Seat CHRA / cartridges
A CHRA cartridge is the replaceable core of the turbocharger: the bearing housing with the complete, balanced shaft and both wheels. Only this part wears — the housing and actuator of your Seat turbo stay in place. The collection covers the 1.9 TDI in all its flavours (ALH, ARL, BJB/BXE) for the Ibiza, Leon, Toledo and Alhambra, the 2.0 TDI (BKD, DFHA), the 1.6 TDI of the Leon, the 1.2 and 1.4 TSI of the Ibiza and Altea and the 2.0 TFSI of the Exeo. Virtually all cartridges share their engine code with VW, Audi and Škoda, so the engine code plus the turbo number is what counts. Copy the OEM or turbo number from your old turbo — for example 751851-5008S for the GT1646V of the 1.9 TDI BJB/BXE — and fit it with fresh oil and a new filter.
