going to see an early astra gsi tomorrow,with a C18XE, what are these engines like? Much difference in power from a C20XE? Do they have the same issues as the C20XE? ie porus head,oil leaks etc....

Go alright for an 1800 16v.They usually pull about 140bhp,but on the road a C20XE is quite a bit quicker.
Engines are good too and dont suffer porous heads.Oil leaks are standard issue on most Vauxhalls.
