Hi,

Just bought a 2004 1.4 TDI fabia estate. In the manuals/technical booklet that comes with the car it refers to the engine as a 1.4 TDI PD engine (Engine code: AMF - I think?). However, it doesn't say PD on the v5 and looking here it is not listed as PD:

I've also read some other forum posts that have confused me further into thinking this isn't a PD engine - even though it says so in the Skoda docs. Any body know for sure?

Thanks,

Matt

Yes, the AMF engine is a PD.

It is definitely a PD unit, but if you're worried, check the engine code on the sticker on the cambelt cover (usually) or the sticker in the boot!

Take a look at the Wikipedia page about VAG diesel engines; The 1.4s are are PD while the 1.2s are all CR.

It is a PD engine. It won't say so on the V5 though. The only non-PD engine fitted to the Fabia was the 1.9 SDI.

The wikipedia page is being inconsistent with itself by not marking the 1.4 as a PD all the way through.

Thanks - that's what I thought it should be. The VIN number has AMF in it also.

How do these engines compare with the 1.9TDI PD engines - I read somewhere that they are basically the same except for 3 cylinders instead of 4 - is that true?

Cheers,

Matt

The 1.4 is the 1.9 with 1 less cylinder

.. and they're great. 140K and never missed beat. Ave 70 mpg. Great machines.
