Detailed Description

Part number 2557C is a replacement radiator for Audi S4, Audi RS4, Audi A4, and Audi A4 Quattro applications listed below. It is intended for vehicles without a transmission oil cooler and is built to manage engine heat so the cooling system can operate as specified. This radiator uses an aluminum core with plastic tanks, matching a common OE-style construction for service replacement. If you are replacing a leaking, clogged, or damaged unit, 2557C provides a focused solution for the cooling system on these Audi models. This part cross-references Spectra Premium (e.g., CU2557) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant loss from a cracked or leaking radiator
• Restricted heat transfer from a worn core
• Overheating caused by radiator failure

Installation Notes

Verify fitment by year, model, and the note for vehicles without a transmission oil cooler before installation. Confirm that the radiator cap and thermostat are sourced separately if needed, since they are not included with this part. Use the listed application details for Audi S4, Audi RS4, Audi A4, and Audi A4 Quattro to match the correct cooling system configuration.
