Reconditioned SEAT Leon 1.6 TDI Engine

Leon 1.6 TDI from 2009 to 2020: seven engine codes for the same displacement, two options depending on the condition of the original unit

Over eleven years of production, the Leon 1.6 TDI received seven distinct blocks — CAYC, CLHA, CRKB, DBKA, DCXA, DDYA and DDYB — which are not interchangeable. The year of manufacture and the Leon generation (II or III) determine the applicable code; an identification error will result in receiving an incompatible block.

Two purchasing options are available here. The exchange basis suits cases where the block is too badly damaged or cannot be sourced locally. Rebuilding your own unit to 0 km makes sense when the block is salvageable and you wish to retain the original serial number — particularly useful for administrative purposes or vehicles that have recently undergone an MOT. The choice between the two therefore depends on the actual condition of the engine, not on the apparent cost alone.

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).
