i had the same problem but my car has electoronic mechanism. Do you know how can i fix it?

That's isn't my problem in corsa the white cable is in position its just thr metal rod doesn't go in when you move the dial and only moves if you grab it and push the cable yourself so I have a tightness problem or it's where the cable bends behind the dial

Hi, thank you for this good video! I have a question for you. When I put the longer bolts to drop the su frame, I need to take off any components or there is no problem? I need to take off the hand brake cable for example?

I bought the bearing liner kit. But the material number is A1321500016. It seems does not the same with yours? Could you tell us the details of these bushings and bears, how to put them into the generator and timing case? 😊 Thanks for your reply!

Cheers for sharing this, very helpful! Just changed the bearing liner on my 09' plate MHD. Also changed the tensioner arm for an aftermarket Gates one which has rubber bushings to avoid the problem the OE ones have with getting seized over time.

thanks million times your help!!!!

Wtf,,,,let's video sweeping😮

Was that a ZZ Top key chain?

I hope you restore it , the car looks like it was painted.

For anyone with a sticky directional switch that springs back to the top setting, try the following to fix it: Remove all stereo etc and unplug the blue plug and the white plug. Now look at the cables that attached to the heating controls.....they should be straight. If you see a bend then this needs to be straightened out. My cars plastic parts weren't broken, just the cable had a bend. I applied a little heat with a cigarette lighter and bent back the metal cable. Be careful not to break it so be patient. The give away was when you go to buy a new cable....you can see they are sold dead straight, they don't have a bend on either end. Hope this helps!! Garages were quoting couple hundred just to diagnose the problem 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Very beautifull

....and what will you do with it now? Ebay?

Jeezuz Krist, hold the bloody camera still for 5 seconds !

Nice 👍

Hi there im looking for a mechanic to look at my smart fortwo 451 mhd where in essex are u based.

Nice tutorial thanks. Unfortunately I have to do this jobs, as you can imagine I'm not very excited.

😊😊😊

your video name position dial but your video only about kables and connectors ?

Brilliant video mines just btoke

Thank you, just had this problem this morning on a corsa. Nice video, short and direct to the cause. You are doing a great job!

when the crank and cam locking tools are in place is it TDC at compression stroke or exhaust stroke ??

Can you show how to fix the knob cause the air is not out in the front out but always in the foot and front glass only

Hello my aircon is not working but the air is always out in the dashboard??? And not in the front..which I need for aircon..how to fix it DIY..I need your advice thanks

Where are you located ? Also how much for this type of job ?

Can someone tell me what’s that called that needed fixing need to get a new one myself but don’t know what they called

Thanks very much for this video, helped no end when doing this job 👍

Thank you again. I need to check mine. I just got the starter on. I told you how much that video helped me. It didn't help they sent the wrong starter in the right box the first time. Just today I bolted the engine back up. Have one other problem. No 12 volts on the battery cable to the starter solenoid. I ran a jumper to the terminal from the battery + and the key worked. Someone online is telling me to run a fresh wire from the + terminal and splice it under the car. Insulate accordingly. I didn't hear the fuel pump till today when I replaced the battery terminals (new battery too). The cable is the next step.

Engine is down. Mines a CDI so it’s a bit different. I unbolted the AC compressor and flipped that over, hoses and all. The water pump is next. One starter bolt is forward, outside of the inter cooler duct. My injection pump is in the way of taking out the fan. So I’m planning on cutting a small hole in the side right across from the second starter bolt and using a magnetized socket to remove it. Then it goes back together

Hello there, is the alternator act as a starter motor for the car? Because I'm trying to find a starter motor for it.

Well put together...informative...to the point, excellent Video, at least know I know what I'm in for. Thank you, It is in deed very useful.

This is so timely.

Crazy work just to take out the alternator

Did you have to do anything with oil pump, a few people have mentioned removing that torx bolt next to where the crank shaft locking tool goes before removing the oil pump?

Thank you for the video.

Beautiful job thanks I done as 👍😋

Same here. Noticed on mine, plastic coil pack cover had a broken luggage. Was letting water in, alongside oil filler cap. Rag, Lashings of WD40, Broken plastic cover back on. Strip of Gorrilla Tape along the edges. Been good as gold. I live in WALES lol. We make the Rain. Shit design, but great little car.

Excellent succinct video. Water pump tip is brilliant. I changed mine because of extreme rattle on startup even when just stopped and restarted. I think my problem was the hydraulic tensioner. It was loosing oil when the engine stopped and chain becoming slack. Thicker oil would have helped but probably wouldn’t have been good elsewhere. Kit cost €135. Chain wasn’t stretched much. Slots on the back of camshafts are slightly off centre so the lobes facing in is kind of obvious. I didn’t have timing kit so tried to put back on the chain exactly as the old came off as I’ve done before but this didn’t work this time. Pistons were hitting valves on hand turning. So I removed plug 1 and set engine to tdc with a rod inserted and resting on piston and a bar across through the 2 slots on the back of the camshafts. Completely crude but no choice. Put on chain then and check timing a few times. Right or wrong, it worked. Other tips. I got away without removing sump. Kit suppliers recommended removal but I took that chance too. Secondly, 11mm bolt beneath water pump is a drain plug for coolant in engine. Handy for catching as much coolant as you can. Alternator and air con compressor must be removed to get timing cover off. I used a picture of a timing cover for sale on eBay as a reference for what I was not able to see clearly in my engine bay. Hope this helps as much as the video above.

Two years ago I took my 2010 Corsa's centre console apart to replace two tiny bulbs behind the controls. I unbent the bowden cable, put grease on the heater matrix gears under the dash, and it worked... for a month, until it snapped! I bought a new bowden cable set (OEM part 93189466), cut my hands up again fitting it only for the vent dial to shortly stop rotating again. I suspect it's got bent due to the heater matrix vents being "sticky" with old seals and thus hard to open. It's a pig of a job and I can't be bothered doing it agan. I've now left the vent dial on the windscreen/feet setting and fortunately the heat dial still rotates perfectly. In my opinion it's poor Vauxhall design to use a long, stiff cable to move plastic gears, especially as the vents under the dash get harder to move as they age. More modern vehicles use electric motors and buttons to change vent settings.

somebody who actually knows how an engine works both cams inwards .....thanks the best info on TH-cam for putting one of these back together .....germans foiled again ....good man

Thanks for this!

I cant se how you put this things back on place

Hi how safe are these engines ...friends corsa d ...has correlation code and mega chain rattle...what is needed to lock engine just cam setting bar and crank pin thanks

Iv got to do this on my car this morning. Thank you for the video.

How did you get the unit out?

Great video, took the unit out and found the wire coming out of the cable and going to the direction mechanism has a bend in it which appears to be preventing it from sliding into the cable when the knob is turned the other way. Any ideas if or how I can fix this from either the control end or behind the glove box? Cheers mate 👍

Ive the exact same problem mate thanks for the video

I have that problem, just bought corsa month ago, all the time problem. I live in Ireland, lots of rain. I will look, just changed spark plugs and coil, worked perfect for a week nó rain though and again spark plug basicly swimming in the water.

Milage?
