Wagner Tuning Competition front radiator for VW T6 & T6.1 2.0 TDI / BiTDI models – up to 30% more cooling capacity
Maximum performance and optimal cooling for your VW Transporter. The Wagner Tuning Competition radiator kit is an effective upgrade for the 2.0 TDI and BiTDI engines of the VW T6 and T6.1. The 30% increase in the volume of the low-temperature circuit radiator significantly reduces the coolant temperature and improves the temperature stability of the system, especially under heavy load or tuned engines.
Why this front radiator is a great upgrade for your VW T6/T6.1
Significantly larger cooling capacity
The Competition Series honeycomb design increases the radiator volume by 30% compared to the original (12.4 liters vs. OEM 9.5 liters).
Better performance in practice
Effectively lowers the coolant temperature in the indirect intercooling system circuit. This improves the operation of the intercooler and stabilizes the engine temperature, especially under load.
Efficient heat transfer
The optimized ratio between internal and external cooling surfaces ensures maximum heat transfer while maintaining sufficient airflow to other cooling components.
Durable construction and protection
The radiator is black coated and equipped with a heat-conducting anti-corrosion coating that ensures long-lasting cooling performance and protects components.
Easy plug & play installation
Installation is quick and easy thanks to the clear installation instructions included.
Technical background – cooling system optimization for 2.0 TDI / BiTDI engines
The 2.0 TDI and BiTDI engines in the VW T6/T6.1 models use an indirect intercooling system , in which the charge air is not cooled directly by outside air, but by a separate coolant circuit.
Therefore, lowering the coolant temperature is the most effective way to improve charge air cooling and maintain engine performance under load.
The Wagner Tuning update system solves this bottleneck:
A larger coolant volume keeps the system temperature lower for longer – a significant advantage, especially in the powerful BiTDI models (199–204 hp) .
