Signs of a failing turbo on your Audi A3 1.9 TDI
On the Audi A3 fitted with the 1.9 TDI engine, a turbocharger that is nearing the end of its life often makes itself known through a noticeable loss of power under acceleration, blue or black exhaust smoke, an unusual whistling noise from under the bonnet, or excessive oil consumption. An illuminated engine warning light accompanied by the vehicle entering limp mode is also a common symptom when boost pressure is no longer being properly controlled. These warning signs should prompt you to have the boost circuit checked without delay, before the fault worsens.
Compatibility of the new turbo with the Audi A3 1.9 TDI
This new turbo is compatible with reference 454231-5008S, used on Audi A3 models fitted with the 1.9 TDI. Before placing an order, it is essential to verify the exact match by checking the reference number printed on your existing turbocharger, as several housing variants were fitted to this model depending on the version and year of manufacture.

Exchange basis and warranty for this new turbo
This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of the old turbocharger is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. The old unit is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your Audi A3 is not left off the road unnecessarily. The part is covered by a 12-month parts warranty, provided fitting is carried out by a professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, up to 10 instalments.
Advice before fitting on your A3 1.9 TDI
Before installing the new turbo, it is recommended that you check the condition of the oil circuit, hoses and air intake, as a new turbo fitted to a dirty or poorly maintained circuit can be damaged very quickly. Remember also to check the air filter and intercooler, both of which directly affect the service life of the turbocharger. When starting up, priming the turbo with oil before the first start prevents the bearings from running dry. Finally, an oil change using a suitable high-quality oil and regular servicing will reduce the risk of premature failure on this type of turbocharged diesel engine.
