The VAG EA888 2.0 TFSI engine is a common powerhouse across several popular models in the Audi S-Line, Volkswagen GTI and R, Seat FR, and Skoda VRS range. After the success of our previous Ford RS, Toyota GR, and Honda Type R direct-fit oil cooler kits, we knew we had to keep the development rolling with other popular models. Our goal was simple; to design and manufacture user-friendly, easy-to-install kits that require either no, or very little modifications.
Every HEL oil cooler kit features a high-quality, reliable oil cooler manufactured by Setrab in Sweden. We have been using Setrab coolers for 10+ years, and have never had any issues with the performance or quality. Having an oil cooler fail or even burst is not something you want to experience, especially in demanding conditions and that is something we have never seen with Setrab's build quality. In the past, we've even had reports of front-end collisions and the Setrab oil cooler was the only component that still worked!
All HEL direct-fitting oil cooler brackets are laser cut, precision folded, and powdercoated in Black to result in a stealthy finish. Promoting direct airflow, the Setrab oil cooler was securely mounted behind the lower bumper grill proving as the most suitable location for effective cooling, performance, and accessibility.
Delivered with pre-assembled braided hoses and Aluminium fittings, our comprehensive kit has everything required for a straightforward installation. Using high-flow AN10 performance hose to deliver and return oil from the external oil cooler, this kit also includes a 90° oil filter take-off plate and spacer plate combination, which is equipped with a built-in thermostat. The thermostat ensures that your engine oil flows to the external oil cooler only when the oil reaches the desired temperature (92°C / 198°F).
Around 10% of the engine oil circulates through the oil cooler at any given time, this ensures a continuous flow that prevents air pockets and safeguards against thermal shock to the system. The surplus oil is then channelled back to the engine through the internal bypass system, promoting faster warm-up, providing added safeguarding in cold weather conditions, and eliminates the risk of overcooling.
Included with every kit is an easy-to-read installation manual. If you get stuck, our technical support team is always happy to answer any questions you may have.
Important Notice: If your vehicle was manufactured before 2015, please ensure that the oil filter stem has been upgraded to the OE part #06L115678Q. Dealerships typically replaced and upgraded this part during routine oil changes shortly after its release. However, if your car has not undergone this upgrade, the updated oil filter stem is still available at Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, and Skoda dealerships. It is critical to install this part before fitting your HEL oil cooler kit. We strongly recommend against proceeding with the installation without this updated component.
