Borg Warner Turbocharger (CKRA)

Genuine New BorgWarner Turbocharger — 2012–2014 VW Passat TDI (CKRA) · Direct Bolt-On + Complete Gasket Kit

A brand-new, genuine BorgWarner turbocharger — not a remanufactured core — for the 2012–2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI (CKRA engine, OE ref 03L253010J). If your factory turbo has failed — limp mode, low power, or a sticking VNT actuator — this is the direct bolt-on replacement that restores your Passat to proper running order, with the longevity of a new unit instead of a rebuild.

Everything to do the job once — included. VW turbo replacement needs a long list of one-time gaskets and seals, and most sellers make you chase them down separately. Every CKRA turbo from us ships with the most comprehensive install gasket kit available:

• DPF-to-cat, downpipe, SCR-cat exhaust, exhaust manifold & EGR mixer gaskets
• 2× EGR gaskets, turbo adapter seal, LP-EGR-to-turbo grommet & tube clamp
• Turbo outlet O-ring, oil return line gasket + 2× oil return pipe O-rings
• Inner & outer oil-feed banjo O-rings, plus 2× oil line seals added
• 10× copper pinch nuts

Add the wear parts you'll want fresh (optional at checkout) — oil feed and return lines, turbo damper, downpipe clamp, and DEF injector seal, each with a tech note so you know exactly what's worth replacing while you're in there.

Install tips from our techs:

• Downpipe clamp: the dealer replaces these, but they can be reused — they're just tough to release without damaging, so have a spare on hand if yours is stubborn.
• DEF injector seal: you don't have to pull the DEF injector, but setting it aside keeps you from snapping it on the subframe — and disconnecting it from the line first keeps DEF from pooling on you while you work.
• Turbo damper: clean it thoroughly before reassembly.

Fits: 2012–2014 VW Passat TDI (CKRA). Genuine BorgWarner. Pairs well with our Passat 2012–2014 ECU tuning once you're back up and running.
