    Post I need the RS6+ oil cooler part no.

    as people say the RS6+ has a larger oil cooler.
    can someone help me out with the part no. ?
    and are there any other components that must to be changed in order to install this oil cooler?

    Not sure about the oil cooler

    If you use the search function on this site, and search "rs6+AND oil cooler" you will find a few threads.

    Check the one that Erik started. In that thread, he quotes the Audi corporate literature on the RS6+.

    I didn't see any mention of a larger oil cooler; there WAS a mention of how Audi, for better cooling of this model, added 2 (?coolant?) radiators behind the air/air intercoolers on either side. So it sounds that the addition of more cooling there was predominantly on the liquid coolant side of things.

    I was actually thinking the same thing, but I recently found out by looking through the ETKA catalog. According to the diagram, looks like our just regular RS6 also has additional radiators behind the intercoolers. I've also heard another rumor about the U.S. models having the intercoolers linked to the radiator for additional cooling purpose? (Shop foreman from the dealer) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think everyone knows this by now that there seem to be another heat exchanger below where the front plate is located. I wonder if this is what's being used for those smaller additional radiators that we have. Also based on someone who recently posted about the sportec's intercooler/oil cooler upgrade, it seems as though there are small radiators that comes with the package as well. The same ones as the one on ETKA catalog. Anyone have a better idea?
