Mercedes A Class Turbo Replacement

The A Class started life in 1997 as a tall, compact people carrier and turned into a sporty hatchback in 2012. The engines changed just as much, taking in early CDI diesels, small petrols and the 2.0 in the A45 AMG. Every generation is covered by our reconditioned, remanufactured, new and new OEM stock.

Some A Class engines were developed with Renault, which affects the part numbers.

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.

A Class Turbo FAQs

Some are. The diesel in the A180 CDI and A180d came out of the Renault partnership and also powers Renault, Dacia and Nissan models.

The A45 AMG runs the M133 2.0 four-cylinder, which uses a high-boost twin-scroll unit. You will find it in the Petrol tab.

The early W168 petrol models did not, but the A160 CDI and A170 CDI diesels both used a turbo.
