I'd say an 8v. Do you know the reg? http://www.askmid.com/ownvehicle/ and it should say. If not try an insurance quote.

What's the big deal with getting an ecotec instead of an old 8v.

It's a 1.6 astra, not as if there will be any speed difference.

tbh a 1.6 16v ecotec will be a damned sight better than an 8v anyway.

All engines have problems but they are not hard engines to work on at all.

the only bit of work iv done on one was a timeing belt on my cousins 1400 sport and theres just to much unnecacery clutter in my opinion . if it is a ecotec i suppose im willing to give it a try as the car is white and is in imaculate condition ! and a price i cant turn down !
