With over five decades of specialized experience in radiator manufacturing, CSF stands as a benchmark of quality and innovation in automotive cooling solutions. The CSF 99-06 VW Golf / GTI / 99-06 Jetta / GLI High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator exemplifies this legacy, engineered to deliver superior cooling performance for your MK4 Volkswagen, whether on daily roads or competitive tracks.
This radiator is meticulously designed to meet the demanding requirements of high horsepower engines and motorsport environments where enhanced cooling efficiency is critical. Featuring a robust 2-Row core, it incorporates CSF's proprietary B-Tube Technology, a significant advancement over conventional oval "O" type tubes. The unique "B" shaped tubes are precision-formed and seam-brazed, allowing the use of thinner, lighter aluminum that outperforms traditional welded tubes in both strength and heat dissipation.
The innovative design increases the heat transfer surface area by approximately 15% compared to standard tubes, effectively doubling the cooling efficiency within the same spatial constraints. This is achieved through the dual liquid laminar flow facilitated by the "B-tubes," which optimizes coolant movement and heat exchange. Complementing this, CSF employs ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins with a 6.5mm fin height, carefully aligned to maximize airflow through the radiator core. Each fin specification is rigorously tested and calibrated in CSF’s wind-tunnel laboratory to ensure peak heat rejection performance.
Installation is straightforward and hassle-free, thanks to the radiator’s true "Drop-in fit" design. It requires no modifications, preserving the integrity of your vehicle’s original setup. The CNC-machined and welded OE-style brackets guarantee exceptional durability, while the inlet and outlet connections are engineered to match OEM specifications. This compatibility allows for the reuse of original or aftermarket hoses, ensuring seamless integration with existing components such as the AC condenser, mounting brackets, and fan shroud.
