Below, the two core turbo references for the C4 Aircross are presented with their key attributes, ensuring buyers can identify the correct part for their specific engine configuration and model year.

How to choose

Selecting the right turbo for a C4 Aircross involves evaluating several factors beyond just the engine code, including core condition, packaging, and compatibility with existing systems.

1. Verify the engine code (e.g., DV6C for 1.6 BlueHDi) to ensure the turbo matches the vehicle's exact specifications and model year.
2. Inspect the core deposit policy: some remanufacturers require returning the old turbo within a set timeframe to avoid additional fees.
3. Check the packaging for protective seals and documentation confirming the turbo's remanufactured status and testing standards.
4. Assess the warranty terms provided by the supplier, focusing on coverage duration and conditions rather than vague promises of quality.
5. Confirm the turbo's variable geometry mechanism is functional if the original unit exhibited sluggish response or excessive smoke.
6. Evaluate the supplier's rotation policy for stock turbos to avoid delays in receiving a freshly remanufactured unit.
7. Prioritize turbos with clear OEM reference markings to simplify installation and reduce the risk of misfit during assembly.

Storage & logistics

For B2B buyers, proper storage of exchange turbos is critical to maintaining their condition before installation. Keep units in a climate-controlled environment, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to prevent corrosion or seal degradation. Store turbos in their original packaging or equivalent protective cases, ensuring the CHRA and cartridge remain undamaged. Rotate stock regularly to avoid holding obsolete references, and always check for expired core deposit deadlines to prevent additional costs. Label inventory clearly with engine codes and model years to streamline picking during urgent repairs.
