About this category
The Renault 1.9 DCi 116 hp turbo category addresses a common failure point in diesel engines, where loss of power, excessive smoke, or a whining noise signals a failing turbocharger. This range serves both professional mechanics and car owners performing their own repairs, offering exchange standard turbos that restore original performance without the cost of new units. The turbos listed here are designed for models produced between 2001 and 2012, covering a wide array of Renault, Nissan, and Dacia vehicles.
This range is built by specialist remanufacturers who disassemble, inspect, and rebuild turbos to original specifications, replacing worn components like the CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly) and variable geometry mechanisms. The turbos are then tested for pressure, leaks, and efficiency before being packaged for wholesale distribution, ensuring reliability for garages and private buyers.
