Turbos gone ... Where to find a new one

[tennentsfan]

Hi There ,
Turbos gone on my 1.9 tdi alhambra . Its a AUY engine code incase that makes any difference .
I know that its a gt1749v and have had a look on ebay for them there is plenty but the rest of the numbers on the turbos arent the some as which is on my one .
Does every number have to be the same ???
Any help appreciated .
Cheers kieran :1zhelp:

I would need the VW number off your old turbo and then I can look it up in the list to get the Garret number. The number did change at the beginning of 2001 production.

Hi Crasher,
there is a couple of numbers on it .
038253019b
454232-2
Do these make any sense .
Thanks alot in advance.

038 253 019 B is a VAG style number but does not exist, the turbo for a Sharan with an AUY engine pre chassis wvwzzz7Mz1V030000 (approximately) is 038 253 019 D so I think it must be a D not a B.

[tennentsfan]

ur probably correct . I shall check and confirm tomorrow.
thanks crasher

[tennentsfan]

just to confirn crasher yes it is a D .

Regards Kieran

038 253 019 D crosses over to Garret numbers

454232-0002
454232-2
4542320002
4542322
454232-0011
454232-11
4542320011
45423211

The only other VAG car it was used on was the early Golf 4 4 Motion TDI with the ATD engine and I have never seen on of those in the UK.

The VW number is now 038 253 019 DX.
