wats bump mean lol

why bump? they've told you already

bump

dave you have a c16xe which has a different head, also egr and sai,loom,ecu. if your wanting a c16xe try vauxhall. or get someone to replace your piston rings it doesnt cost much.

changing from a c16xe to a x16xe is not worth it.

1. you will be getting a less powerful engine

2. it wouldnt be worth the money.

hope you get something sorted out

it is mate the person whoever had the car b4 me must of put the plastic one on so could i just use my manifold?

that means yours is a c16xe.

the x16xe isnt a straight swop in that case. you would need a new ecu and wiring loom from the x16xe for it to fit.

yes mines is plastic there are the best eh?

yep, thats a x16xe in the pic.

does yours have a black plastic inlet manifold?

what is the SAI valve for??

the SAI valve makes it sound like a hairdryer when it starts up fotr about 3 or 4 mins. mine does it.

so i would just put my manafold on so there no valve it would nt matter would it what is that valve for?

if its an x16xe in there now then its a straight swop.

so could i still put the 96 engine in??my engine is a x16xe and thats 94 tho

1994 gsi was a c16xe

1996 gsi was a x16xe

completely different head, different sensors, ecu and looms. also the x16xe has the egr and sai systems (the valve on the manifold)

i have got a gsi 94 reg but am away to buy a gsi engine 96 reg but there is some kind of valve on the manifold of the 96 engine and not on the 94. could you tell me why this is?
