Detailed Description

This Dorman turbocharger, part number 667-272, is engineered to replace the original equipment turbo on select 2008-2018 Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify exact vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and notes before installation. This part fits 2018 Audi Q3 and Q3 Quattro only to 1/28/18, and 2012-2016 Volkswagen Eos excludes option code 0GT (Emission Std SULEV). Because turbocharger replacement involves oil and coolant circuits, inspect related lines, seals, and mounting surfaces during service. Follow factory torque procedures and prime the turbocharger with clean oil before startup.
