Turbocharger MERCEDES GLA (H247) 180 136 hp

This category covers turbochargers specifically designed for Renault’s 1.5 dCi diesel engines producing 180 or 136 horsepower, a motorization widely used in commercial vehicles and passenger cars across Europe. These turbos are essential for maintaining optimal engine performance, as they regulate the air-fuel mixture under varying loads. Whether you’re a mechanic looking to replace a worn unit or a car owner diagnosing a loss of power, this section provides the right turbo for your vehicle’s exact specifications.

How to choose

Selecting the right turbo for your Renault 1.5 dCi involves more than just matching the engine code—consider factors like core condition, packaging, and supplier reliability to avoid costly mistakes.

1. Prioritize turbos with a visible core deposit label, as this ensures you can return the old unit without additional fees or delays in processing.
2. Check the packaging for moisture barriers and shock-absorbent materials, which protect the turbo during transit and storage in a workshop environment.
3. Opt for suppliers who provide clear documentation of the remanufacturing process, including bearing replacements and seal inspections, to deliver consistent performance.
4. Verify the turbo’s compatibility with your vehicle’s model year, as minor design changes may affect fitment even within the same engine family.
5. Choose units with a warranty backed by the remanufacturer, as this offers an extra layer of assurance for professionals who demand reliability.
6. Select turbos that include pre-lubricated bearings, reducing the risk of dry starts and extending the component’s lifespan after installation.
7. Favor suppliers with a fast turnover of stock, as this indicates fresh remanufacturing batches and reduces the likelihood of receiving outdated or improperly stored units.

Storage & logistics

Storing exchange standard turbos requires controlled conditions to preserve their condition until installation. Keep units in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can degrade seals and lubricants. For garages, designate a dry, temperature-stable storage area, ideally with shelving that prevents vibration or impact damage. Always inspect the turbo for signs of moisture or contamination before installation, as even minor exposure can compromise performance. If storing for extended periods, rotate stock to ensure older units are used first, maintaining a fresh supply of remanufactured turbos for your customers.
