Reconditioned SEAT Ibiza Engine

9 engine codes for the Ibiza from 2009 to 2015: three generations, three families not to be confused

Between 2009 and 2015, the SEAT Ibiza IV was fitted with three reconditioned engines available here — the 1.2 TSI, the 1.4 TSI and the 1.6 TDI — but behind these designations lie up to nine distinct engine codes. The vehicle's date of manufacture is critical: the same 1.2 TSI can correspond to codes CBZA, CBZB or CBZC depending on the production phase, and to codes CJZC or CJZD on later series. These variants are not mechanically interchangeable.

1.2 TSI: the most fragmented family

With seven references listed in this collection, the 1.2 TSI accounts for the vast majority of the identification complexity. The CBZ series (CBZA, CBZB, CBZC) covers the earlier production years, whilst the CJZ series (CJZC, CJZD) corresponds to a later mechanical evolution. These units share the same engine capacity and the same turbocharged direct-injection petrol architecture, but their internal dimensions, timing chain and certain fixed ancillaries differ. The code stamped on the engine block — not simply the engine capacity — is the only reliable reference when ordering the correct replacement.

1.4 TSI and 1.6 TDI: more straightforward identification

The 1.4 TSI (code CAVF) and the 1.6 TDI (codes CGPA and CGPB) are each represented by one or two variants. The 1.4 TSI with twin forced induction (turbo + supercharger) is a unit well known for its sensitivity to timing chain fouling when servicing has been neglected. The 1.6 TDI, derived from the Volkswagen Group EA288 family, has a different architecture from the first-generation 1.6 TDI and must not be confused with it. In both cases, the engines offered are bare engines: ancillaries, turbo, alternator and starter motor are not included and must be transferred from the old unit.
