Reconditioned Volkswagen Passat Turbo – Ref. 54409880035

Signs of a worn turbo on the Passat 2.0 TDI 140

On the Volkswagen Passat fitted with the 2.0 TDI 140 engine (engine code CKRA), a turbo nearing the end of its life often makes itself known through a loss of power under acceleration, an unusual whistling noise from under the bonnet, persistent blue or black exhaust smoke, and sometimes the engine warning light coming on. Excessive oil consumption or hesitation at low revs can also point to wear on the turbocharger shaft or bearings. Left unchecked, these symptoms can lead to complete failure and engine damage.

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

Points to check before fitting

Before fitting this turbo to your 2.0 TDI 140, check the oil circuit (hoses and return line), the cleanliness of the intercooler and air intake, and the condition of the air filter. Using the correct grade of engine oil, changed in line with manufacturer recommendations, greatly reduces the risk of premature failure. On first start-up, it is recommended to prime the turbo with oil before running the engine to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings.
