What changes behind the wheel of your Audi A3 1.9 TDI 150 with a healthy turbo
On an Audi A3 fitted with the 1.9 TDI 150 engine (code ARL), a sound turbo makes itself felt immediately: crisper pick-up from low revs, smooth and linear boost build-up with no surging, and an end to the whistling or suspicious smoke on acceleration. Many drivers of this model also notice a more stable idle and fuel consumption returning to normal levels – a clear sign that boost pressure is back where it should be. This new turbo is designed to restore those original driving characteristics to your A3.
Compatibility of the turbo with your Audi A3
This new turbo is compatible with reference 716213-5001S, intended for Audi A3 models fitted with the 1.9 TDI 150 engine (engine code ARL), a 1896 cm³ diesel unit. Before placing an order, we recommend checking this reference directly on the old turbo removed from your vehicle, or against the OEM references shown on your registration document or service invoice, to confirm exact compatibility with your engine.
Exchange and warranty for this Audi A3 turbo
This 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 requested after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your Audi A3 is not left off the road during the process. This new turbo comes with a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment for your order can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.
Common causes of failure and fitting advice for the 1.9 TDI 150
On the ARL engine, the main cause of premature turbo failure is insufficient lubrication, typically due to incorrect, contaminated or overdue oil, as well as a blocked air filter that allows particles to be ingested into the compressor wheel. A cracked intercooler or split intake hoses can also disrupt boost pressure and accelerate turbo wear. Before fitting the new turbo, it is essential to check the oil circuit (feed and return hose, strainer cleanliness), the condition of the air hoses and the air intake, and to pre-lubricate the turbo with oil before the first start-up to ensure immediate bearing lubrication.
- Check engine oil quality and level before fitting
- Inspect the air filter and intercooler
- Check the oil and vacuum hoses
- Pre-lubricate the turbo with oil before the first start-up
- Drive gently for the first few kilometres after installation
