How to choose

Selecting the right exchange standard turbo for your 2.0 TDI 170 hp requires attention to compatibility and condition. Consider core deposit options, packaging integrity, and supplier reliability to ensure a smooth replacement process.

1. Verify the turbocharger’s compatibility with your vehicle’s exact motorization, including power output and year of manufacture.
2. Check for core deposit systems to reduce costs and simplify the return of your old turbocharger.
3. Inspect the packaging for damage or tampering to ensure the unit arrives in optimal condition.
4. Prioritize suppliers with a track record of consistent quality and transparent remanufacturing processes.
5. Confirm the turbo’s condition—whether it’s generalüberholt (fully remanufactured) or in a core deposit-ready state.
6. Assess the supplier’s logistics, including delivery times and core return procedures, to avoid delays.
7. Evaluate the warranty terms, though no specific duration is guaranteed beyond standard industry practices.

Storage & logistics

For workshops and bulk buyers, storing exchange standard turbos requires climate control to prevent moisture damage and corrosion. Core deposit units should be kept in sealed, labeled containers to track returns efficiently. Rotate stock regularly to ensure freshness, and avoid stacking turbos to prevent warping. German buyers should store units in a dry, temperature-stable environment, away from direct sunlight, to maintain performance characteristics.
