APR Coolant Separation Reservoir Install on Facelift S4?

B8 S4
#1

I am going to upgrade the intercooler in the near future, but figure I can install this guy first.

I took some pics and I don’t see any reason why it wont fit on the facelift cars:

so far i believe everything but the heat exchanger will fit

Okay thanks.

Achtuning has one in stock, I am going to install tonight.

I will throw a new intercooler on when I go to stage 2 (which I think is a must).

Here’s what it looks like in my 2011.

I just called APR’s tech and they have installed “a ton on B8.5’s”

So it looks like a go, the website just hasn’t been updated.

#7

heat exchangers too? last i heard they were still looking for a car to confirm/adjust fitment for that part

#8

I am talking about just the seperator’s.

They have a test vehicle coming in next week for fitment of the new core.

I took at look at a '13, I can’t see anything different, haven’t seen the front end off though to see how the gap has changed. But the pump should work too.

#10

Apparently you cannot relocate the apr pump to the drivers side, stuff is in the way.

Also the new intercooler entry/exit on b8 was on opposite sides, whereas the b8.5 moved all to one side – creating problems with fitment and bracketing of the new pump.

Would be nice to just replace the factory drivers side pump with something bigger. APR uses an off-the-shelf pump anyway…but it’s in series…I’ve used the same pump here at work. The only thing is there is a pwm signal of some sort on the factory pump, the ECU may look for feedback.

Done

BTW, the supplied clamps suck…go the hardware store and buy some real hose clamps before you start.

It does. You’ll get a fault code when removing the OEM pump. It doesn’t leave a CEL, just a soft code and we can code it out, but then the system would require our software to get rid of the code. We’ve discussed just doing that though. Thoughts?

I like that solution better, Arin.

#16

What would be the benefit of removing the stock pump?
