New Volkswagen LT Turbo – Ref. 454205-5007S

Identifying the correct turbo reference for your Volkswagen LT

Before placing any order, it is essential to check the reference printed on the label of your original turbo, or the part reference shown on your vehicle registration document or service invoice. For the Volkswagen LT fitted with the 2.5 TDI engine, the new turbo listed here is compatible with reference 454205-5007S. This check is vital to avoid any fitting errors, as LT vans may have been equipped with several generations of turbocharger depending on their date of manufacture.

Compatible engines on the Volkswagen LT

This new turbo is compatible with the Volkswagen LT 2.5 TDI, a diesel engine of 2461 cm³, found under engine codes ANJ, APA and AVR. This unit equips the LT in its panel van and chassis-cab versions used for intensive professional work, where the turbo is put under particular strain during heavily loaded or high payload journeys. Before purchasing, always check the reference on your old turbo to confirm exact compatibility with your vehicle.

Advice before fitting the turbo to your LT

On a 2.5 TDI engine as heavily used as that of the Volkswagen LT, turbo failure most commonly results from a lubrication fault caused by poor-quality oil, missed oil changes, or a clogged oil filter. A blocked air filter or a cracked intercooler can also cause premature wear. Before fitting, check the oil circuit, the condition of the intake and oil return hoses, and the air intake. When starting up for the first time, prime the turbo with oil through the dedicated feed port before starting the engine, to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings.
