Intercooler to suit 118TSI MK6 Golf (Cabriolet)

**Ryan_R** · 31-03-2012, 08:46 PM

Any ideas as to whether this would be beneficial for (and would fit) the 1.4TSI with Audi S3 FMIC (site only mentions the 2.0L)?

TSI S3 FMIC Hose Kit - GTI 2.0T - Mk6 G/J (10+) - VW - PRODUCTS

Found the website via this thread: http://golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5343

And here's an installation guide (with pics) that I found for the S3 FMIC:

Can you use a genuine S3 intercooler?
If so what year/engine S3 is best

Yes genuine s3 intercoolers. Not the new s3. I think the 8p version from 2006 come up.

I wonder if it will fit on a 2015 jetta 118

Part number:

1k0145803BP - S3 intercooler with plastic end tanks. That's the one in my Jetta. There is another part number for s3 intercoolers with metallic end tanks. That one works as well but is more difficult and expensive to get.

I think you guys still get 1.4 twinchargers in the 118tsi Jetta so yes it should work.

Awesome, thanks mate.
I think the other part # is 1K0145803P?
What jetta do you have? And do you feel much difference? also was the install straight forward (take of bumper and unplug plugs)
Yeh its a twin charge. Ive got the carbino CAI andim trying a racechip..

Yeah, it's also a common part with the Mk 6 Golf R (plastic end tanks) although the earlier versions had metal end tanks. Mechanic had to trim the hoses a little. Rawcpoppa did an awesome guide on the Swap too if you haven't seen it.
