CSF High Performance All Aluminium Radiator Ford Fiesta ST Mk7 ST180

The 1.6L EcoBoost motor found in the Mk7 Fiesta ST makes some impressive power for its size which made the Fiesta ST a blast to drive. However, the factory cooling system was always a problem with the car having overheating issues even when completely stock. The best solution is a High Performance All-Aluminium Radiator from CSF.

Design And Engineering

CSF teamed up with industry EcoBoost experts to bring you the best radiator upgrade for the Fiesta ST. They needed a solution to the excessive coolant temperatures many of their customers were seeing. Especially those running their higher power racing engines. CSF engineered the radiator for the best possible performance and fitment. 

While the radiator was designed for super high performance race engines, anyone with a Fiesta ST can benefit from upgrading. Even modest power increases or even just hard driving can cause overheating with the factory radiator. The CSF Radiator is the ultimate cooling solution for any Fiesta ST owner.

CSF vs OEM

The original OE radiator from Ford is a plastic tank with a single row aluminium core design. It has always been inadequate for anyone driving their Fiesta ST hard. Even just commuting in really hot weather can cause overheating issues. Turbo cars get hot, and the 1.6L EcoBoost is no exception. Anything you can do to help keep coolant temps in check will improve the longevity of your engine and help the car run smoothly.

CSF’s 42mm 2-Row aluminium core is a massive improvement over the factory core. The combination of a thicker core, second cooling row, and increased fluid capacity drastically improves the amount of heat the system can absorb and dissipate. CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. In addition, the super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximise airflow through the core for the best possible cooling performance.

All CSF Performance Radiators are 100% TIG-Welded All Aluminium construction which increases the overall strength of the radiator. This improves durability and longevity so you can be confident the CSF radiator will keep your Fiesta ST cool for a long time.

Triple Pass Advantage

One of the biggest advantages of the CSF Radiator over the OE Unit is the Triple Pass design. The internal routing of the radiator forces the coolant to flow through the core three times (see diagram below), maximising heat dissipation and resulting in lower coolant temperatures. This type of configuration ensures more even heat dissipation, reducing hotspots and promoting more consistent cooling.
