Which Fabia Turbocharger Is Yours? Go by the Year
Start with the year on your V5C. The two earliest rows list one output each, so a 2008 or 2009 car finds its row at once.
| Year | Output | Engine codes | Units listed | Rebuild |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 105 bhp | CAYC | Two | £215 |
| 2009 | 90 bhp | CAYB | One | £215 |
| 2011 | 74, 89, 90, 103 or 105 bhp | CAYA, CAYB, CAYC | One | £215 |
| 2014 | 74, 89 or 103 bhp | CAYA, CAYB, CAYC | One | £215 |
From 2011 one unit covers every output, and the 2014 unit is a different one with the same codes, so a 103 bhp CAYC needs its year. A 2008 car has one of two units, both £215; the bench settles which. For 2010, 2012 or 2013, pick the nearer year or “Not sure”.

What the Fabia Rebuild Covers
The BorgWarner off your Fabia is stripped to component level and measured. Bearings and seals are renewed in genuine OE or OEM-grade parts, uprated where the design is weak, and the unit is balanced and bench-tested before it is returned ready to refit.
On TDI engines, oil reaching the bearings late or dirty and soot on the vane mechanism both wear a turbocharger; the 1.6 and 2.0 TDI turbo rebuild page covers what to fix on the car first.
Questions From Fabia 1.6 TDI Owners
Is it the same turbocharger as a VW Polo 1.6 TDI?
The same five BorgWarner units appear on our Polo listing, so the rebuild is identical. The Polo rows spread the earlier units across more outputs and codes.
Can I order without knowing the engine code?
Yes. Year and output are enough to book; on a 2011 car the year alone does it.
