S3 cooler question
Pashka:
You are talking about s3 ic so I'll ask here, does it fit to 1.9 tdi without any mods? As I know 1.9 and for example 2.0 or tfsi uses different front support. We call it TV :signLOL:

Mk5 Golfs only have FMIC, older mk4 Golfs VP110 and some other PD engines had SMIC. So all mk5s with a turbo can easily fit a S3 IC, AFAIK.

Cheers guys, not as much as I was expecting! Seems like a decent part with ally end tanks and a bit thicker than the GTI one.
As for price, I've got a mate who works at an Audi dealer and usually sort me out with a good price, so I'll compare that to other options!

It's much better than the GTI one: bigger core, good quality aluminium and good enough flow for 350 BHP, if I'm not mistaken.

Are you on a ko3 or a ko4 pudding? The reason I am asking is I have spent a lot of time recently looking into the newer type s3 and golf r(mk6) ic's with the plastic ends and it would seem that ecs spent a bit of time testing both the s3 with Ally ends against the one with plastic ones. They found that by measurements the plastic ended one was approx 20-22% greater volume area than our standard ones and the ally one was around 25%. Flow wise and efficiency were pretty much identical and both were a great improvement over our standard ones. Better still, the plastic ended one meant they didn't require new bolts either.
I have an airtec one fitted to mine (ko3), but I will be swapping it with a mate who has a golf r, as I reckon the airtec is a bit overkill on the ko3, and the golf r one would be better suited.
Just my 2p. Don't know how much they go for compared with the ally ended ones, as I haven't looked.
