Product Overview

This is an OEM turbocharger (part number 03L253056) pulled from a CJAA-equipped VW TDI. The CJAA turbo is a direct bolt-on replacement for other CJAA-powered vehicles. It can also be used on CBEA engines, though an intercooler pipe adapter will be required for that application.

The 03L253056 is a variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT) that uses adjustable vanes to optimize boost pressure across the RPM range — delivering strong low-end torque and efficient highway cruising that the 2.0L TDI is known for.

Key Features

• Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT): Adjustable vanes provide responsive boost at low RPM and controlled boost at high RPM for optimal efficiency.
• OEM Quality: Factory-spec unit — no aftermarket compromises on fitment or durability.
• Direct Fit for CJAA: Bolt-on replacement with no modifications required.
• CBEA Compatible: Can be used on CBEA engines with an intercooler pipe adapter.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Loss of power or boost (limp mode)
• Excessive smoke (black or blue)
• Loud whining or rattling from the turbo
• P0299 – Turbocharger Underboost fault code
• N75 solenoid or VGT actuator faults
