529 Innovations teamed up with iABED Industries and CSF to make their Oil Cooler Kits for use on A3/S3, TT/TT-S, Golf/GTI, and Jetta with the EA888.3 & EA888.4 engines These kits have been track tested and proven to lower both Engine and Oil temperatures.

This kit provides a fully divorced, thermostatically controlled oil cooling system so that both engine and oil temps can be regulated independently.

Product Details

Design & Engineering

529 Innovations has spent many hours on track learning the shortcomings of these Audi and VW platforms and where improvements can be made. Engine oil temperatures become a continual issue in many track sessions and they decided to engineer a solution.

By-Pass/Feed Plate

The first step was to partner with iABED Industries to develop an oil cooler feed plate that would separate/divorce the engine coolant system from the oil system. The result is their billet aluminum oil cooler bypass plate with a built-in thermostat that uses -10AN lines to create a separate oil cooler loop.

The By-Pass Plate bolts into the factory location for the OE Oil Cooler separating the engine coolant system from the oil cooler system. This means lower engine coolant temps as well as allowing for a larger and more efficient oil cooler.

Oil Cooler Options

529 Innovations has two different options available for the oil cooler upgrade.

CSF #8119 Oil Cooler

Their Variant 2 system utilizes the CSF #8119 Universal Dual-Pass Oil Cooler which they recommend for the Golf/GTI/Jetta with stock turbo power levels equipped with a 6-Speed Manual Transmission. The oil cooler is mounted in the lower grill area on the left hand side with right hand side brackets available upon request.

This option provides ample cooling capacity for the engine oil and easy installation for cars that did not come equipped with an Auxiliary Radiator or DSG cooler from the factory.

529 Innovations by CSF Oil Cooler

Their Variant 3 system uses a larger oil cooler based on the CSF #8132 DSG Cooler / High-Performance Auxiliary Radiator. The oil cooler made specifically for 529 Innovations is a dual pass design that bolts into the factory location. This version is recommended for DSG equipped vehicles, vehicles running aftermarket/higher HP tunes or Manual transmission cars using OEM lower auxiliary radiator brackets.

For cars not equipped with lower radiators, brackets and ducting will be needed. Please see the fitment notes for more information.
