Hi,

Does the new S6 have one or two intercoolers?

Thanks,

Well, the answer is technically two. There is a charge air cooler in the inner V of the cylinder banks that you can see the top of if you remove the plastic cover. There is also a coolant radiator for charge air cooling down at the bottom of the front of the car. You can say theres a third one if you include the "auxiliary coolant cooler" in front of the drivers side wheel well.

But in the truest sense of the word intercooler, theres only the one at the top.

So it uses a water to air intercooler then? If so, is the coolant for this purpose isolated or common to the cooling system?

I have been looking for technical information on how exactly the S6 handles the charge cooling aspect of things. I can't seem to find any information or pictures that will tell the tale.

Does the pressurized air from the two turbos combine into one liquid to air intercooler? Or, are there two seperate coolers for the charge air?

Any information would be appreciated!
