Can you?

Astras and Vectra's are definite. Just make sure it doesn't look like this:



Because that's the wrong one.

Nope, his wasn't out of a Corsa C. I think it was from a Vectra.

Astras and Vectras either before or after 2000 (can't remember which ) came with X18XE1's which is what you want. Corsa C's have the Z18XE which is pretty much the same as far as I'm aware except it has an electronic throttle.

X18XE1 is the best one to use.. So pre 2001 vectra, astra..

The later Z18XE is fly-by-wire so bit more complicated but possible.

X20XEV and X18XE look the same mate A bit like how X14XE and X16XE do.

X18XE1 is the one you're after, so yes.

I always forget Zafira's, they're based on Astras so have the same engine
