Overview

The Audi Turbo Intercooler, OEM Part Number 079145785J, is a critical component for the intake system in various Audi models. It functions to lower the temperature of compressed air from the turbocharger, thereby improving engine performance and efficiency. A faulty intercooler can lead to decreased power and engine knocking.

This intercooler is compatible with Audi A8, RS7, S6, S7, and S8 models from 2014 to 2018, specifically those equipped with the 4.0L V8 Turbo engine. It may also be referred to as a Cooler Core. Compatible OEM part numbers include 079145785H and 079145785G.
Show original supplier description
The Audi Turbo Intercooler, bearing OEM Part Number 079145785J, is a vital part of the intake system designed to optimize performance in high-output Audi vehicles. Its primary role is to effectively cool the compressed air exiting the turbocharger before it enters the engine. This process is crucial for maintaining consistent power delivery, improving fuel efficiency, and preventing engine knocking caused by excessively hot intake air. This intercooler is specifically engineered for Audi models equipped with the 4.0L V8 Turbo engine, including the A8, RS7, S6, S7, and S8. It is a direct replacement for OEM part number 079145785J and is also compatible with or replaces part numbers 079145785H and 079145785G. The component may also be known as a Cooler Core. Fitment for this intercooler is detailed and requires careful attention to specific production dates and engine codes. For example, certain 2014-2017 Audi RS7 models require production dates between 06/16/14 and 07/26/16, and specific engine codes like CRDB or CWUB. Similarly, 2015-2017 Audi A8 and S8 models, as well as 2016-2017 Audi S6 and S7 models, have specific production date cutoffs or ranges that must be met for proper compatibility. It is highly recommended to verify fitment with a VIN before ordering, as variations exist even within the same model year and engine type.
