Over repeated heat cycling and operating pressures common to the turbocharged \u003cstrong\u003eEA113 2.0T FSI\u003c\/strong\u003e engine, these composite tanks embrittle. Common structural failure points include hairline cracking along the tank seams, failure at the OE quick-disconnect neck couplers, and crimp separation. This rapid loss of coolant leads to sudden thermal spikes, risking severe head gasket damage or cylinder head warpage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis direct-fit performance radiator replaces vulnerable plastic components with a 100% all-aluminum construction. Featuring heavy-duty, TIG-welded end tanks joined to an advanced furnace-brazed aluminum tube-and-fin core, it completely eliminates structural crimp seals. The engineered fin-density profile increases heat-rejection surface area, minimizing thermal soak under sustained boost while maintaining optimal fluid velocity. Fabricated to strict OE dimensional standards, it directly replaces factory reference \u003cstrong\u003e1K0121251DM\u003c\/strong\u003e without requiring chassis modifications.\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; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2006-2008 Volkswagen Passat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEA113 2.0T FSI \/ B6 Chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e200 hp \/ 207 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1K0121251DM, 1K0121251AB, 1K0121251BK, 1K0121251DD, CU2822, VW3010149\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Turbo Sedan \u0026amp; Wagon (B6 Platform)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Turbo Sedan \u0026amp; Wagon (B6 Platform)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2008 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Turbo Sedan \u0026amp; Wagon (B6 Platform)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit the B6 Passat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2006-2008 Volkswagen Passat equipped with the EA113 2.0T engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installation require trimming or aftermarket fan shrouds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No, this unit maintains factory drop-in dimensions and accepts all OEM cooling fans, brackets, and quick-connect hose fittings without alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Volkswagen Engineering Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to precise European performance tolerances, this all-aluminum unit provides dependable temperature regulation and structural durability while ensuring factory sensor integration and zero check-engine lights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50551518200056,"sku":"DS-E7K0WDUFE","price":189.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-volkswagen-passat-2006-2008-2-0l-1.jpg?v=1789779321","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-radiator-for-volkswagen-passat-2006-2008-2-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
