Hi guys, has the Fabia Tdi 1.9 ever had more than one type of engine or has it always had the PD tdi engine?

Also does it have 5 or 6 gears?

Thanks in advance guys.

Fabia 1.9TDi PD100 has 5 gears, Fabia vRS (PD130) has 6 gears.

I think they are the same engines but with different engine codes and ECU mapping.

The non-VRS has always been a 5 speed PD100 engine - I *think* there has only ever been one type.

The VRS has always been a PD130 with 6 speed gearbox. There was a minor facelift to the car around a 54 plate where the gear ratios changed slightly - I'm not sure if there were any significant changes to the engine itself. I'm pretty sure there have also been a couple of models of turbo used.

There was also a 1.9 SDi according to Parkers - Skoda Fabia Hatchback (00-07) Car Review - Facts & Figures - Parker's

64HP and 5 speed box

I don't think the engine changed at the time of the minor face lift / gearbox change, but latterly the BLT engine replaced the ASZ engine - I think to give Euro IV emissions compliance - although some report a "stutter" problem which is comprehensively covered on here.

As well as the Parkers link above, Wiki has some useful info on engine types - ?koda Fabia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As above, depends exactly which Fabia you're talking about - as there's been three different '1.9 TDi' engines used, depending on spec and/or power output.

And if you define a VAG engine code change as a different engine, then yes, that's happened too

As Andy says, BLT was introduced on the vRS for Euro IV compliance reasons.

I think the 1.9 TDI (100bhp) engine has always been the same engine code (ATD). I am not sure if the gear ratios changed in later models, like the vRS did. It has always had 5 speeds. I'm not sure what the PD105 is in the Mk 2 Fabia.

As mentioned above, the vRS (PD130) has had two different engine codes ASZ and BLT.
