... the x16xe engine found in the Corsa and the x16xev or x16xel whatever one it is that is found in the Astra?
Anyone know? Just that my mate has a 52reg Astra 1.6 16v Sxi and wants to know whether my Dbilas throttle bodies would fit in his car.
Cheers.

I think the inlet manifold is the difference. Its restricted even more to lower the power to 100BHP hence the L on X16XEL
dont know about the V one

XEL is the high torque version. Has slightly higher torque at a lower RPM level, and peak power is 100bhp as opposed to 106bhp.
