Product Description

The Cooltec Water Flange Upper Radiator is a crucial component in your vehicle's cooling system, responsible for directing coolant flow between the radiator and engine. This part features a durable plastic Y-shaped design with multiple hose connections and a secure metal retaining clip, ensuring a leak-resistant fit in demanding engine environments.

This water flange is compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen models, including popular vehicles like the VW Golf VII, Tiguan, Audi A3, and TT with 2.0 GTI, TSI, or TFSI engines from 2012 onwards.
