Reconditioned SEAT Leon 1.2 TSI Engine

Seven distinct engine codes cover the Leon 1.2 TSI: CBZA, CBZB, CBZC, CJZA, CJZB, CYVA and CYVD

On the Leon 1.2 TSI, the engine code is the only reference that determines the exact bare engine part number. The CBZ series (CBZA, CBZB, CBZC) correspond to the earliest variants of the 1.2 TSI, whilst the CJZ series (CJZA, CJZB) and the CYV series (CYVA, CYVD) represent later evolutions of the same displacement. These three families are not mechanically equivalent: cylinder head, timing system and thermal management all differ between series.

The 1.2 TSI is well known for timing chain issues, particularly on CBZ codes, where premature chain stretch can cause difficult starting or a characteristic noise on cold start. Checking the code before ordering avoids receiving a block that is incompatible with the vehicle's original cylinder head or wiring loom.

Frequently asked questions

Is a engine for this SEAT model in stock?

We currently list 7 references reconditioned for this model. Availability depends on the exact engine: enter your number plate to confirm stock in real time, or request an online quote.

How can I be sure it is compatible with my SEAT?

Compatibility depends on the engine / gearbox code, not just the model. The most reliable way is your number plate or registration document: our advisers confirm the right engine for your vehicle before you order.

Do I need to send back my old unit?

Yes, that is the principle of an exchange unit: you return your old engine (the core), which we recondition in turn. We arrange transport both ways, so you don't have to handle any logistics.

How long does it take to receive the engine for my SEAT?

Once compatibility is confirmed and depending on the availability of the reference, the part leaves our workshop ready to fit, delivered throughout France and Europe, with payment in instalments available (up to 10 payments).
