Reconditioned SEAT Leon 1.8 TSI Engine

Seven engine codes for a single 1.8 TSI: which one is in your Leon?

The answer lies in the engine code stamped on the block, not the engine capacity. The Leon 1.8 TSI comes in seven variants — AGU, AJQ, AQA, APP, AUM, AUQ and AVQ — each with distinct power output and engine management characteristics, and they cannot be substituted for one another simply by reading the "1.8".

These codes cover production of the Leon between 2012 and 2020. Before ordering, the four-letter code stamped on the block remains the only definitive identifier: two Leon 1.8 TSI vehicles from the same year can carry different codes depending on the market or trim level, with genuine mechanical differences as a result.

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).
