Octavia and other Skoda engine codes

[DGW]

Can anyone point me to where I can find the engine codes for the various Octavia models - and all current Skoda models if possible? (eg the 1.8T 4x4 is ARX). Part of my reason for asking is that I want to post a list of engine oils that meet the various VW specs. And to do that it would be useful if I knew which Octavia diesel engine is code ATD, since the oil requirements of that particular engine differ from the rest of the diesel range.

Results so far:

Octavia 1.8T 4x4 ARX (2002)

Octavia 1.8T vRS AUQ

So it's just us two on Briskoda today. It's the Marie Celeste of web sites.

While all the boys are playing with their toys 'somewhere in England' I'm just about to go to Sainsburys (joy of joys!) and quite frankly, you're just getting a little bit scary with this attention to detail thing.

Rich.

Don't worry lads, we'll mind the shop.

Rich, no I am around to.

Denis, the RS engine code is AUQ.

Thanks, Manny. This is going to be real slow if they drip in one by one... And it looks like Rich has since gone down with the ship. :(

Past and present engine codes for the Octavia are:

AMD/AXP/AEE/AEH/AKL/AVU/AUM/AUQ/AGU/ARX/AQY/AEG/APK/AZH/BCA/AQM/AGR/ALH/ATD/AHF/ASV

Now all I need to do is work out which engine goes with which model

What I have found so far is;

AMD/AXP =1.4

AEE/AEH = 1.6 55kw and 74kw respectively

AGR/AGP/AHF = 1.9 Diesel

AGN/AGU/AGQ = 1.8

AHF/ALH/ATD/ASV/AQM = 1.9 TDI

AQY/AEG/APK/AZH=2.0

AKL is also a 1.6 as is AVU

I think! You will probably need to verify these.

Thanks Jon

A lot of those codes also appear in the following list:

ATD was one I wanted to pin down because it needs different oil from the rest of the diesel range. I see from the above list that it is fitted to the Golf IV Variant and 4Motion 1.9 TDI IC PD. Am I correct in assuming that it is one of the new PD diesels, and that they are not fitted to the Octavia as yet?

[TaviaRS]

That'd be the TDI 150 I think.

I have three cars with VAG engines and can give you these definites

1.8T (180bhp) Skoda RS - AUQ

1.9 Sdi (68bhp) Skoda Octavia - AGP

1.9TDi PD (115bhp) Ford Galaxy - AUY

so just to confirm i have a 2003 Octy vRS so my engine code will be AUQ.

is the AGU code for the earlier engines?

Open the bonnet and look middle left of your engine cover. Just under the cover your code should be stamped on the block.

Mine is a 52 plate Feb 2003 model and is AUQ.

It will be AUQ, the AGU is a 150bhp cable throttle engine and was never used in the vRS.

cheers

Octavia 1.8T 1998-2000 = AGU
