The Forge Motorsport Oil Cooler Kit is engineered for the Volkswagen Transporter T5.1 platform equipped with the 2.0 BiTDi twin-turbocharged diesel engine producing 180hp. This premium kit provides efficient thermal management under heavy workloads, prolonged towing conditions, or aggressive performance tuning states. At the heart of the configuration is an advanced sandwich plate adapter integrating a built-in thermostat. This allows the oil to bypass the auxiliary radiator until it reaches optimum operational temperature. This design avoids over-cooling scenarios during typical winter driving while providing structural safety limits under hard load conditions.

Key Product Features

• 13-Row Efficiency Core: Highly efficient multi-row oil core radiator design providing maximized surface thermal radiation.
• Thermostatic Sandwich Plate: Smart internal activation prevents cold-start wear cycles by regulating initial flow vectors.
• High-Pressure Braided Lines: Outfitted with robust braided lines and fittings engineered to withstand high pressure.
• Bespoke Mounting Hardware: Includes laser-cut structural brackets tailored precisely to structural anchor points.
• Engine Longevity Protection: Dramatically reduces oil degradation rates to safe, reliable operational baselines.
