Detailed Description
Part number 2828C is a radiator assembly engineered for Audi cooling-system service where the original unit has failed or is leaking. The aluminum core helps transfer heat efficiently, while the plastic tanks provide the OE-style construction commonly used in modern passenger vehicles. With the transmission oil cooler built in, this radiator supports both engine cooling and automatic transmission fluid temperature control in one assembly. This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2828 for the same application.
Compatible With 2005-2012 Audi A6 Quattro and 2006-2011 Audi A6, this radiator matches the listed fitment for vehicles using the specified cross-flow configuration. The part number 2828C is also referenced in aftermarket interchange listings for this application, making it a practical replacement choice when servicing the cooling system on an Audi A6 or Audi A6 Quattro.
What It Helps Address
- Coolant leaks from a cracked or corroded radiator
- Overheating caused by reduced heat dissipation
- Transmission temperature concerns tied to a failing cooler circuit
- Loss of cooling efficiency from damaged core tubes or tanks
- Service replacement for a worn OE radiator on Audi A6 models
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify radiator dimensions, inlet and outlet size, and transmission cooler hose-clamp connections before installation. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and confirm the transmission cooler lines are clean before reconnecting.
