Interesting to see this spark plug assembly. Useful tip about getting the correct torque. Thank you.
No worries, RDT. That torque wrench certainly comes in handy.
Thanks CarSpy. I couldn't actually find the sparkplugs when I first looked under the bonnet! And only three cylinders too! That's pretty unusual.
Anyway with your easy to follow guide, I soon had the plugs out, cleaned and replaced and good to go.
Thanks for posting.
You're welcome. Glad the video helped. More Corsa content to follow.
Very well explained and useful to know.
Thanks Bob.
Well explained and demonstrated, as always.
Just one note, never assume any part fitted to an old car is the correct or most appropriate part (or is fully functioning as it should). This plug change is a lot easier than with certain VW engines where you may need a special coil puller and a special long thin-walled magnetic plug socket and perhaps special magic VW grease.
Interesting points, Nta16. Perhaps some car manufacturers deliberately make common maintenance tasks tricky. Changing bulbs, for example.
A driver is then more likely to visit the dealership, pay for such work, and meet a salesperson who has a ‘great offer’ on a new car.
@@CarSpyTV the German marques particularly seem to like to make things over-complex to look 'clever', never mention German engineering "quality" to me I literally suffer from the "brilliant' idea of wheel bolts (instead of studs).
My transit is all different, mine is a v4 takes a long time to warm up in a morning, you have a good weekend mate
Ah yes! In my youth, I drove a Datsun Sunny Estate. If I didn't let the engine warm up, it waited until a dangerous time - for example, pulling onto a roundabout - then cut out.
I still miss that car, though. Enjoy your weekend too, Ian.
@@CarSpyTV so true I set off onto a1 and lost all power, had to warm up before driving 🚗
Another great video. As always, very detailed, precise and a good portion of comedy :) it’s always interesting to see how different companies deal with similar jobs. Cheers
Thank you, Matt. Glad you enjoyed the video. Mr Owl has now stolen my socket set!
@@CarSpyTV lol, What a sneaky sir he is.
Very useful. Always good to have a spark😊
My thoughts exactly!
Can also be done without a torque wrench. Many spark plug manufacturers put an angle of tightness on the box. For example, the Bosch spark plugs for my car need doing up snug by hand and then turning a further 90 degrees.
Interesting comment, Paul. Thanks.
Brilliant video, thank you Sir. I always check the gap and according to Opel/Vauxhall it is supposed to 0.9 mm. The torque should be 19-20 NM. Regards from Denmark.
Thank you for the interesting comment and best wishes from the UK.

Thank you sir! I was able to change mines, in 20-30 minutes, with a spark plug key. Thankfully for me only the first one was a little bit jammed.

Very well explained. Thank you.
No worries, Anne.
Thank you for this video
Really struggled to get the coil pack off. Couldn’t get any leverage on the opposite side to the connector
@@CarSpyTV was unsuccessful in getting the coil pack off.
Couldn’t get any leverage on the opposite side to the connector. Will try again tomorrow.
Good luck getting it sorted.
can you remember what torque setting it was mate, i know its been a long time.
As I recall, it was 20 - 22Nm.
