CSF Performance has released its highly anticipated MQB cooling components. Finally, an aftermarket high-performance cooling solution now available to tackle the many overheating issues that have plagued this otherwise great track-worthy platform. The Ultimate MQB cooling system, exclusively by CSF Performance, is designed to keep engine water, as well as both transmission and engine oil temperatures in check and at optimal levels, even under the most demanding race conditions. By utilizing CSF Performances new suite of coolers in either a one-, two-, or three-piece configuration, it allows drivers the ability to unleash their cars full potential for extended periods during racing conditions.

Observations from logs:

• Engine coolant temperature does not go above 100.5C (212.9F)

What we can say for sure:

• Engine Oil Temperatures are reduced and maintained consistently during full load/rpm
• Engine coolant temperatures are maintained in the optimum range
• DSG oil temperatures rises and falls in line with the engine coolant temperature (well within ideal operating parameters)
