VW T3 T25 Turbo for JX 1.6TD New VW 068 145 701 Q. A brand new Turbo using new components this is a reproduction of the KKK 14 as used on JX 1.6Turbo Diesel engines but can also be used on AAZ and also TDI conversions. For AAZ 1.9TD or 1.9 TDI conversions a 10mm turbo spacer will be needed to allow for the installation of stack oil return pipe and exhaust please see related items.
Very good quality and the supplier has had very few warranty issues in the years they have been selling them. As this is a new unit, there is no surcharge.
To avoid issues with the turbo you should adhere to the following recommendations otherwise your turbo will not function correctly.
It is recommended that you change the oil feed pipe to the turbo. The turbo gets hot and transfers this heat to the oil feed pipe. When the engine is turned off the oil stops flowing, oil is left in the pipe. The heat from the turbo can bake the oil onto the pipe, which is fine but once you disturb the pipe to fit a new turbo you dislodge the baked oil flakes and they end up in the bearing housing of the turbo which will subsequently damage it. If this happens and the turbo fails it will be obvious on inspection and the warranty claim will be refused. At the very minimum the oil feed pipe is to be removed, cleaned and inspected and blown through with compressed air, to avoid any warranty issues it’s better to replace with new.
It is also recommended that you remove the oil return line and check it for obstructions, to make sure oil has every chance to drain from the turbo away to the sump. If the return line is blocked or kinked the oil will have nowhere to go and will cause hot oil to sit in the turbo, which isn’t good for the life of a turbo, and will likely result in premature failure.
There are fitting notes supplied with the turbo, they are to be read, understood and adhered to, failure to do so will result in turbo failure and no warranty claims will be accepted as once the turbo is returned it will be obvious as to why it has failed. These notes include instructions to change the oil, oil filter, and air filter.
Any warranty turbos will have to be sent away for inspection. There will be a certain downtime whilst it is sent away, stripped and inspected as to why it has failed and almost exclusively has been a pre-existing engine condition that has caused it to fail be it low oil pressure or contaminated oil.

Please understand this before you commit to buy.
