wots the difference between that and the x16xe

not looking for summit thats gonna pull my face off,i only do short journeys so dont need a fast car but would like it to be nippy,iv put up with my 1.2 8v for nearly 2 years.

i can get bthe 1.8 done but its an extra £500 and the tax will be alot more than the 1.6 i think

From been a 1.2 8v owner and getting a gsi I can say there is a massive difference and its enough to have a bit of fun with even though it isnt the fastest thing on the road.

If you buy a good one in the first place they are nice and relible so just make sure you get one you know is good to avoid hassle

also the mpg is the same if not better as the 1.2 8v's are shocking on fuel

yeah it would be a good healthy low milage one if i get the conversion.

my 1.2 8v is not the best on fuel,i get 130miles out of £20 but thats run down till the petrol light is on.

having an extra 60bhp on top of the 45bhp will feel a hell of a lot quicker i reckon.

i just got a 1.6 sport and after having a 1.4 sport its much better, fuels roughly the same if not better plus you have a little power aswell. nothing spectacular, mine just had an engine rebuild so i cant comment on maintinance, *touch wood*

I wouldn't. Most C16's have higher mileage than X16's. Most have been screwed.

Hardly any difference between them.

I bought mine with 40k and thrashed it till i sold the car with 90k on, never had any problems other than the cam belt tenshioners.

Only thing i didnt like was it dosnt like to be reved that much ofr a 16v engine, sort of gives up about 1k before the red line, think a differnet inlet can sort this

I've had 3 X16XE's and one C16XE. They're GOOD engines, nice and strong. Just make sure you do a regular oil & filter change and keep upto date with everything else

Don't like them myself

Dodggy inlet, no room (pig to work on), EGR problems, noisey followers, weak tensioners

True.

X16XE + C16XE head = C16XE without the AFM
