It wasn't,Lol.
The only 1600 16v as far as i know, in a mk3 astra was the XEL, due to stricter emissions rules(newer car than corsa etc).
The 1400 sport was a x14XE.
But the 1600 version used the later XEL engine 
If you got a x16xe out of a mk3 astra, someone had fitted it thereselves, it wasn't factory.

The engine I had was from an Astra 1.6 sport and had the same inlet manifold as a Corsa sport. Not only that, but it said X16XE on the block
The car was not converted.

I agree with robin. some astra 1.6 sports did come with an X16XE as standard.
My Ecu software program also confirms this.

Well, I know 100% that my engine, an X16XE, came from an unconverted mk3 Astra 1.6 Sport.
It also had ABS and no speedo sender on the gearbox.
The flywheel was a flat type, not a pot type, and the clutch was new ( )
It was definitely an XE, not an XEL and it was definitely a factory car. :S
