MAHLE Updates Its Turbocharger Program

Posted By: Hamid Moarefon: Monday, May 30, 2016In: Parts

In its quest to step up its rapidly growing turbocharger program, MAHLE Aftermarket has recently unveiled eight new-to-range (NTR) additions, which includes a number of VAG applications. These enable technicians to perform their replacement with confidence in the know-how that they are fitting the like-for-like replacement.

Though the NTR additions give extensive coverage across VAG applications, MAHLE part number 011TC17779000 fits the renowned Vauxhall/Opel Astra 1.9 CDTI. The 030TC11002000 and 030TC11005000 also perfectly fit the Audi A3 2.0 TDI and Audi A4 2.0 TDI, and 030TC11006000 is designed for the Skoda Fabia 1.4 TDI.

The remaining applications are geared towards different VW applications, with four different turbochargers fitting four different models. The sole petrol vehicle in this series utilizes 030TC11001000, which is designed for the Golf 1.2 TSI. The 030TC15171000 is exclusively designed for the Golf 1.9 TDI while the OE 030TC11003000 is for the Golf 2.0 TDI, with the final addition to the passenger car being 030TC11004000, which is a perfect fit to the Scirocco 2.0 TDI.
