Which Tiguan models does the APR Intercooler for Tiguan fit?

The APR Intercooler for Tiguan fits the 2018 to 2024 Tiguan with the 2.0T and the 8 speed automatic, transmission code 09P. The same part also fits the 2019 to 2021 Arteon and the 2019 to 2025 Audi Q3 with that transmission.

Will the APR Q3 intercooler work with Adaptive Cruise Control?

Yes. APR designed the cooler to be fully compatible with Adaptive Cruise Control, and no change to the ACC system is needed. It mounts in the factory location, uses the factory air dams and needs no trimming or cutting to install.

How much bigger is the APR Arteon intercooler than stock?

The APR core holds 877.5 cubic inches. APR lists the factory Tiguan core at 457.1 cubic inches and compares the Arteon to the 529.8 cubic inch Golf R core, so the APR unit adds a large amount of cooling capacity on every listed model.

Does my 2022 Arteon use this APR intercooler?

No. This version is for the 8 speed automatic, which the Arteon used from 2019 to 2021. APR lists the 2022 and 2023 Arteon with the DSG transmission under its MQB intercooler instead, so check your transmission before you order.

Do I need a tune for the APR Tiguan intercooler?

No tune is required, and APR recommends the cooler at every stage. On a stock car it keeps intake temperature down when towing or in hot weather. On a tuned car, the larger core helps the engine keep the timing and power the calibration asks for.

Description

APR Intercooler for Tiguan, Arteon and Q3 2.0T 8 Speed

The APR Intercooler for Tiguan, Arteon and Q3 models with the 2.0T and the 8 speed automatic replaces the factory front mount with a much thicker bar and plate core in the original location. At 877.5 cubic inches it nearly doubles the 457.1 cubic inch factory Tiguan core, holding intake air temperature down and resisting heat soak. It keeps Adaptive Cruise Control working, needs no trimming and is recommended at every stage of tune.

Core and End Tank Design

Testing set the core style, fin density and size: a bar and plate core with staggered, louvered fins for strong cooling with a low pressure drop. Cast 356 aluminum end tanks spread air across the whole core, the factory air dams still feed it, and each cooler is pressure tested against boost leaks.

Notes

The Intercooler for Tiguan, Arteon and Q3 fits cars with the 8 speed automatic (09P) only. The 2022 and 2023 Arteon with the DSG uses the APR Intercooler for MQB
APR quotes a 21 horsepower gain over the factory system for its MQB intercoolers without naming the test car or software, so treat it as a guide

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
