Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen turbocharger repair & replacements
Read our answers to questions about turbocharger repair costs, symptoms and more.
What does a turbocharger replacement on my Volkswagen involve?
A mechanic will come to assess the situation around the turbocharger. They will then remove and replace the old turbocharger as requested. The engine will be checked and the car taken will be taken for a test drive where required, with any adjustments being made after that.
How do I know if my Volkswagen Turbo needs replacing?
Faulty turbochargers are not easily identified, the most obvious signs will be less power and a decreased fuel efficiency, emissions may also be worse. This will cost you a lot of money in the long term, as the car will be using more fuel, so it's important you get a qualified mechanic to repair it.
How long will a turbocharger replacement take on my Volkswagen?
On average a turbocharger replacement will usually take around 3 hours, but can take anywhere from 2 to over 4 hours. The time that the job takes will depend on a range of factors. For example, your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace my Volkswagen turbocharger?
As a vital component of many vehicles, it shouldn't need to be replaced for the lifetime of the vehicle. This doesn't mean it always lasts, but you shouldn't expect this part of your vehicle to need replacing. Only undertake this repair if your vehicle has been diagnosed with this issue by a professional mechanic.
What happens if my Volkswagen turbo breaks?
If your turbo breaks in your car, your engine will lose power and your car will go into "limp mode." This means that your car will only be able to go a very slow speed until you get it fixed.
