Which A1 Turbocharger Is Yours? Only 2014 Needs the Output
The same BorgWarner part numbers appear on our Fabia 1.6 TDI listing, and the 114 bhp Garretts on our Toledo 1.6 TDI listing.
| Year | Output | Engine codes | Maker | Units listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 89, 90 or 103 bhp | CAYB, CAYC | BorgWarner | Two |
| 2009 | 89, 90, 103 or 105 bhp | CAYB, CAYC | BorgWarner | One |
| 2011 | 89, 90, 103 or 105 bhp | CAYA, CAYB, CAYC | BorgWarner | One |
| 2014 | 89 or 103 bhp | CAYB, CAYC | BorgWarner | One |
| 2014 | 114 bhp | CXMA | Garrett | Two |
Before 2014 the output never changes the maker, so the year finds your row. In 2014 the line falls at 114 bhp: BorgWarner below it, Garrett at it. Your V5C gives the output in kilowatts at P.2; multiply by 1.34 for bhp. For a 2010, 2012 or 2013 car, pick the closest year or “Not sure”; every option is £215.

What Happens to Your A1 Turbocharger on the Bench
BorgWarner or Garrett, the unit is stripped to component level and measured, rebuilt on genuine OE or OEM-grade bearings and seals, uprated where the design is weak, then balanced and bench-tested.
Wear usually starts on the car: oil reaching the bearings late or dirty, and on the variable-vane BorgWarners, soot stiffening the vanes. See 1.6 and 2.0 TDI turbo rebuild for checks before refitting, or Audi turbo repair for other Audis.
Questions A1 1.6 TDI Owners Ask
The table lists two units for my car. Which is mine?
That happens on a 2008 car at 90 bhp and a 2014 car at 114 bhp. Both cost £215; we read the housing label before work begins.
Is it the same turbocharger as a SEAT Ibiza 1.6 TDI?
Partly. The Ibiza listing is all BorgWarner and stops at 105 bhp; the A1 lists more outputs for 2008 and 2009 and adds the 114 bhp Garretts in 2014.
