15" or 17" radiator for 2002 audi allroad
I see there are 2 radiator sizes for our allroads and I would like to get the 17" for more cooling, will a 17" fit in a 2002 allroad? Or is oem 15"?

- As far as I know there is only one type for the 2,7T. = approx 42mm width !!! It weighs 2x more than of the TDI
- For the diesels. =approx 32-33mm width
- A third one for the 4.2.
Aftermarket ones are meant only for the TDI's.
I have never ever seen aftermarket cooler for the biturbo.
OEM sounds: 4Z7121251B
In case you try to match an aftermarket type, you will have face size (mount) and cooling performance problems.

I went with the 17" radiator, measured mine and it was definitely bigger than 15" so. Just interesting that even autozone lists a 15" or a 17" as fitting my car.
