AIRTEC’s ATINTVAG34 is the only properly engineered front-mount intercooler for the MK3 Caddy 1.6 TDI (CBAB, CAYC) and 2.0 TDI (CAHA, CAVF, CKRA) - no bumper trimming, full crash bar retention, and built for fast road or track day use.
Stage 1 & stage 2 fit: flows enough air to support up to ~180bhp reliably; proven with ECU remaps on EA189 and EA288 engines
Decat + remap ready: handles increased boost and heat soak better than stock, especially under sustained load
60mm bar-and-plate core with cast aluminium end tanks - stronger and more consistent than brazed-alloy alternatives
Includes silicone hoses, stainless T-bolt clamps and full fitting guide - no guesswork
Fits all MK3 Caddy variants with 1.6 TDI (74bhp / 101bhp) and 2.0 TDI (74bhp / 101bhp / 148bhp), including BlueMotion and DSG models
