Product Details

Rotomaster’s New Turbocharger Cartridge line focuses on restoring the internal core of the turbocharger instead of replacing the full unit. That approach can reduce repair time when the housings remain serviceable and the failure is concentrated in the cartridge. A1170205N is assembled with O.E.-grade components to support consistent operation in the 2004-2005 Volkswagen Passat application.

This part cross-references Volkswagen 038145702N for the same application. If you are sourcing a turbocharger cartridge for a 2004-2005 Volkswagen Passat, A1170205N provides an OE-style repair path without replacing the complete turbocharger.

Common Repair Uses

• Turbocharger noise caused by worn internal cartridge components
• Oil leakage related to cartridge wear
• Loss of boost from damaged rotating assembly parts
• Excessive shaft play in the turbo core
• Need to repair the turbo while reusing serviceable housings

Installation Notes

Inspect the compressor and turbine housings before installation and confirm they are reusable. Clean the oil and coolant passages thoroughly, and verify that the engine’s lubrication and cooling systems are free of contamination before fitting the new cartridge. Because this is a cartridge-level repair, follow the vehicle service procedure for turbocharger assembly and calibration checks.
