DSG "ICECAP" Cooling System

The ICECAP DSG transmission cooling system makes adding an auxiliary heat exchanger as easy as Eskimo pie. That overheat limp mode will never stop you again! When temperature reaches 138°C/280°F, the Mechatronic unit initiates a reduction in engine torque. At temperatures above 145°C/293°F, the multi-disc clutches are no longer provided with fluid pressure and the torque transfer ceases. Now, you're stuck. -after only about 10 - 15 minutes at the track, during the hot summer. Ready to sit it out for a couple of hours to go at it for another 10 minutes? Is this acceptable?

Once ICECAP equipped, your 02E or 0GC gearbox will remain calm, cool, and collected during  track adventures, autobahn escapades, or any other torture test.

HOT engine "coolant" warms up the transmission quickly but keeps it hot and bothered, too. -nice for regaular street machines but a party pooper for hard-charging vehicles.

ICECAP attaches to the original mount holes with no modifications done to the transmission, flows about 1/2 a liter extra oil, and efficiently radiates heat back into the atmosphere. This system doesn't trap it like the OEM heat sink. It quickly eliminates it. (Rear position is the outlet and the front position is the return.)
