Audi Automatic Transmission diagram for S6, S7

An automatic transmission oil cooler is a heat exchanger that helps regulate the temperature of transmission fluid. It works by circulating the hot transmission fluid through a cooler (often located in front of the radiator or as part of it), where air or coolant lowers the fluid temperature before it returns to the transmission. Keeping transmission fluid cool is essential for preventing overheating, reducing wear, and extending the lifespan of the transmission.

• Overheating transmission – warning lights, slipping gears, or loss of power due to fluid running too hot.
• Fluid leaks – puddles or wet spots under the vehicle near the cooler or cooler lines.
• Contaminated fluid – coolant mixing with transmission fluid (milky appearance) or debris in the fluid leading to shifting problems.

About Mahle Behr

Mahle Behr GmbH & Co. KG is a German corporation active in the automobile industry, headquartered in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. It is a specialist for automotive air conditioning and engine cooling systems. Mahle began in 1920 when pistons made of heavy gray cast iron were being used in internal combustion engines for automobiles and there was a need for a new design. The Mahle brothers countered this trend by producing light-alloy pistons at their small, newly established company however the technology was still finicky and problems come up frequently. They soon determined that they needed to come up with a solution to keep dirt and dust out of the engine so they eventually developed air and oil filters as well. Their perseverance paid off and the light-alloy pistons began to take over the market. Today, half of all automobiles produced worldwide contain MAHLE components. MAHLE offers an extensive range of parts for everyone including pistons, cylinder liners, piston ring sets, bearings, assemblies, valves, valve train components, and air, oil, fuel, and cabin air filters. Their catalog and online database of aftermarket engine components is an indispensable reference.In early 2016, Stuttgart-based MAHLE GmbH increased its holding in the Behr Group from 36.85 percent to approximately 51 percent with the acquisition of all shares in the BWK GmbH holding company. The company now goes by Mahle-Behr.
