WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Audi A3 and 2015 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

If mechanical damage (such as a destroyed compression wheel) is found on the turbocharger, just replacing the turbocharger is not enough. To avoid damage later, perform the following steps:

Check the air filter housing, air filter element and air guide hoses for contamination.

If there are foreign objects in the charge air system, clean the charge air circuit and replace the charge air cooler if necessary.
