New Audi Q3 Turbo – Ref. 04L253124A

Restore the full performance of the Audi Q3 2.0 TDI quattro

On an Audi Q3 fitted with the 2.0 TDI quattro 190 ch engine, a turbo in good condition makes itself felt immediately behind the wheel: throttle response is crisp from low revs, the engine regains its torque without hesitation or unwanted whistling, and driving under load (luggage, towing, motorway journeys) becomes effortless once more. Conversely, a worn turbo shows itself through a gradual loss of power, exhaust smoke, or the vehicle entering a limp-home mode that limits the SUV's everyday performance.

A new turbo compatible with reference 04L253124A

This new turbo is compatible with reference 04L253124A, used on the Audi Q3 fitted with the 2.0 TDI quattro 190 ch engine, with engine codes DDAA, DFCA and DFHA. Before placing an order, it is essential to verify this reference directly on the old turbo fitted to your vehicle, as several variants may exist depending on the exact version of the Q3.

Exchange basis and warranty

This turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of the old turbo is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. It is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so that the Audi Q3 is not left off the road during the process. The part carries a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

Common causes of turbo failure on the 2.0 TDI quattro

On this engine, turbo failure most commonly results from a lubrication fault caused by incorrect oil or missed oil changes, a clogged air filter disrupting the intake, or a cracked intercooler hose causing a drop in boost pressure. Driving habits that alternate between hard acceleration and immediately switching off the engine, without allowing a cooling-down period, also accelerate wear on the bearings.

Advice before fitting on your Q3

Before installing this new turbo, the oil circuit should be checked (feed pipe, oil return) along with the air hoses and the turbo air intake, to prevent any contamination of the new component. Priming with oil before the first start is recommended to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings as soon as the engine is running.
