Locating an X18XE1

[dgbnova#1]

Yep one here all removed by myself with key transponder and full loomnot cut anything and was running before I removed it

All Vectra B's are XE1

Nope

First 1.8s were X18XE (big block), then X18XE1 (facelift), then Z18XE

Two of the 98 ones I've seen are running XE's not XE1's?

You were talking about X18XE1's and Z18XE's so I obviously wrongly assumed you would understand I was was basically saying that Vectra B's (with the small block engines.....) are XE1's....

Gees...see above.

how much you willing to pay??!! My Vectra that i use every day without fail has one of these fitted!! Its the SXi version...

Well I've seen a few spare and repairs Astras with body panel damage etc going for less than £200 so trying to grab one of those fairly locally.

Its facelift Vectra B 1.8's (1999 onwards) that have the X18xe1, small block engine:


Models earlier than that are big block (x18xe), so any '97 and '98 pre facelift 1.8 wont do.

1.8 Sri models (1999 onwards again) run the z18xe small block. Same engine essentially as the x18xe1 with a few subtle differences.

These engine codes are stamped on the block, by the gearbox. So any scrapyard will be able to tell them apart. I'm sure they'll have had this sort of enquiry before.

Many thanks for clearing that up.

No thats fair enough, I wrongly assumed you meant all 1.8 Vectra's had that engine.
