The evolution of the turbo diesel

The evergreen Golf became VW’s most popular model
in 2002, with over 30 million sales to date and no sign of its popularity waning. Through seven generations, it’s proved to be just what car buyers want.

The diesel versions have claimed a large part of the Golf’s market share, especially with the move from normally aspirated to turbo diesels. As the Golf has evolved, so too has the sophistication of the Garrett turbos fitted to it.

Technology increases efficiency
Evolving from simple Waste Gate to complex Variable Nozzle Turbine (VNT), the turbos have steadily raised the Golf’s power output with significant reductions in fuel consumption and emissions – ensuring it was already compliant with the 2020 CO2 standard in 2013.

As Garrett’s Master Distributor for the entire UK, BTN Turbo supplies both their 100% OE New and 100% Original Manufacturer’s Remanufactured units, all fully calibrated by Garrett to match the ECU of whichever Golf needs a replacement turbo.
