TURBO: Part Numbers & Build Dates [data collection thread for all members]

Your pictures don't work.

Your pictures don't work.

Sorry about that! Better now?

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Yup.

 

[TurboDieselPoint]

Yup.

Awesome! I fixed my mistake in the other thread discussing turbo part numbers, as well as in my post about my wire-chafing fix.

Thanks for letting me know! Otherwise, I would have gone on oblivious to the issue. I forgot to share the pictures publicly in my Dropbox, so they were getting blocked on everyone's computers but mine.

If any of you see anything different and/or changed for the 2014 BV40 number plate, let us know.

First, I have encouraged a friend of mine to register and log his recent (Last Sunday) 0005 turbo failure on the failure thread. He has a 2013, currently in the shop waiting for a replacement Turbo and Intercooler.

He communicated that he received word from the service mgr., that the new turbo is P/N VW03L-253-056-QX. I haven't been able to find this P/N in any searches (maybe I missed it). So I have asked him to get the full serial plate info including the S/N and B/W numbers once his new Turbo arrives. Hopefully he decides to register and log the info himself. But I am curious as to the "X" designation in the part number and if that designates any changes from the 0020... I'll post when I know more. [FONT=&quot]

The "X" designates re-manufactured. IMO, I'd be pushing VW for a brand new turbo vice a re-manufactured one.

Thanks, I will pass that on!

That is the correct part number for the replacement turbocharger.

OK. So is it re-manufactured or new?

 

[VeeDubTDI]

The X indicates remanufactured, but I have no idea who does it or where it comes from.

 

[compu_85]

Since BW doesn't reman these turbos I imagine the X part simply re uses the actuator or exhaust manifold. I would not worry about having one installed.

My car has the 005 turbo, currently at 62,500 miles. Mobil 1 5w40 ESP M oil. Shift points at 2800-3000 RPMS. No problems, no turbo whine/grind sound. Engine behaves as it should.

Bump, lots of new owners on here

 

[TurboDieselPoint]

Seems the 0020 is still the latest. Anyone have a turbo version later than 0020?

With the manufacturer date of 6/16/2014, I'd bet the 0020 is still the current turbo.

Wait...

What exactly is that after the "Q" in your part #?

All the previous 0020 turbos haven't had anything after the Q in their part number. Yours is different.

What does this new part # mean? No clue. Just something I noticed...

Thanks for sharing!

It looks like V50 or V500?
It's really hard to distinguish, if you look at the photo you see figures that are somewhat distinguishable.
If you go back in this thread and look at the pix, there are other numbers shown on some 0005 and 0020 turbos, yet as taking these photos is difficult unless the turbo is off the vehicle, it will have to do. Obviously VW is trying to hide something.... LOL, just kidding...

 

[VeeDubTDI]

It's V500. Good eye, TDP - this appears to be the first "0020" with "V500" (or any V number, for that matter).

 

[JdC Machine]

The "V500" notation isn't anything new but I don't know what it designates either. My "0005" in my '13 has "V500" at the end of the part number.

 

[jrm]

Its another revision for sure, my June 13 build 0020 has no V number, so something was once again updated. Yay

Ouch, Friday the 13th Build Date... And no V#, Wow you'd best change your oil every 5000-7000 miles to be certain you're safe...

I'm going to look again at my 13/0005 turbo tag, maybe there's more symbols, the rest of the tag is obscured by the black sensor in my pics ...

2013, it was built on June 19th- I think it was a Tuesday Post #77 back on page 6
But we have a headed garage, so its always a warm start for it

Oops, I read it as June 13th build date, sorry to place that on you

I don't have my car with me at the moment. When I get home I want to take a picture. How can I do that? What is the trick?
