Forge Motorsport VW T6/T6.1 2.0 TDI Chargecooler Radiator

Product Description

Forge has a well-established reputation for offering world class solutions in chargecooler radiator upgrade kits for high performance German vehicles such as Audi S4, and the Mercedes AMG A45. With this in mind, Forge are proud to present another PolarCooler as the first auxiliary cooling system for the VW T6/T6.1 2.0 TDI . Following extensive testing on the road and dyno working with 3 different styles of water core with different fin pitch configurations, we are proud to present the ultimate in frontal water-cooling solution.

With modern day aftermarket ECU tuning pushing powerful engines harder, in certain conditions, the vehicle will run the risk of receiving inadequately cooled air affecting the engines efficiency and ultimately losing power.

Using the knowledge gained in developing these uprated chargecooler radiators, we have used our proven testing and development procedure to develop an uprated kit for the Volkswagen T6 2.0TDI 180 & 204PS Transporter. The Forge all-aluminium construction chargecooler radiator offers extra reliability over the OEM type radiator with plastic end tanks that can fail with time. Maximising the available space behind the bumper of the vehicle the Forge chargecooler radiator offers a 50% increase in frontal area and a 50% increase in volume over the OEM.

The radiator is a single pass design with inlet and outlet at diagonal opposites optimising the flow of coolant across the entire radiator core.

Available in our highly durable stain black powdercoated finish.

• An increase of over 50% extra capacity using an 18 fpi (fins per inch) louvre super tech cooling core for maximum cooling.
• The PolarCooler replaces the OEM chargecooler radiator.
• This chargecooler has been designed featuring single pass water flow to ensure all of the surface area of the core is utilised, meaning maximum cooling efficiency.
• This unique design has allowed inlet temperatures to be lowered by 20°C (68°F) in 3 back-to-back runs on the dyno.
• The Forge PolarCooler locates in the OEM position and is supplied with anti-corrosion black powder coat on the hand fabricated end tanks and core or motorsport raw alloy
• A reduction of the temperature of the cooling water is directly equated with an improved cooling performance of the charged air.
• With an increase in volume of water introduced to the cooling system the thermal temperatures can be kept at a much-reduced level over a longer period, ensuring greater performance and efficiency which in turn is perfect for your fast road and for commercial van usage
• All of the Forge silicon coolant hoses have been designed to include an expensive inner liner of modified silicone known as Flurosilicone.

The radiator is a single pass design with inlet and outlet at diagonal opposites optimising the flow of coolant across the entire radiator core.

The kit is supplied with:

• 1x chargecooler radiator
• 1x coolant hose kit
• 2x billet aluminium hose coupler
• All the necessary hoses clips and fixings

Warranty Information

The majority of Forge Motorsport products come with a limited lifetime warranty (brakes pads excluded). All warranty claims must be accompanied by the original proof of purchase to enable us to help you. Failure to supply this proof will result in your claim or enquiry being denied.

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.

This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier’s instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier’s approval.
