Does Scirocco R have 2 radiators???

Am I right in saying that the Scirocco R has 2 radiators? One main one (front mounted) and 1 side one on the passenger side (behind grille)????

The 2nd radiator you are referring to is probably the intercooler. Cools the air between the turbo and the intake.

There is is also a condenser for the air con in front of the main radiator.

hi mate, I was under the impression the R has a a/c condenserion then the intercooler is sandwiched inbetween that and the radiator?? So all 3 are stacked? I seem to have some sort of radiator to the lower right (as you look at my car from the front) behind the right hand grille insert. Or is this my DSG cooler??
