Storage & logistics
For workshops and private buyers storing exchange standard turbos for the 2.0 TFSI 95 kW engine, maintaining the right conditions is essential to preserving the unit’s integrity until installation. Store turbos in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and sources of vibration, as these factors can degrade seals and bearings over time. Avoid stacking units or placing heavy objects on top of them, which could distort the housing or damage internal components. If storing for an extended period, consider using desiccant packs in the packaging to control humidity and prevent corrosion. Always keep the turbo in its original protective wrapping until installation to shield it from dust and contaminants, and ensure the core deposit paperwork is filed correctly to avoid delays when the time comes to return the old unit.
