Select the year of your Audi A4:
If you’re looking to up your game with your Audi B9 A4/A5 or S4/S5, the AWE ColdFront Intercooler is worth a serious look. This isn’t just another aftermarket part; it’s a well-thought-out upgrade that I’ve personally seen make a real difference. With its cast aluminum end tanks featuring internal baffling and a tough bar/plate aluminum core, you’re getting a setup that boosts frontal surface area by 130% and increases volume by a whopping 83% compared to the stock intercooler. That’s a big deal for keeping your engine cool, especially if you’re pushing more boost than the factory setup allows.
One of the coolest things about this intercooler is how it keeps your intake air temperatures down. When you’re out there on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is heat soaking your performance. This unit minimizes pressure drop, ensuring your engine’s output stays consistent, no matter how hot it gets outside. You can really push the limits with confidence knowing you’ve got that safety margin.
Installation? It’s a breeze. No cutting or major modifications required. You can reuse your factory intercooler hoses and clamps, which means you can get back on the road without a hassle. It fits snugly behind the stock crash bar, so you don’t have to worry about it sticking out or looking out of place. Plus, it’s all aluminum, which means you’re maximizing heat transfer while keeping things lightweight.
Here’s a quick rundown of what makes this intercooler a solid choice:
- 130% more frontal surface area than stock—seriously, that’s a lot more cooling power.
- 83% increase in volume over the factory unit, so your engine breathes easier.
- Efficient bar and plate core design—this isn’t just for show; it’s built to perform.
- CAD designed and CFD tested, meaning it’s been through the ringer to ensure optimal flow.
- TIG welded and pressure tested before it even leaves the facility, so you know it’s built to last.
- No impact on your OE radiator or A/C systems, which is a huge plus.
- And of course, it’s all designed and assembled in-house at AWE, guaranteeing a perfect fit.
- Plus, there’s the AWE No Check Engine Light Guarantee—always a nice peace of mind.
As for fitment, this intercooler works with a variety of models, including:
- Audi A4 allroad (2018-2020)
- Audi S5 Sportback (2018-2024)
- Audi A5 Quattro (2018-2024)
- Audi S5 (2018-2024)
- Audi S4 (2018-2024)
- Audi A4 Quattro (2017-2024)
If you’re ready to dive into the install, you can find the instructions here. This intercooler is a game-changer, and it’s built for those who want to take their Audi to the next level without the hassle. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
