what car did engine come from?

[turbojolt]

If I have the engine code is there a way to trace what car the engine was originally from?


I tryed searching on here but found nothing :(

[Connor]

What is the engine code?

[turbojolt]

Don't have it to hand mate, should be able to get it in the next few days

[burgo]

if you mean specific car then no, if you mean rough model then ish

[turbojolt]

Yer I need to know the model for the dvla letter and just because I want to know lol

[burgo]

what engine is it?

[turbojolt]

C20xe what else lol

[Pistol Pete]

Dvla just need the engine number.

[turbojolt]

Thought so, but would still like to know for my own reference mate


I know it has a early cocast head on it does that limit the type of car it came from at all?

[Spudly]

Tell them it came from a nova you broke and therefore must be factory fit lol

[Jack]

Can Vauxhall not trace it?

[mowgli]

well its a 50:50 on astra or cavalier, so take a punt on it...

[turbojolt]

I want it to be a astra but I don't know why lmao

[mowgli]

in all probability the engine will have been in an astra at some point..

[turbojolt]

Tell them it came from a nova you broke and therefore must be factory fit lol

The guy I brought it from did take it out of a nova so its kinda true lol

[Tim]

it wont be long until novas are being broken for xe's to put into astras, and cavs lol.

[turbojolt]

I keep looking at cavs thinking of selling the nova by force to the knob head with it for a nice wedge and buying a v6 lol

[bazil]

It's wont be an early engine if it's a C20 XE

early engines were just 20XE
Mine was from a F reg Astra GTE.

[turbojolt]

I feel slightly impressed to say I don't know then I just call them all c20xe's

[turbojolt]

I'm sure it had cocast stamped on the head but its been a fair whill since I last see it tbh

[bazil]

lol,
My XE does not have a coscast head ( not all early engines do, even some let's came with coscast heads )

It has metal plug cover, beige injectors, waffle hatch pattern SFI box and square teeth pulleys,

It's defo a 20XE as the engine no is still easily read on it,

[bazil]

I'm sure it had cocast stamped on the head but its been a fair whill since I last see it tbh

Easy to tell, coscast heads don't have the core plug on the side of the head under the dizzy

I think i love you, finally someone who calls them C20XE's and not a ba$tard cnuting, fukking 'redtop'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
