DSG cooler kit

I would work on overall cooling of the bay, the DSG cooler is kind of in a congested place and not far from the hot exhaust manifold. Ducting and/or a small fan in that area would be my first steps. That said, I live in the hot south with K04 power and haven't noticed any DSG issues at 115k.

I run DSG cooling system on my 08 KO4 GTI. After a couple of years with the K04 my DSG started slipping. I started going to the track with the car and believe that extra hard driving precipitated the slipping (overheating). So when I replaced the clutches (OEM) I also installed this cooling system which I switch on at the track.

I am due for a fluid change in about 3k and am planning on using the cooler from the Audi TT-RS. The nipples come out at a different angle but my mechanic feels he can make it work.

Here's a link to the part but no pic. You should be able to use the part number to google image it... https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/0BH317019/
