What a healthy turbo does for your Audi A5

On an Audi A5 fitted with the 2.0 TDI 170, a turbo in good condition makes itself felt immediately: crisper pick-up from low revs, no flat spot under acceleration, and a smooth engine note free of whistling or exhaust smoke. As soon as the turbo starts to wear, the driver notices a gradual loss of power, hesitation under acceleration, and sometimes a characteristic blue or black exhaust smoke – a sign of an oil leak on the intake side or poorly regulated boost pressure.

Compatibility of the reconditioned turbo for the Audi A5 2.0 TDI 170

This reconditioned turbo is compatible with reference 53039880138, fitted to the Audi A5 with the 2.0 TDI 170 engine, engine code CAHA. Before placing your order, please check this reference directly on your old turbo – it is usually printed on a label or stamped on the housing – to confirm it matches your vehicle exactly.

Exchange basis and warranty for your A5

This reconditioned turbo is sold on an exchange basis: in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, return of your old turbo is required, but it is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your Audi A5 is never left off the road unnecessarily. The part carries a 12-month parts warranty, provided fitting is carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over up to 10 instalments.

Fitting advice for the 2.0 TDI 170

On this CAHA engine, the leading cause of premature failure is inadequate lubrication – whether due to poor-quality oil, missed oil changes, or a clogged oil filter. Before fitting, check the oil circuit (hoses and return line), the condition of the air filter, and the intercooler for leaks, as any air leak or ingress of particles can quickly damage the new internal components of the turbo. When starting up for the first time, prime the oil circuit before the initial start and avoid hard acceleration for the first few kilometres while lubrication stabilises.

  • Check the exact reference on the old turbo before ordering
  • Inspect the oil circuit and hoses before fitting
  • Check the air filter and intercooler
  • Prime the turbo with oil before the first start
  • Drive gently for the first few kilometres
