Storage & logistics

For workshops managing inventory of remanufactured turbos for the 1.6 CDTI 136 hp, proper storage is essential to maintain part integrity and prevent premature failure. Units should be kept in a climate-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to protect seals and internal components from degradation. Palletized crates must be stored on flat, stable surfaces to avoid pressure points that could distort the housing or damage the CHRA. Regular inventory rotation ensures older stock is used first, reducing the risk of parts sitting unused for extended periods. Clear labeling with part numbers and motorization compatibility helps staff quickly locate the correct turbo during busy repair schedules, minimizing errors and delays in the workshop workflow.
