Detailed Description

Nissens intercooler 961345 is built for direct replacement use on 2019-2025 Audi A6 Quattro, 2020-2025 Audi A6 allroad, and 2019-2025 Audi A7 Sportback. The unit uses a brazed-fin aluminum core with aluminum tanks, along with tube turbulators that help manage charge-air temperature under load. With OE-spec manufacturing and testing, this intercooler is intended to maintain proper airflow, cooling efficiency, and dimensional accuracy in the factory location. The 961345 part number is also a useful reference when verifying the correct Audi intercooler for these applications.

What It Helps Address

• Reduced charge-air cooling efficiency from a damaged or restricted intercooler
• Boost-related performance loss caused by heat-soaked intake air
• Leaks at the intercooler assembly from age, corrosion, or impact damage
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style Audi intercooler
• Cooling inconsistency during higher-load driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm inlet and outlet dimensions before installation: 2.60 in inlet outside diameter and 2.30 in outlet outside diameter. The core measures 28.35 in long, 5.55 in wide, and 3.15 in thick. This is a specific-fit part for the listed Audi models, so verify the vehicle application and OE reference before ordering. The 961345 intercooler includes gaskets for sealing, and the OE-style mounting points should be checked for alignment during installation.

Quality Assurance

Nissens subjects this intercooler to corrosion, vibration, pressure impulse, thermal expansion, and thermal performance testing. The result is an OE-spec replacement built to support consistent cooling performance and reliable fitment for Audi A6 allroad, Audi A6 Quattro, and Audi A7 Sportback applications. This part cross-references Audi OE numbers 8W0145805AC and 8W0145805B for the same application.
