Hi I am after an engine for my fabia its a 1.4 petrol BKY AUTOMATIC, the manual engine is different. Or dose anyone have one or  know of a decent vag breakers yard.

TIA

The manual engine will work fine if you swap the clutch and flywheel for the flex plate and torque converter from your existing engine.

I had a great engine from these guys earlier this year, not sure what they may have available?

Probably worth giving them a call even if they aren't currently listing one of what you need.

The blocks are different and the starter motor sits in a different place or so iv been told

No chance, the blocks are all identical, a BKY is a BKY, the starter operates on the flex plate rather than the flywheel as I said so you'll need the backplate from your old block as well which is what the starter bolts through to the bellhousing.

The engine itself is entirely separate from all the transmission guff and will be the same whether manual or automatic.

This one's nearby in Castleford.

ETKA gives 036100104GX for the block to suit auto applications, 036100104SX for manual.

Some piccies of the SX from 4 angles and the GX just from the back. Backs certainly look different.

 

There is absolutely no way VAG will cast a completely different block just for the transmission fitment, think of the cost implications alone.

You're wrong, see here

Well I never, it seems the auto uses a legacy block from the earlier generation Polo, this kind of makes sense because the Fabia is a 9N Polo based car before the 9N Polo even came out. I stand corrected, I bet an auto BBY engine is the same block and an auto AUA probably as well.

I cant believe it too mate a totally different block for a auto i,m trying to find one but at the moment is proving a little difficult might give that forest savage place a bell.

As sepulchrave suggests, it may well be OK to extend your search to include BBY and maybe even AUA engines from Fabias, assuming that you're OK to swap any ancillary bits off your BKY that differ. 

As far as I know all AUA/BBY engined Fabias, at least in the UK market, were paired with automatic gearboxes, so the block should be the right variant.

 

Not sure how much is different between BBY and BKY, but patient trawling through the parts catalogue could probably answer that. Not enough to make it difficult, I suspect.

 

 

Does your BKY have an EGR valve? Later ones didn't.

And what's the problem with the old engine?

 

Thanks il check it out if you look on page 3 iv put up a link to a video of the noise coming from my engine.
