• Fitment issues when replacing the right-side intercooler on listed Audi models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify right-side placement before installation and compare inlet and outlet diameters to the original unit. Inspect charge pipes, clamps, and seals for wear before reassembly, and confirm the mounting points align with the vehicle’s factory layout. For best results, flush the surrounding intake tract if contamination or debris is present.
