    Default 1.9 8v engine

    While at the VXR performance centre on Sunday, it was mentioned the Vectra will continue with the 120bhp 8v CDTi Astra will follow suit, dropping the 16v 120.

    I have e-mailed my contact in Vauxhall for clarification.

    I would have thought by using the 16v unit would be cheaper as they only have to build one engine.

    the 8v unit continues in use on the Fiat side though - New Grand Puno is only 8v 120.
