The gearbox type number F16/20/ETC is on top of the gearbox near the selector mech's (Cast in)<br>

Cheers Phil, nice one.<br>
<br>
Couldn't find the cast in number, it's pretty mucky in there. He's sure it's an X20XEV & F23 tho, thats going by the exgine code and the gearbox cross ref in the haynes. I'll get the vin if you think that sounds wrong.<br>
<br>
Is there an easy cure for oil on the spark plugs on these? I'm told the plugs are totally submerged.<br>
<br>
Ta again.<br>

if the oil is on the ceramic part of the plug its the rocker box seal that needs replacing (common fault on the 2.0s)<br>
<br>
I cant check my 'box for the number cos its an auto.<br>

That make's it the Ecotec so the F20 wasn't a option with that engine.<br>
<br>
Common for the cam cover to leak normanly because they are not checked when the Spark Plugs are changed I allway's give them a little nip up.<br>
