i know that the power steering is hydraulic on the older 1.6 16v (c16xe) but thought that it was electric on the newer ones. i think that calidus has left the belt etc on but uses the electric power steering | |

U need a new radiator cos the 1.2 16v is different all the wiring for the 1.2 is in the engine bay with the ecu. the 1.6 ecu goes inside the car so a little more soldering is needed!! then the power steering is different 2 cos its electric on the 1.2 & its hydraulic on the 1.6 so U need 2 fit a shorter belt & tensioner or modify the hydraulic pump, a wkend should do it!:P | |

all i really wanna know is if there will be any serious problems with the wiring as im pretty confident in the actual bolting in bit, just electrics im worried about | |

as far as im aware most competent garages are capable of doing the swap if u provide everything. there are probably places out there that can source everything but as with everything it will be more expensive. im hoping that there wont be that many problems cos i dont wanna spend too much. i know not to go for an engine out of an earlier model i.e a c16xe as they are a pain in the arse wiring wise | |
