06e117021g - Oil Cooler & TIBAO aftermarket parts

Detailed Overview of Oil Cooler (Part No: 06E117021G)

1. Function Overview:
The oil cooler is designed to reduce the temperature of engine oil, ensuring it remains within the optimal viscosity range during engine operation. Excessively high oil temperatures can degrade lubrication, increasing wear on engine components. The oil cooler dissipates heat from the oil to a cooling medium (air or coolant), stabilizing the engine's operating temperature.

2. Compatible Vehicles:
This part is commonly used in vehicles from the Volkswagen Group, including Audi and Volkswagen models, particularly those equipped with 2.0 TFSI or 3.0 TFSI engines. Common compatible models include:

• Audi A4, A5, A6, Q5
• Volkswagen CC, Passat, Magotan
  For precise compatibility, it's recommended to provide the model, year, and engine code.

3. Design Features:

• Material: Typically made of aluminum alloy for excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Structure: Often features a plate-fin or tube design to maximize heat exchange efficiency.
• Connections: Equipped with inlets and outlets for oil and coolant to facilitate effective heat transfer.

4. Working Principle:
Engine oil circulates through the oil cooler, where heat is exchanged with coolant or ambient air. The cooled oil then returns to the engine to provide lubrication and cooling to critical components.

5. Common Issues and Symptoms:

• Leaks: Aged or damaged seals may cause oil or coolant leaks.
• Blockages: Accumulated carbon deposits or impurities over time may restrict flow and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Cross-Contamination: A damaged oil cooler may allow oil and coolant to mix, resulting in milky coolant or water contamination in the oil.

6. Maintenance Tips:

• Regularly inspect seals and connection points to prevent leaks.
• Check for unusual oil or coolant discoloration or odors during routine maintenance.
• Replace the oil cooler immediately if damage is detected to avoid further engine complications.

7. Replacement and Installation:

• During replacement, drain the coolant and engine oil to prevent spillage.
• Replace the seals or gaskets to ensure a secure fit.
• After installation, refill with fresh engine oil and coolant, and bleed the system to remove trapped air.
