About this category
This category focuses on remanufactured turbochargers designed for the Renault Scenic 3 equipped with the 1.5 dCi 110 engine, a motorization widely used in European compact vehicles. Here, you will find exchange-standard turbos that have undergone professional remanufacturing to restore their original performance levels, addressing common issues like power loss, excessive exhaust smoke, or unusual noises from the engine bay.
The range is built around core components sourced from reputable manufacturers, with each turbo undergoing a standardized remanufacturing process that includes cleaning, inspection, replacement of worn parts, and rigorous testing. This approach ensures consistency in quality while reducing costs compared to purchasing new units, making it ideal for both professional garages and DIY enthusiasts.

How to choose
Selecting the right remanufactured turbocharger depends on several factors, including compatibility, performance expectations, and installation requirements. Below, we outline key criteria to guide your decision.
- Compatibility with the Renault Scenic 3 1.5 dCi 110 engine and its specific motorization code ensures seamless installation without additional modifications.
- Conditioning of the turbocharger—whether as a core assembly, remanufactured unit, or fully tested component—impacts installation time and labor costs for professionals.
- Consistent quality across batches delivers reliable performance, reducing the risk of repeat failures or warranty claims for garages and DIY users.
- Rotation of stock ensures fresh inventory, minimizing the risk of receiving outdated or improperly stored units that may compromise performance.
- Availability in bulk or single-unit formats caters to both high-volume garages and individual customers seeking cost-effective solutions.
- Testing protocols applied during remanufacturing confirm that each turbo meets original equipment performance benchmarks before leaving the facility.
Storage & logistics
For professional garages, storing remanufactured turbos requires controlled environments to prevent contamination or moisture damage. Units should be kept in sealed packaging until installation, with temperature and humidity levels monitored to ensure long-term reliability. Bulk storage solutions, such as climate-controlled shelving or dedicated storage rooms, help maintain the integrity of the turbos and reduce the risk of premature wear or failure.
