I had a 2017 Corsa that had awful leaks in the offside rear and front foot wells. There was mould everywhere and had seedlings growing in it. Formally complained about it no joy. The water seeped when stepping into it making the bottom of my jeans wet. Had to get rid of it. Happy with my new car.
For those with the p0171 lean code, check the evap purge valve. The original bosch ones seem to constantly fail and are the likely culprit for that code. In my case the engine was drinking way more fuel, ran rough and was giving off a fuel smell every so often. Along with a few misfires. Changing the evap valve fixed it completely. Take it out, if you can blow through it then it's knackered and needs replacing since the valve is stuck open. Heard online people using maf sensor cleaner to spray in and fix it but honestly just replace the part. Cheap and easy to do.
Great video, as established every car has its pros and cons in your opinion and perspective what is the best car for the lease amount of faults you see and the inexpensive-ness of them
And finally... I'll share some advice for anyone who jas a similar issue.... While trying to change the thermostat - there are 3 bolts with TX star head size e10. All bolts on this model seem to be TX star heads of varying sizes... Anyway, one bolt snapped and i solved this by filing down the barrel that was left in situ (more by luck than judgement as it started wearing down when using the mole grips😂) So I get an e6 TX star head onto it, gently tapped it in til tight, then used ratchet to loosen. Hope this helps anyone who has similar issues.
Driving a 1.4 2015 corsa and every time I sit still service esc comes on the screen with the traction control light, also the service engine light stays on all the time, I changed the battery and this fixed it for a few hours but now they’re back on
I personally believe the coil pack issue is caused by when the spark plug gets messed up and generally down to not using the correct manufacturer recommended spark plug
Had this issue, ran disgnostic engine running lean, change O2 sensor bank 1, Changed both didn’t fix it and same code came up, changed airflow sensor and still didn’t fix it ended up been the valve. Easy way to check it is to take it off your car and try blow through it both ways if you can it needs replacing 👌🏻 2016 corsa E vxr The part from main dealer is £180 which is the one I got but I did find one on Amazon with 5* reviews for £20 but the people also said it makes car sound like a tractor but works 🤣
I'm going to ask you a question that I have been googling, binging and even went to my Vauxhall dealer who sold me my 2019 Corsa, which is exactly the fuse for the reversing lights on my car, all they said was, there's to boxes one in the engine bay, at which point I could have screamed😅, I would like to know where it is or even what amp it is without taking out every single fuse, its not an MOT fail or I would have had to pay Vauxhall a large amount of money just to replace it, the reversing lights fuse is no where in the manual, any help you can give will be great👍👍👍.
There isn’t one as far as I’m aware, I. Sure it’s switched by the Bcm. I’d check the reverse light switch located on the front of the gearbox, that’s the likely culprit
Hi man. Just watched video and thanks for the tips. Came across this as looking for a solution to engine overheating - but before I go there i noticed at approx 4 mins into this video you mentioned a "timing chain" I have been wondering since I bought car - corsa e 1.4 sri 2015 - whether it was belt or chain and when to replace?? Car has done 101000 miles. Any advice greatly appreciated.
My 2015 1.0L ecoflex has no power. Its like someone has removed the turbo. I put my foot flat and the car doesnt respond. The timing chain was replaced 41000km ago. Current mikeage is 241000. Took iff the intake and the turbo is not stuck. It does turn. Haven't checked while the car is running. Engine light is on. Please help.
I had a 2016 corsa sting (90)from new (5miles on it when I picked it up ) the only fault I had was the coil pack had a very slight misfire at 3000 rpm at about 50k, sold the car at 103,000 miles, had it serviced at vx every year, never replaced back tyres and only ever replaced the front tyres once, never had clutch problems or wiper problems, and no speedo problems,it always passed its mot no advisory’s, maybe I was the lucky , just hope my Hyundai is just as good, why did I not buy another corsa there just too expensive and it’s French owned might as well buy a 308, not for me
Top vid mate,would you know why my radio stays on when i stop the car,turn off, and remove the key,it used to go off straight away,but now it takes about 20 seconds or i turn it of at the knob,,Cheer Baza PS Could it be to do with the ignition barrel
Hi again, I cannot get my head around the tyre pressure indicator, it says, "check tyre pressures" I pump the tyres to wear I want them, 3 people eco, and put the "tyre pressure learning active" mode on but not sure what to do after this because next morning it still reads on start up, "check tyre pressures", can you help please.
Could you please advise what battery for me to get for my same shape corsa e 2015 apparently these corsas all come with a varta start stop battery even if your car is not start stop which mine is not. I do not have a radio code and have read that the battery swap needs to be done within 30 seconds or you will have to get the radio code please can you advise
Re initial query about 'engine overheating idle engine' - I replaced thermostat but still getting the warning and now thinking it must be temperature sensor. Seen vids on one going into radiator but also thread on corsa forum says there are 2 sensors - any idea where the other is located? Once again, thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Hi, I have a corsa 2015, my wipers are keep breaking, changed linkage and motor, shifter as well. Relay and fuses. I think it might be ECU problems… anyone can help!
Hi I have notice a weird scraping/grinding sound when setting off in 1st it only happens when i put a lot of gas on when lifting off the clutch biting point but if I do it with a little bit of gas then the sound doesn't occur it only happens in 1st and 2nd gear. any ideas what it could be ? its almost as if it like when the car move more due to accelerating faster something starts scarping off something possibly
Just seen your video, my car radio suddenly has no sound, presume its a fuse as nothing has changed re radio. Do you know what the fuse no is and which colour it is, and is it located in the engine or in the car fuse box. I have a 16 plate 1.4 petrol corsa

Thanks for this, my lad is just learning to drive and these Corsas are eye catchers. However, I think we'll look elsewhere.

Hi - Thanks for your videos. Is there a fuse number particular to the rear offside central lock. The CL has gone twice on my corsa E 2015.
Purge valve, not necessarily do you get a code, it just makes an incredible ticking racket !
Yes you are correct I’ve seen these before ticking - not sure why I didn’t think to say that.

Endless problems with the car keep away from em
100% agree, best thing is a Range Rover or Tesla
Heated windscreen only works on 1 side while the other side remains frosted. Bushes in wiper motor where.Thats the only problem so far.
Those are common on any car tbf
