MAHLE CI94000P Charge Air Cooler

Description

The MAHLE CI94000P is a Charge Air Cooler, designed to reduce the temperature of the air entering the engine, increasing air density and improving combustion efficiency. This intercooler is typically used in turbocharged vehicles to maximize performance and reduce emissions. Its robust construction and efficient design contribute to improved engine power output, enhanced fuel economy, and extended engine life. This unit measures 615 x 190 x 985 mm and is manufactured in Slovakia.

Key Features & Benefits

This part takes the hot, compressed air coming from your turbocharger and cools it down. Think of it like a radiator, but for the air going into the engine instead of coolant going out after it’s warmed things up. It’s basically a heat exchanger. Air gets really hot when compressed by the turbo, and this cooler brings that temperature down before it enters the engine cylinders. It sits somewhere between your turbocharger and the intake manifold. Air leaves the turbo hot and dense, goes through the charge air cooler to get cooled and less dense, and then flows into the engine to be mixed with fuel and burned. It's a key piece in getting the most out of a turbocharged engine.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Hot air is less dense, meaning there’s less oxygen in it. Less oxygen means the engine can’t burn fuel as efficiently, reducing power and fuel economy. This cooler makes the air denser, letting the engine breathe easier and make more power. It also protects the engine, as really hot intake air can cause detonation—essentially, the fuel ignites at the wrong time—which can cause serious damage. It acts like a shield for your engine in that way. You’ll notice if this part fails because you'll likely see a significant loss of power, the engine might run rough, and sometimes you'll even get a check engine light. We have a good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you’re looking to replace one.
