With over five decades of specialized experience in radiator manufacturing, CSF stands as a trusted leader in delivering high-quality cooling solutions. The CSF Classic & Small Chassis Audi 5-Cylinder High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator embodies this legacy, offering exceptional reliability and efficiency tailored specifically for Audi Quattro models including B1, B2, B3, and B4 chassis. Engineered to excel both in everyday driving conditions and demanding motorsport environments, this radiator is an essential upgrade for vehicles requiring enhanced cooling performance, particularly those with high horsepower configurations or engaged in competitive racing.
At the core of this radiator’s superior performance lies CSF’s innovative 2-Row core design integrated with exclusive B-Tube Technology. Unlike conventional oval-shaped “O” tubes, CSF’s uniquely engineered “B” shaped tubes are meticulously formed and seam-brazed, resulting in a structure that is not only stronger but also lighter due to the use of thinner aluminum material. This design innovation increases the heat transfer surface area by approximately 15% compared to traditional tubes, effectively delivering the cooling efficiency of two smaller tubes within the same spatial constraints. The “B-tubes” facilitate dual liquid laminar flow, optimizing coolant movement and heat dissipation.
Complementing the advanced tube design, the radiator incorporates ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins that are precisely aligned to maximize airflow through the core. Each fin’s dimensions and configuration are rigorously calculated and validated through extensive wind-tunnel testing to ensure peak heat rejection efficiency. This meticulous engineering results in a radiator that maintains optimal engine temperatures under intense operating conditions, thereby enhancing engine longevity and performance.
The CSF Audi radiator is designed as a true “Drop-in fit” replacement, requiring no modifications for installation. The inclusion of CNC-machined and welded OE-style mounting brackets guarantees durability and a precise fitment that aligns perfectly with factory specifications. Additionally, inlet and outlet connections are engineered to match original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, allowing seamless integration with existing OEM or aftermarket hoses. This thoughtful design ensures that installation is straightforward, minimizing downtime and complexity.
