Description
During the development of their high-performance chargecooler solutions for the Mercedes A45 AMG, Forge Motorsport identified a critical need to address rising DSG transmission oil temperatures under prolonged and aggressive driving conditions. The result is a precision-engineered DSG Oil Cooler Kit tailored specifically for facelift A45 AMG models (2016–2018), offering superior thermal management and transmission longevity for high-performance applications.
The kit features a large, 13-row oil cooler strategically positioned in the nearside lower bumper vent aperture—an area typically unused on UK-spec vehicles. This placement ensures optimal airflow and maximum cooling efficiency, effectively lowering DSG fluid temperatures during spirited driving, track days, or extended high-load scenarios.
Please note: This facelift-specific kit is not compatible with pre-facelift A45 AMG models (2013–2015). For earlier vehicles, refer to Forge part number FMDSGOC1.
