How to choose

Selecting the right turbo for the 1.6 dCi 115 hp involves evaluating several factors beyond just price. Compatibility with the vehicle’s exact motorization, the condition of the core deposit, and the remanufacturing process all play a role in ensuring long-term reliability.

6. Look for turbos that include clear documentation of their remanufacturing origin, even if the country of manufacture isn’t specified, to build trust with customers.
7. Evaluate the supplier’s rotation policy for exchange standard turbos, as fresher stock often translates to better initial performance and fewer early failures.

Storage & logistics

For garages and workshops, storing exchange standard turbos for the 1.6 dCi 115 hp requires attention to environmental conditions to prevent contamination or damage. Keep units in their original packaging until installation, away from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure they are stored upright to avoid oil leaks from the CHRA.
