend!" - Sarah T.
This radiator is compatible with the following Mercedes-Benz models:
For those looking to enhance their vehicle's cooling system, the CSF Radiators 8198 is a reliable choice that combines performance with ease of installation.
