Reconditioned Opel Astra 1.4 Engine

Six engine codes for the Astra 1.4 petrol between 2004 and 2015

Across this range, six distinct codes exist: A14XER, A14XEL, B14XER, B14XEL, D14XER and D14XEL. The prefix letter (A, B or D) indicates the block generation and directly determines the compatibility of the replacement part; two Astra 1.4s with the same engine capacity but from different years do not take the same bare engine. The XEL variant denotes the version with variable timing on both camshafts (intake and exhaust), whereas the XER has variable timing on the intake camshaft only.

To identify the exact reference you need, the engine code stamped on the block — not just the engine capacity — is the essential starting point. It also appears on the V5C registration document under field P.5.

Frequently asked questions

Is a engine for this Opel model in stock?

We currently list 6 references reconditioned for this model. Availability depends on the exact engine: enter your number plate to confirm stock in real time, or request an online quote.

How can I be sure it is compatible with my Opel?

Compatibility depends on the engine / gearbox code, not just the model. The most reliable way is your number plate or registration document: our advisers confirm the right engine for your vehicle before you order.

Do I need to send back my old unit?

Yes, that is the principle of an exchange unit: you return your old engine (the core), which we recondition in turn. We arrange transport both ways, so you don't have to handle any logistics.

How long does it take to receive the engine for my Opel?

Once compatibility is confirmed and depending on the availability of the reference, the part leaves our workshop ready to fit, delivered throughout France and Europe, with payment in instalments available (up to 10 payments).
