⚠️ Important Installation Notes for the 2.5 TDI (AXD)

The VW 2.5 TDI engine has specific requirements to ensure turbo longevity:

1. Oil Specification: Ensure you use the correct VW-approved oil (e.g., 506.01 or 507.00 depending on your service interval/DPF status).
2. Oil Feed Line: Always install a new oil feed line. The T5 engine bay holds a lot of heat, which can cause internal carbonization (coking) of the old line.
3. Manifold Check: On the AXD engine, the exhaust manifold is prone to warping or cracking. Inspect the manifold surface before installing the new turbo to prevent exhaust leaks.
