[staggy_gsi]

hi guys, theres abit of confusion as to whether my corsa sport has a 1.4 or a 1.6 fitted to it. ive looked for the engine code in the places i thought it was but i cant find it. can someone tell me where it is please? :thumb: :thumb:

Same place as a XE.
On the edge by the gearbox

If it eats Cossies & Scoobies for breakfast. It will be the 1400.

lol I cant rep you :(


but i can lol

[staggy_gsi]

its not by the gearbox, thats where i looked 1st. theres a load of random numbers but no engine code. and it hasnt corroded away because the rest of the numbers are clear to see

[brucer]

Try some emery tape across that area,its got to be there

[staggy_gsi]

well theres no engine code anywhere on the engine so i can only assume the guy fitted a 1.6 and got rid of the engine code as its supposed to be a 1.4.....

[Plug]

or its a 1.4 and he wanted to lie and say it was a 1.6

No sticker on the cambelt cover? (assuming it has the original covers) No part number or anything on the block?

[staggy_gsi]

no stickers on the covers. there are some random numbers on the block yeah, but then theres just a blank where the engine code should be.

and it was sold to me as a 1.4 so i highly doubt someone would go through all that hassle to get rid of an engine code just so they could say they had a 1.6 lol

If its the original engine, do any insurance quote on it and t should tell you there..

Infact slap you number plate in here : http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/

[napalm_27]

take the manifold off and it will have 14 or 16 printed on the block mate
