and it made 110bhp the bloke was only supposed to be diagnosing my engine management light but thought as i was a local down the industrial estate he would chuck it on the rollers!
totally standard engine (1.6 sport) with just a K&N aswell so pretty chuffed that shes still pulling her weight even when slightly under the weather

Fair play Vauxhall's in general tend to make more than Vauxhall claim to be fair.
XE's in particular.

 dont wqnt to sound like a knob but i have heard the same... weather and ambient temp can cause an Increase/drop in bhp,
either way you got a good result

I know he's usually a nob and hardly ever makes a decent contribution but he's right for once (in a way). Won't bump up the bhp but would enable the car to put out what it can rather than lose bhp if it was a hot day!

cold air is denser..... you can get more in..... bigger/better combustion
