Detailed Description

OSC part number 13272 is a replacement radiator designed around original equipment dimensions and cooling layout for the Volkswagen Tiguan and Volkswagen Tiguan Limited. The radiator uses premium aluminum tubes and fins with plastic tanks, and the internal tubes are cadmium plated to help resist premature failure. OSC also uses factory-style component fitment and torque specifications during assembly to support consistent installation and cooling system alignment.

This radiator is built as a crossflow unit with a 1-row core, 25 9/16 in. core height, 16 15/16 in. core width, and 1 in. core thickness. It is a direct-fit cooling system replacement for 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan and 2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited models. This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU13272 for the same application.

Common Problems This Radiator Can Address

• Coolant leaks from a worn or damaged radiator tank or seal
• Overheating caused by restricted or aging radiator passages
• Cooling performance loss from corrosion or internal tube wear
• Fitment issues after replacing a damaged factory radiator
• Heat-related stress in higher-mileage Volkswagen Tiguan cooling systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet size, and cooler configuration before installation. This radiator does not include an engine oil cooler, transmission oil cooler, or cap. For best results, inspect hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement, and confirm the mounting points and hose routing match the original unit on your Tiguan or Tiguan Limited.

Quality Assurance

OSC tests the radiator core before assembly and tests the completed unit again after assembly. The transmission and engine oil cooler circuits are also tested prior to installation into the tank when equipped. Part number 13272 is engineered to meet OE-style cooling system requirements for Volkswagen Tiguan and Tiguan Limited applications.
