PFL MANUAL aux cooler

[Philcupra280]

Hiya lads I’m after some advice . I have a PFL 2015 Cupra 280 manual . When looking online most cars have additional coolers either side of the car behind the front bumper . My understanding is one is a dsg cooler ( for dsg cars only ) and the other is an oil and coolant radiator . When taking my bumper off I don’t have either . My problem is temps on track , I’m running a racingline oil cooler and on track my temps still aren’t as good as I want them to be . I’m wondering if anyone has retrofitted an aftermarket aux cooler to a pfl car or have any other solutions for a pfl manual car . Thankyou

I also have the 280, I am however running a DSG. As you face the car the right hand side is the DSG Cooler on my car and I have upgraded this to keep DSG Temps down and it works very well.

I also have the Racingline oil cooler and this keeps oil temps down well, what sort of temps are you getting on the road and track.

As stock the left hand side (when facing front of the car) on mine was missing but I have had one retrofitted, I will dig out the post I put together on this but I thought this one was for engine temps but happy to be wrong.

Found it, this is my document https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/anybody-retrofitted-a-second-aux-radiator.473827/ explaining what is required to fit the aux radiator.

and this one https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/oil-cooler-information-share.474483/ for the details of the oil cooler.

Appreciate the reply pal . Mines a manual . I thought I would have at least one of the aux coolers but I don’t have any

I am no expert but I think the reason I had one aux cooler is because it looks after the DSG (Which you dont have) but nothing on the other side. Therefore logically you would have none.

How much of a drop did you get with the racingline cooler
