Funny thing that radiators are essentially unchanged in design from 100 years ago. Still easily clogged with dust and debris. About time someone came up with a better alternative?
FWIW, those look like coolant hoses as opposed to oil or transmission fluid lines so I'm guessing it's just an auxiliary radiator. Happy to be corrected, though.

I am certainly NOT arguing but I'm amazed at the lines that attach to that radiator for Transmission Fluid - normally transmission fluid is circulated under high pressure, unless the Audi transmission has a low pressure cooling - heat exchanger system. Good to know!

I had to go back and find the coolant circuit diagram to double check this, but yes it has an ATF to coolant heat exchanger affixed to the transmission along with a thermostat.
