Congrats to Dgc1504, Email us at info@shopdap.com to collect your oil cooler!
Deutsche Auto Parts omg 😮😕😊😊😊😊 can’t believe I’ve won 😎😁😁😁😁😁😁
Most importantly how did the oil temperature do on track in heat? I track my car in the hot south and need something that works great.
Before and after results!!!?
Moar data!
if I have a front mount intercooler on my mk7.5 GTI, will I have room to mount this exact oil cooler next to it or would it have to be mounted in front of my intercooler. when it comes to oil changes and running this oil cooler the filter still sits on top correct? without having to remove the sandwich plate. contemplating about purchasing one if it will fit with my fmic

I need this for my Stage 2 Alltrack. Let it be me!
Well the filter is not good enough. I will never use that screen on my equipment.
I need one of these in my life help a brother out!
Need it for my track days!
Would be a sweet after market addition!
I don’t have an oil cooler...”but it would be a lot cooler if i did”
Jack Boullie it’s even cooler when you have the nickname “Mr. Cool” 😂❤️
It would be for a mk7 r
Always appreciate Paul's straightforward approach! New to the VW family, but would love to install this along with much more from DAP.
Just got a 2019 GTI, would love this for it. I buy as much as I can from you guys because you provide such a great service with all your videos. Thanks for your awesome support guys!
I'd love to hear if this actually helped your oil temps stay down? My car gets up to 250's+ just casually driving through the mountains. Thanks for the video!
Good video as always. Although I live in NYC, I was lucky enough to be in the area and stopped by shop last year. One of the guys gave me a tour and showed me around. To bad they are so far away. Keep the videos coming please. For those of us who are into DIY we appreciate them more than you know.
As an alltrack owner, I'm super excited to see you keep using it in videos. I tuned mine last year. I'm about to have a IS20 and better intake installed this spring. It's cool to see this vehicle being pushed out to its limits.
same, in a 2020 q5 with torsen. I will be able to push 8.5k rpm because of the trans it can handle 9000 rpm
Thanks for another DIY fellas! Been real curious on the install of this.. it's on the list and would match well with all the other racingline bits on the car. I could definitely use the lower temps and more capacity, paired with a bigger pan those temps should definitely drop a noticeable amount!
Was just looking at this in your website last week! Thanks for all you do for the VW/Audi community. Keep the instal videos coming!
3 Questions:
1) I live in New England and mostly daily drive my S3. Would this be okay to run in the winter or would I need to pull it off? Would getting a thermostatic sandwich plate (Provided the kit doesn't come with one) solve this issue?
2) I regularly see 218-230 temps on the highway and around town. Is that too high?
3) The metal filter is like $50 dollars every time, how often should it be replaced? Is there any alternatives? Is there a cloth/paper filter of the same size?
Would it be easier to weld rather than drill holes in the crash bar?
How do you drain the oil from the cooler during an oil change?
If there is one thing I love, its oil coolers. And I have a special place in my heart for this one. Outstanding video, all your videos have been a huge help.
Always great watching your videos. Even though I’ve not had to use them for installs, because I’ve only done springs so far. Glad to know y’all are out here for when the time comes. Who knows...maybe the oil cooler will be the first one. 🤙🏼
I am from Toronto Canada and i wish i had this guys close to me or the Humbled Mechanic... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 for this guys and the work they put to help us with any problem with our cars
288 F, man that is hot. What is the temp after oil cooler mounted?
Was literally just about to google how labor intensive this install was and now, well this is perfect timing! Daddy needs to get (an oil) cooler!
Love for Paul and the DAP gang, from Central TX! You guys are some of the best ambassadors in the VW/Audi community. The time and effort you put into these videos is greatly appreciated.
I also enjoy the work you've done explaining certain mods, benefits vs drawbacks, and lastly...myth-busting and dispelling misinformation from the "magical forums".
Subscription added. Thanks again for all you guys do!
I love these DIY videos. It’s nice having DAP on the backside of my development (I’m just off Bailey!) So I get to watch some videos, buy parts, go pick them up and just handle it! I just got Stoptech brake kit 2 weeks ago and thanks to Paul’s brake install videos, I was done with the full install of all 4 rotors and pad sets in like an hour and a half. Love it!
Running my R hard (560hp), an oil cooler would be beneficial down the road. Thanks for doing this vid!
I'm surprised you don't already!
@@BryceJordanProductions me too! 😂 Next is a fluidampr...
Daniel McGee I need to get on that as well.. been holding out on a lot of “small” things 😅
@@BryceJordanProductions it's on sale right now with the ARP bolt at USP. And Autrey will price match it...
Daniel McGee I wish I wouldn’t have read that 😂 ive got serveral other things to order this week.. guess ill see how the budget looks after all thats said and done lol
Yet another informative and in depth video. The content you provide is exactly what I want to see. Thank you guys
FIrst product from racingline that i looked at. Thanks for the install video might pick this up in the future.
When servicing the vehicle is it reccomended to also empty oil cooler?
Are you bringing the Alltrack to Wookies this year?
Paul Barrett and the guys at Shop DAP know the Cooler way to make videos! 😎 thanks for everything you guys do for our community 👌🏻
I just bought the last model of 2019 alltrack. I am looking forward to save enough money to follow the steps you guys are taking with your Alltrack. Oil cooler would help a lot!!!!
I have a mk7 gti 16 my car is stock
How much the oil cooler give me horsepower??
I’ve been starting to add more power mods to my GSW- this would be a great addition! Thanks for the chance!
Racingline has some very sick parts, one of my coworkers has a full race kit Audi S3. They run the cars in competition, legit
Enjoyed the video. Informative as always. Just a FYI I have a mk6 TDI so, please give it to someone who can use it.👍
This is one of those things that I've been looking for a long time. Thanks for the video, it makes the installation and the buying decision much easier
👏🏼 for this giveaway! DAP is a great company and Paul is a tremendous contributor to the enthusiast community 👍🏼
Awesome! I really enjoy the time you take to review and DIY the products you sell! Thanks!!!!!
Thanks for the detailed instructions, will be back watching this video again in when I get one (fingers crossed for this competition)
I love watching your channel, ever since I first started it got me into a mk7.5 gti and love every minute of it you videos are boss so informative, I bought some parts from you guys and it was so easy and straightforward my car runs great thanks
Racingline makes phenomenal products! I want to install one on my GTI soon.
Thanks Paul and crew for making this great DIY video!
I own a mk6 gti, have suffered high oil temps under hard driving. The south Florida heat is Killer. Would love to get one of these oil coolers!!
I’ve done autocross before with my mk7 and I get up to 240 F, but this year I want to get to the track at least once. Would be good to have a system like this. 👍 great video as always.
Good video but you left out an important step. The instructions from Racingline say to prime the oil cooler by removing the coil packs and cycling the engine a few time to get oil distributed throughout.
I have only seen the Racing Line oil cooler on a Golf R. Question... My MK7 GTI has a Neuspeed FMIC. So, where else would be an ideal location for the Racing Line oil cooler to be installed? I can’t install it by the hood latch because both sides have the ECS Tuning inlet scoop kit. 🤔
Wonder why they updated the oil filter adapter housing and should I do that on mine if it is the old one...
Is it a lack of cooler capacity, or does the coolant overheat? If coolant gets over hot, wouldn't a radiator upgrade solve two problems at once?
New here looking to buy a mk 7 gti and with all information that you have provided me really help in looking for the right car
Wish there was a before and after comparison covering oil temps before / after. Also curious how much harder this makes oil changes, since you can never completely drain the oil out of the lines or radiator. I'm guessing there is some oil left in the system each time....
I installed it into my GTI 4 months ago, I have a front intercool so I removed my fog light and installed it on the right side. It’s pretty good, I track my car all the time, last time I track it can handle at lease double of the time.
BUT !!! A big but, if it’s winter time it just take forever to heat up.
Put 2 Dash T-Pieces with a 2 valves in between the two lines.
Just picked up a manual Alltrack! Hope to see more vids. You guys kill it!
This is one of the upgrades I've been thinking about for my MK7 GTI and glad you did this vid. Might have to look at doing this before the summer. It gets HAWT in TX.
Hello I have a question. in the assembled set, the filter base has a thermostat? How does it look like if there is no problem with underheating the oil in Winter?
Guess it would be pretty “cool” to see how these things work lol. I’m sure a lot of the hot climate guys have seriously considered one of these.
this is race tested setup but how good is the oil filter. I would not use this during warranty period since VWoA because VWoA can deny engine failure warranty claim.
I’m assuming it takes longer for the oil to get to temp (122 F) with this? Especially in Michigan winters. I also with this would clear my FMIC but it won’t. I would get one if it did
do you recommend adding one to ea211? could you show an installation of oil cooler on an ea211
Great video. Is there any way to eliminate / bypass the coolant circuit once the oil cooler is installed?
great video as always, I just installed this on my MK7 R, is it just me or are these hoses ridiculously close to the belts?
Is it worth adding that more robust oil filter backdrain plunger to a stock Mk7?
Would this fit on a 2018 Golf r?
Is there a thermostat version of this? cause under normal circumstances you don't need the extra cooling capacity and you are keeping your oil below optimal temp.
hello i just installed this radiator but i would like to know how you removed the air from it or how you bled it. pk my golf 7r in low rutação the pump makes a noise and the increase of the motor rotation the pump deicha do. can you help me?
Have you ever tested whether it's really worth it to purchase a Dooxi Car Adaptation products?
I like the stock look! I think this oil cooler combined with upgraded oil pan could really help lower temps!
Love that everything you’re doing to this Alltrack can be applied to my Sportwagen. *crosses fingers, hopes to win*
Is there a loss of oil pressure since oil has to travel thru the cooler ?🤔
Is there any way to drain oil from oil cooler once installed during services? Like a drain plug on the cooler itself? Also is there any equivalent fleece filter available? 54 dollars for a filter every oil change would get old quick...especially changing oil every 5k miles. Only downside I see from this kit. Great install video! Have you had on track since install and how much lower were oil temps?
Do you if there is a system like this for the TDI Golf Mk7? If so can you share part numbers and how to website?
if I have a front mount intercooler on my mk7.5 GTI, will I have room to mount this exact oil cooler next to it or would it have to be mounted in front of my intercooler. when it comes to oil changes and running this oil cooler the filter still sits on top correct? without having to remove the sandwich plate. contemplating about purchasing one if it will fit with my fmic
This thing looks awesome. Why not use upgrade the rad?
Woohoo! Been looking into one for my 2015 S3 because those oil temps are ridiculous!
What are the signs that you need a clutch on a B8.5 manual S4. My car from time to time think that the clutch pedal is all the way down.
How would this fit with a front mount intercooler? Can it be done? Just curious.
How much of an improvement do you think this will make to track oil temp?
Have you done an auxiliary trans cooler on an 06 jetta? Recommendations?
I've wanted to see this. In the summer the oil gets up to 230 degrees where in the winter is stays at around 209. I've had others say that's normal, but the water temp stays around 200 year round. I'd like to have better cooling on the oil myself.
I know this is an old video, but what if you have a front mount intercooler? Where does it go then or what options do we have for placement for those of us who have a FMIC
Would love this for my alltrack! Does it work even with a fmic?
What if I have a front mount intercooler. Is there any where else I can mount it ?
Looks like a quality bit of kit, do you have a picture with the bumper installed? Looking at my '17 R it seems like it would interfere with the factory shrouding around the primary heat exchangers. Seems like for manual cars like mine a better location might be where the DSG cooler would be but the lines definitely aren't long enough for that.
Maybe I missed it, but will this change the amount of oil to put in on oil changes?
ı have 1.4 polo gti and oil temp very high so ı think use oil cooler. is presure with stock oil pump enough and how work oil cooler?
Have you already tested this on track and how much difference does it make compared to stock? Therefore is it really worth to go for?
Question sir. The place you mounted the cooler, would it still fit there if you had a secondary intercooler? And to you think a 10 row would fit?
Looks like a good addition to any modded MQB car.
Is this still able to mount up properly with Mk7s that have the lower front radar?
when you do an oil change a quart of old oil stays in the radiator
Would it work if you have a front mount intercooler ?
I wish I had a gen 3 ea888 2.0 to see if the oil filter is the same as a 1.8 because so far I have seen nothing saying it does or doesn't.
love it another great video by you. Did you have to do any prefill on the cooler or will it do it on its own?
How will this affect my car in colder climates? We get 25-30C summers in the UK but it can get to -5 in the winter. Will this make my oil too cold? I plan on taking the car to a few track days so want more cooling.
Any advice from you car nerds?
How would you clean the metal mesh filter?
Is that oil filter adapter a recommended upgrade for anyone who currently has the stick-thingy? Never seen the one with the spring before
And I'm assuming that, even though the 1.8 isn't listed on the oil cooler compatibility chart, it'll work, seeing as how Alltrack, and everything...
I'd be interested to know how your A/C system works when it gets hot out seeing how you have the oil cooler mounted right in front of the A/C condenser lines. The hot air from the oil cooler will exhaust right on those lines.
Good question! So, I estimate at around 95 degrees F outside the “cold” side of the condenser would be around 140-160F. Not substantially cooler than the oil in the oil cooler. So it’ll have essentially no effect on the AC performance. 👍🏼
I have tought about getting an oli cooler to my vag group car with 2.0 tfsi motor shoud I?
Finally, have been waiting for something to come out!
Very interested in somthibg like this for my Mk2 Tiguan. I drive 30, 000 miles a year and but I plan to keep this car for a while. I'm sure one could benefit in long-term care by keeping oil temps low.
As usual, great job on this video 😉, you've spiked my interest.
Thank you guys for all the great content and everything you do for the community! Would be great on my MK7 SportWagen!
what front bumper is this off of? want one for my MK7 GTI
What do you think, is the plate to that goes in between the water pump or this type better?
Don't spit in the c-c-cooler! Another great video, good work guys
Can I install this Oil Cooler to my MK7 TDi Golf?
Where to get the oil cooler sandwich plate that suitable for ea888 gen 2?
