New Volkswagen Tiguan Turbo – Ref. 785448-5005S

Signs of a worn turbo on your Tiguan 2.0 TDI

On a Volkswagen Tiguan fitted with a 2.0 TDI 170 or 177 hp engine, a turbo that is nearing the end of its life will often make itself known through a loss of power under acceleration, unusual whistling or whining from the turbo, blue or black smoke from the exhaust, and increased fuel consumption. An engine warning light on the dashboard and sluggish performance – particularly on hills or under load – are also warning signs that should not be ignored on this model.

Compatibility of the new turbo for the Volkswagen Tiguan

This new turbo is compatible with reference 785448-5005S, intended for Volkswagen Tiguan models fitted with a 2.0 TDI engine producing 170 or 177 hp, associated with engine codes CBBB, CFGB or CFGC. Before placing an order, it is strongly recommended that you check the reference printed on the old turbo or on the vehicle's identification plate, as certain variants of the 2.0 TDI may have been fitted with different turbos depending on the production period.

Exchange basis and warranty for your Tiguan

This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of the old turbo is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, but it is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your Tiguan is not left off the road unnecessarily. The part comes with 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, to make your purchase easier.

Tips for fitting the turbo on your Tiguan

Before fitting this new turbo to your Tiguan 2.0 TDI, several checks are essential to protect its longevity. Inspect the condition of the oil circuit, the cleanliness of the hoses, and check for any leaks at the sump, as poor lubrication or low-quality oil remains a frequent cause of premature failure on this type of engine. Also check the condition of the air filter and intercooler, as well as the airtightness of the air intake, to prevent the turbo from being contaminated by impurities. When starting the engine for the first time, oil priming is essential to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings from the very first start. Finally, drive gently after installation, avoiding high revs during the first few kilometres, to allow the turbo on your Tiguan to bed in under optimal conditions.
