How to choose

Selecting the right turbo for the 1.6 TDI 120 hp engine requires attention to several key factors. Compatibility with the vehicle’s motorization, the condition of the core, and the reputation of the remanufacturer all play a role in ensuring long-term reliability.

1. Verify the turbo’s compatibility with your vehicle’s exact motorization and power output to avoid mismatches.

Storage & logistics

For workshops and bulk buyers, proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition. Keep units in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent corrosion or damage to seals. Organize inventory by motorization and compatibility to streamline order fulfillment. Regularly rotate stock to ensure older units are used first, reducing the risk of obsolescence. Label each turbo clearly with its reference and intended application to avoid confusion during picking and installation.
