so the 1.8 has the hydraulic steering pump? If so would the tensioner on the 16XE mount fit correctly?

Basically you are just swapping out the engine, you keep your engine mounts, tensioners, pas/ac pump etc. etc. etc. transfer over the starting and charging loom and alternator bracket,.. Its very very simple.

Just to clairfy the X18XE1 and X16XE are both family 1 engines so all of the ancillaries and mounts are compatible.

1999-2001 1.8 or a pre 2001 1.8 astra.

You can tell by the engine cover, it will be black and silver.

ITs on the barrel, black box.. You dont need the locks.. No need to over complicate matters!

You just pull the transponder off the vectra barrel and swap it for the one on your corsa.
