I bought a cheap Fabia I Hatchback (6Y2) 1.4 16V (100 hp / 74 kW) Petrol (BBZ engine, GRY gearbox) as a fixer-upper. Some faults obvious when I bought it and some I'm discovering as I work on it. I noted down all the PR-codes from the label in the boot and in the service schedule and I've found what all of them are apart from two codes which I can't find anywhere.

 

BWB and FDA

 

Does anyone know what they mean?

 

Thanks in anticipation

 

 

Pretty sure BWB is meant to be 8WB, front fogs.

Can't remember the other, and can't look properly just now.

Probably this, similarly font -confused:

F0A = no special purpose vehicle

Brilliant. Thank you. The machine does have front fogs. The printing is in the usual dot matrix style and I think looks like BWB and FDA but I've seen ink-jet text de-formed on curved surfaces and reckon you're right.

 

Many thanks.

Had the same two oddities on ours, I think.

Unless there are around 180 build codes in the service schedule, it won't include all the build codes.

 

There's an ebay seller who can supply all the build codes for about 3 Euros (about £2.50).

Here's PR codes from my old Fabia- also BBZ engine, also GRY gearbox.
Even if some is not in your car- at least, there's quick description.

Thanks @Carlston and @indars. It helps to see what a full list of build codes looks like. I think I'll see if I can get them for our Fab mk IIi too.

You can decode the build codes here.
