For the RacingLine Oil Cooler kit, this bracket set is an additional mounting option for EU and most other non-USA cars. These cars have an additional lower front crash bar, allowing these mounting brackets to neatly clamp around it for neat, simple install.

The RacingLine Oil Cooler kit comes with hanging brackets included, which require drilling of the main front crash bar of the car to bolt the brackets through. This suits all MQB cars. However, for EU and most of the rest-of-world cars, they are fitted with a lower front crash bar also. If your car has this lower bar, this optional mounting kit is a nice addition to allow you to simply clamp the mounts over this bar rather than drill through the main front crash bar. Please check on your car’s layout to confirm.
