[quote][i]Originally posted by Fad[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by andysri[/i] cheers for comments ppl, its a tough choise, i would love a 2.0, but i'v heard so many ppl complain, that its unreliable! a 1.6 wil b easier to sell, but i have NO intention of doing that! BUT i want an engine which is going to last a long time, and have power, PLUS one other major prob is the insurance!! i could get away not telling them if i put a 1.6, they look the same! [/quote] Un-reliable?? I think u'll find the 1.6 is less reliable when you start tuning it compared to an XE. XE is a fantastically strong engine. I've had a water pump bust and a crankshaft sensor. Not bad for a 90,000+ mile engine (even if it is looked after). Had the engine around a year now. [/quote] i can second that my old 1.4 16v was soo unreliable once u started tunning it..cost me so much i could of done an XE conversion twice :( Head gaskets are too prone on these lumps and altho they are cracking engines they lack tourque and do cost a bomb to tune done nearly 20K miles in valver and its been in the car a year and all i've had problems with are parts that are easy to swap and sort. wouldn't say the 16xe is the best engine vaux ever built i'd say the 20XE without a doubt [/quote]
