Due to the tight packaging of the 15-degree narrow-angle 2.8L engine, underhood airflow is heavily restricted. The stock single-row copper\/brass or aluminum core rapidly succumbs to heat soak during aggressive driving or track conditions, driving coolant temperatures past optimal operating windows and robbing the engine of timing and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis direct-fit performance radiator features 100% TIG-welded AA5052 aircraft-grade aluminum end tanks fused to a 2-row crossflow core measuring 24.61 in W x 13.70 in H x 1.42 in. The furnace-brazed aluminum tube-and-fin design maximizes thermal transfer surface area, dissipating heat substantially faster than OEM assemblies. Each unit is 100% pressure-decay leak tested to guarantee structural integrity under high pressure. Engineered exclusively for manual transmission setups, it features 1.26-inch inlets and outlets and includes an integrated billet filler neck and high-pressure radiator cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1994-1998 Volkswagen Jetta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2.8L AAA 12v VR6 \/ Mk3 (Typ 1H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e172 hp \/ 173 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eAN67329\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1994-1998 Volkswagen Jetta GLX 2.8L V6 Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1994-1998 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 2.8L V6 Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransmission: Manual transmission only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoolers: Transmission and engine oil coolers not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterchange: DPI 2094, CU2094, CC2094, 3599, 7644A, 8012094, SPTCU2094\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Volkswagen Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to maintain strict European operating tolerances, this all-aluminum unit drops into OEM mounting locations without custom trimming or modification, ensuring reliable temperature regulation and zero underhood clearance issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50459215954168,"sku":"DS-E7RBNCXUD","price":138.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-volkswagen-jetta-1994-1998-2-8l-manual-1.jpg?v=1788808994","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-radiator-for-volkswagen-jetta-1994-1998-2-8l-manual","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
