New Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D Turbo – Ref. 49335-01000

Identifying the correct turbo reference for your Mitsubishi ASX

Before ordering a turbo for your Mitsubishi ASX, the first step is to check the exact reference printed on the old turbocharger or on the engine data plate. This new turbo is compatible with reference 49335-01000, fitted to diesel versions of the Mitsubishi ASX. Comparing this reference against your vehicle's own reference helps avoid ordering errors, particularly where several turbo variants have been used on the model throughout its production run.

Engine fitment on the ASX

This new turbo fits the 1.8 DI-D engine of the Mitsubishi ASX, associated with engine code 4N13. This is a 1798 cm³ diesel unit that supplies the compressed air required for combustion and engine performance. On the ASX, this engine is used in both urban driving and longer road journeys, placing the turbo under considerable daily strain.

Why a diesel ASX turbo eventually fails

Several factors can cause premature wear on the turbo of this type of engine: unsuitable engine oil quality or missed oil changes, a clogged air filter allowing impurities through, a blocked intercooler disrupting the cooling of the intake air, or a habit of pushing the engine hard from cold without allowing it to warm up gradually. These factors weaken the turbocharger's bearings and seals over the kilometres.

• Check the cleanliness and condition of the air filter before fitting
• Inspect the hoses and oil circuit for leaks or blockages
• Check the air intake and intercooler to rule out any contamination
• Prime the turbo with oil before the first start-up

Advice before and after installation

Before fitting this new turbo to your ASX, it is recommended that you carefully inspect the oil circuit and associated hoses to ensure correct lubrication from the moment the engine is restarted. Priming the rotating assembly with oil before the first start-up reduces the risk of dry running. After fitting, monitoring oil pressure and engine behaviour over the first few kilometres will confirm that the new part is functioning correctly.
