Advice before fitting to a 2.0 TDI 170 ch engine

On CBBB and CFGB engines, the variable-geometry turbo is particularly sensitive to clogging caused by carbon deposits, often the result of predominantly urban driving and infrequent oil changes. Before fitting the new turbo, it is advisable to check the condition of the oil circuit, the cleanliness of the oil feed and return pipes, as well as the air intake and intercooler, in order to rule out any risk of premature failure due to insufficient lubrication or a blocked air filter. On first start-up, priming the turbo with oil is recommended to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings before the engine builds up speed.
