What changes behind the wheel of your Audi A6 with a healthy turbo

On an Audi A6 (C7) fitted with the 2.0 TDI, a turbo in good condition makes itself felt immediately: crisp pick-up from low revs, smooth and linear power delivery up to peak torque, and no black smoke under acceleration. A worn turbo, by contrast, shows up as sluggish throttle response, a noticeable loss of power – especially when overtaking or under load (towing, motorway driving) – and sometimes an unusual whistling noise or rising oil consumption. Fitting a new turbo restores the original driving feel of this saloon, which is well regarded for its refinement and fuel efficiency in mixed use.

Compatibility of the new turbo for the Audi A6 2.0 TDI

This new turbo is compatible with reference 818987-5001S, intended for Audi A6 (C7) models fitted with the 2.0 TDI 163 hp and 177 hp, 1968 cm3 Diesel engines. The engine codes covered are CAHA, CAHB, CGLA, CGLB, CGLC, CGLD, CGLE, CMGA and CMGB. Before placing an order, we recommend checking the reference printed on your vehicle's original turbo, as several housing or actuator variants may exist depending on the year and trim level.

Exchange basis and warranty for this Audi A6 turbo

This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of your 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 your Audi A6 is never left off the road unnecessarily. The part carries a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over up to 10 instalments.

Fitting and maintenance advice for the 2.0 TDI

The most common causes of turbo failure on this engine are insufficient lubrication, poor-quality oil or neglected oil changes, a clogged air filter, or an intercooler fouled with oil deposits. Before fitting, check the oil circuit (feed and return hoses, no blockages), the cleanliness of the boost hoses, and the condition of the air intake. When starting up for the first time, prime the turbo with oil before running the engine, to ensure the bearings are lubricated immediately and to avoid any dry running.
