Product Description

The Cooltec Water Flange Upper Radiator is an essential component in your vehicle's cooling system, designed to securely connect radiator hoses and manage coolant flow between the engine and radiator. This part ensures that coolant is efficiently directed, helping to maintain optimal engine temperature during operation. Its robust plastic construction and metal retaining clips provide a reliable seal for long-term performance.

This water flange is suitable for select models from Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen, including popular vehicles such as the Audi A3, VW Golf, and Touran. Due to variations across models, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Common symptoms of a faulty water flange include coolant leaks, visible cracks or damage, frequent overheating, low coolant warnings, or steam from the engine bay. You may also notice difficulty maintaining coolant levels, or hoses becoming loose at the flange connection.

Replacement is recommended if you observe leaks, cracks, or if the retaining clips have failed. Timely replacement helps prevent coolant loss and potential overheating, which can lead to severe engine damage.
