Detailed Description

Nissens 96747 is a front intercooler designed for the Audi TT and Audi TT Quattro from 2000-2006. As part of Nissens’ thermal management range, it is built to support charge air cooling in turbocharged engines by helping reduce intake air temperature before it enters the engine. The aluminum core and brazed cooling fins are selected for efficient heat transfer, while the plastic tanks follow a common OE-style construction approach. This part number, 96747, is a direct-fit solution for drivers replacing a worn, leaking, or damaged intercooler on compatible Audi applications.

What It Helps Solve

• Boost pressure loss caused by intercooler leaks
• Reduced cooling efficiency from damaged or clogged charge air passages
• Heat soak that can affect turbocharged engine performance
• Physical damage from road debris or front-end impact
• Fitment issues when replacing an original front intercooler

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet sizing before installation, and compare the mounting points to the original unit on the vehicle. Inspect charge pipes, clamps, and seals for wear before reassembly, since damaged connections can create boost leaks after replacement. This intercooler includes mounting hardware, which can simplify installation on the listed Audi TT and Audi TT Quattro front applications.
