Remanufactured 318960 Mercedes-Benz Truck OM457LA BorgWarner S410 Turbocharger

The 318960 Turbocharger is a purpose-matched BorgWarner S410 assembly for Mercedes-Benz Axor and heavy-duty truck applications with OM457LA 11.97L, Other OM457LA installations matching OE fitment. It is built around the exact compressor, turbine, housing, and control specification associated with part number 318960, so fitment should be confirmed from the engine serial number and original turbo tag rather than by engine family alone.

The BorgWarner S410 is used on Mercedes-Benz OM457LA truck engines, including Axor applications where this exact assembly is specified. The large fixed-geometry frame provides the airflow required by the 12-litre engine while maintaining a simple, durable layout for commercial service. Proper engine identification and complete part-number matching are important because OM457 turbo specifications vary by power rating and vehicle market.

This listing is supplied as the turbocharger configuration shown. Correct installation requires clean oil feed and drain paths, a sealed charge-air and exhaust system, proper air filtration, and confirmation that the original failure did not leave debris or contamination in the engine system.

Turbo Centre remanufacturing begins with complete disassembly and thorough cleaning so every critical surface can be inspected. Worn bearings, seals, and service components are replaced; shaft, wheel, housing, and vane-system condition are measured; the rotating assembly is balanced; and the completed turbo is checked for smooth operation, oil sealing, and correct control movement before shipment. This process restores the unit as a complete engineered assembly rather than simply replacing the visibly damaged component.
