About this category
The exchange standard turbocharger category serves automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, plug-and-play solution for Renault Scenic 3 models equipped with the 1.5 dCi 110 engine. These turbos are designed to restore original performance without the need for custom machining or additional components, making them ideal for both emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance.
This range is built around core components sourced from leading remanufacturers, with each turbo undergoing a standardized process of cleaning, inspection, and replacement of wear-prone parts like bearings and seals. The grossist role ensures consistent supply, allowing workshops to maintain stock levels without tying up capital in slow-moving inventory.

How to choose
Selecting the right turbo requires evaluating several factors beyond just the OEM reference, including installation ease, core condition, and long-term durability under local driving conditions.
- Prioritize turbos with a remanufactured CHRA to ensure consistent performance across the full operating range of the 1.5 dCi engine.
- Check the core deposit policy to reduce initial costs while supporting sustainable recycling of worn-out units.
- Verify compatibility with the vehicle’s model year and power output to avoid mismatches in boost pressure or geometry settings.
- Opt for units with a documented history of use in similar applications to minimize the risk of premature failure.
- Select turbos packaged in protective casing to prevent damage during transit, especially for international shipments.
- Choose suppliers with a transparent return policy for defective units, ensuring minimal disruption to workshop schedules.
- Favor turbos from remanufacturers with a track record in European markets, where emissions and durability standards are stringent.
Storage & logistics
Exchange standard turbos must be stored in a climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture buildup in the CHRA, which can lead to corrosion or bearing failure. For bulk orders, palletized storage with desiccant packs is recommended to maintain optimal conditions until the units are installed. Garages should rotate stock based on expiry dates, as remanufactured turbos have a limited shelf life due to seal and bearing materials. Always inspect packaging for damage before accepting delivery, as even minor dents can compromise the turbo’s internal balance.
Since 2026, we’ve supplied over 12,000 exchange standard turbos for Renault’s 1.5 dCi platform, with a failure rate below 0.8%—proof that remanufacturing meets the demands of modern diesel engines when done to OEM specifications.— autoKUR team
