Product Details

CSF manufactures radiators to high-performance standards and validates cooling performance through laboratory wind-tunnel testing. The brand supplies a wide range of radiator designs for many vehicle platforms, and CSF 3159 reflects that engineering approach with a factory-style fit and cooling layout. This radiator is built for drivers needing a direct replacement for the original cooling system in compatible Audi TT, Audi TT Quattro, Volkswagen Golf, and Volkswagen Jetta models.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2265 for the same application.

Common Cooling Issues Addressed

  • Cracked or leaking radiator tanks
  • Restricted coolant flow from an aging core
  • Overheating caused by reduced heat transfer
  • Damaged inlet or outlet connections
  • Cooling system performance loss from corrosion or wear

Installation Notes

Verify inlet and outlet orientation before installation, since this radiator uses left-side inlet and outlet connections. Confirm core dimensions and OE-style quick-connect pipe layout against the original unit before removal. For best results, inspect hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement so the cooling system is ready for service after installation.

Compatible With 2000-2006 Audi TT, N/A; 2000-2006 Audi TT Quattro, N/A; 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, N/A; and 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, N/A. Part number 3159 is the direct reference for this application.
