C20Xe Engine Number

[Ems]

Is there any way of finding out the year and type of car a C20XE engine came out of from the engine number? It will make it easier to get spares.

Thanks

[ASCONA-HOLIC]

If it is of any help, I found the following:

The first two digits show the manufacturing plant, as follows:

.'01' = Rüesselsheim
'02' = Bochum 
'08' = Ellesmere Port 
'14' = Kaiserslautern 
'19' = Aspern 
'20' = Hungary 
'25' = Holden 
'31' = Brazil 
'0S' = Szentgotthard 

It seems that most C20XE were manufactured in Kaiserslautern. Mine starts also with "14", however I try to find more information concerning the car it came from.
