The CTS Intercooler has been specially developed for the 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine (M276 DE 30 AL) and takes cooling performance to the next level for increased power. The part is designed for, amongst others, the Mercedes-Benz C400, C450 AMG and C43 AMG (W205), the E43 AMG and E450 AMG (W213), the GLC 43 AMG (X253) and the GLE 43 AMG (C292).
the intercooler features a redesigned core measuring 222 mm x 297 mm x 95 mm, representing a 134 per cent increase in external core volume compared to the original Intercooler. Thanks to the optimised design, heat transfer is efficient and the internal airflow has been optimised. With CAD-optimised cast aluminium end tanks and advanced CFD simulations, this intercooler delivers outstanding cooling performance with minimal pressure loss, making it suitable for sporty road driving and occasional track use.
Thanks to the high-quality anti-corrosion coating, cooling performance is maintained over the long term. Furthermore, the intercooler is a direct replacement requiring no modifications, making installation straightforward.

Frequently asked questions
How much larger is this intercooler than the original?
The external core volume is 134% larger. The original core is 2.7 litres, the CTS core is 6.3 litres.
Does it need to be cut or modified?
No. It is a direct replacement for the original part; no cutting is required and all fitting materials are included.
What do I need to bear in mind during fitting?
To refit the radiator fan with the CTS Intercooler installed, the main coolant hose must be disconnected on one side. The fan is close to the intercooler but does not touch it.
