- Core deposit policy : Confirm the return process for the old turbo to avoid unnecessary fees or delays in processing.
- Rotation stock : For garages, choose turbos with a first-in-first-out system to maintain fresh inventory and performance standards.
- Compatibility cross-check : Use the vehicle’s engine code and model year to confirm the turbo’s fitment before ordering.
Storage & logistics
For workshops, storing exchange standard turbos for the 1.9 TDI 90 hp demands a controlled environment to preserve the remanufactured state of each unit. Keep turbos in their original packaging, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to prevent corrosion or seal degradation. Implement a rotation system where older stock is used first, ensuring no unit exceeds its recommended shelf life. For bulk storage, use shelving with dividers to organize turbos by model and engine code, reducing retrieval time during busy periods. Regularly inspect packaging for damage, and maintain a log of stock levels to avoid shortages or overstocking. This approach ensures that every turbo remains ready for immediate fitment, whether for a routine service or an emergency repair.
