Audi Q5 Turbo Replacement

The Q5 has used a wide mix of engines since 2008, from the 2.0 TFSI petrol to the 3.0 TDI V6 and the twin-turbo SQ5. We supply turbos for each of them as reconditioned, remanufactured, new or new OEM units.

We offer delivery in as little as 24 hours, and every unit is rebuilt by our Workshop Technicians.

Audi Q5 Turbo Replacement Cost

An Audi Q5 turbo replacement usually lands in the £200 to £1,200 bracket, with a few units costing more.

On a car of the Q5’s age and value, a reconditioned turbo is usually the better buy. It is cheaper than new, made to an identical standard and backed by the same warranty.

Choosing Your Audi Q5 Turbo

All four options go through identical testing. Here is who each one tends to suit.

Reconditioned Exchange

A good match for high-mileage Q5 diesels, with your old unit returned to us in exchange.

Remanufactured

New internal parts throughout, ideal for a Q5 you expect to keep well past 100,000 miles.

New

An aftermarket turbo out of the box, with no exchange needed.

New OEM

The original part number from the original maker, worth considering on an SQ5.

If you want to compare costs, ask for prices on two or three types of replacement turbo in one quote.

Your Audi Q5 Turbo in Four Steps

1. Find the Engine Code

Look on the data sticker under the boot floor, or check the service book.

2. Tell Us the Code

Phone us or send an enquiry, adding your reg if you have it.

3. Get a Price

We confirm the turbo, stock and cost, usually on the same day.

4. Post Back the Old Turbo

Exchange orders need the old Q5 turbo sent back to us for rebuilding.


Why Q5 Owners Rely on Essex Turbos

The 3.0 TDI V6 in the Q5 uses a large Garrett variable-geometry turbo that runs hot on long, heavy journeys. We rebuild these alongside the smaller BorgWarner turbos on the four-cylinder diesels, and every unit we send out has been balanced and tested.

Excellent service. Rebuilt my k04 turbo with an uprated thrust bearing which is capable of 350bhp as the original one had shot to bits. Thanks again.

Essex Turbos refurbished the turbo for my 2.0 TDI CBB engine for £450-500. They were consistently very friendly over the phone and in person. One of the engineers visually inspected a turbo I had bought and had an issue with free of charge - a deconstruction and a written report is £150, but would not have helped me in this situation. I have had no problems with the refurbished turbo, but if I did, they have a good complaints process to which they would inspect how it broke and decide whether it was their fault or not. I very much trust their honesty if it came to this. They dealt extremely well with a phone call they received from the other turbo company I dealt with threatening to sue them. I would definitely come back if I get future turbo-related problems.

Audi Q5 Turbo Common Questions

Prices start at about £200. Give us your registration and the team can confirm the exact figure for your engine.

The diesel SQ5 from 2013 uses a 3.0 TDI with twin turbos, and we list units for it. The later petrol SQ5 uses a single turbo on its 3.0 TFSI V6.

A turbo that cannot hold boost is a common cause, often from a split intercooler hose, a sticking actuator or worn bearings. A boost test tells you if the turbo itself is at fault.

Many do, as the two cars share the 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI engines. Check the turbo code on the plate rather than the model name before you order.
