Part number 93169 is a turbocharger for 2000-2001 Audi TT, 2000 Audi TT Quattro, and 2000-2001 Volkswagen Golf and Jetta applications, including the 2001 Volkswagen Jetta to chassis/VIN #9M-1-056 880. This turbocharger is built with an aluminum housing and oil-cooled center section to support heat control in turbocharged engine operation.

What This Turbocharger Helps Address

• Loss of boost pressure from a worn turbocharger
• Excessive shaft play or bearing wear
• Oil leakage at the turbo center housing
• Reduced engine response under acceleration
• Turbocharger noise caused by internal wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm vehicle fitment by year, model, and VIN before ordering, especially for the 2001 Volkswagen Jetta with the chassis/VIN cutoff noted above. Inspect oil supply and return lines, intake plumbing, and related seals before installation. Because this turbocharger is oil-cooled, clean oil flow is critical to service life. The sensor is not included, so reuse or replace related components as needed based on the vehicle configuration.
