IF its the original engine its a B6 so its a XU5ja or XU5JA/K

 

to confirm this look for the small aluminium plate thats on the cylinder head next to the mounting by the top timing cover.

Its an Xu, but the 1.9 and 1.6 cylinder heads are identical, just the cams are slightly different.

All CTi's used the 115bhp engine and never the early engine so the basic head's the same, But looking at that VIN plate is from a Phase 2 model from 1991 on wards only
