Hi people,
Ive got a x14xe Corsa Sport at the moment but im thinking about putting a 1.6 16v in.
Im just wanting to know weather the C16XE is better or the X16XE for performance and reliability?Also which one is easier to put in and what do i require to do this?
Any Help Appreciated.Thanks

I'd personally go for the X16XE as it's newer.
C16XE do have problems with AFM though, and the X16XE's have problems with EGR.

Id say the C16XE would be easier to fit as there is no ecotech junk to go with it.

Id go for the X16, purely on grounds of age discrimination. I had a C16 money pit a few years ago!
