Great Video, found out that it was leaking and thought that it was going to cost a small fortune. Watched this video and it really helped cant believe how easy it was... Thanks again and keep up the great work.
I did this job on my Astra and it was a pig of a job. Those pliers make it so much easier. I've been give the job of servicing a Corsa C that has been off the road for 2 years so this vid will help me when I come to do the fuel filter. Edit: The fuel filter was a complete mare of a job and I ended up breaking the end of the fuel feed pipe. I've had to buy a replacement on eBay. Getting the pipe off involved dropping the tank down enough so I had enough room to liberate the pipe. The filter was rusty so it had to be replaced. I've shot a video of the service and I'll post it up once I've finished the job. I'll be spraying some white grease on it to prevent it happening again.
great video mate, and like the guy says buy the proper tool to get the fuel line off. i hadn't seen this video a few years ago when i changed mine on the astra. the Haynes manual says you can do it with small screw drivers, be-leave me guys just buy the tool and follow this video you will be so glad you did thanks
very clear great vid thanks just about to try !! also got cutting out problem so hoping fuel filter will change that, update. Very challenging, the filter looked like it hadn't been changed for 10 years, the return connector with the y connector was ceased on the filter and fell apart. I'm now trying to get a replacement, quick connectors with the T piece don't fit , and trying to heat the return line hose to let is expand over the connector is virtually impossible on a hose 20 years old , in short filter cheap rusty connection and deteriorating hoses causing hassle
I just finished replacing the fuel filter. I did it without the special pliers... ... I highly recommend the special pliers. Thanks man, it's been very helpful!
Fantastic video mate. It's nice to see someone actually use a tripod for the camera so we can actually see what you're doing properly. Quick question do you know where the idle air flow is on the engine as I think my needs cleaning but can't find it.
For future, to stop petrol leakage, some cars you have to tilt the filter to get it out, so use the rubber caps from the new filter to block the old one before removing, it'll stop any petrol spillage :)
Hi ....nice vid....when i pulled the connector off there was a small orange o ring in the connector. Does this need to be changed as well? Fuel is just dripping when the pump is activated.
Hi thats a really good video and very helpful so thanks for that. I wanted to ask you about brake pipes. I have a corsa c and it needs brakes lines front to rear and some others renewed for MOT. Can I do this myself or is that a bit tricky? Also Ithought I'd renew with copper pipes but I also see that there are stainless steel pipes on the market. Which is best do you think? I'd like to do hopefully a permanent job so this doesn't come up again. I dont suppose you have a video of that job lol. What sort of cost would you expect a garage to charge for this? Hope you can help , thanks, Joe
Thanks mate, I really appreciate the knowledge. I did'nt know about the pressure relief valve, so that surely has saved me a dose of fuel in the face!! Cheers Please keep posting.
Old one but give it a try. Is it possible to re use the clamps on the filter? I got a new filter but the clamps were missing and the only one they had 😑
Is it exactly the same for a 2015 Vauxhall corsa and how many miles do you have to do before changing your fuel filter, mine has done 34,000 miles. Many thanks
Great vid!! i'm having problems cranking the engine takes a few turns to start.. Not the spark plugs, so i'm guessing a new filter change? same car here 2003 model.. 85000 on the clock.. Checked service history no filter change's ..
Good video. I find it easier to remove the white plastic from the filter first and insert them on to the hoses first then it just slips on nice and easy.
Hey man, awesome video, I have a Corsa C as well, is there a special reason for me doing this? Am I going to notice diferences in consume or performance? Or is this video merely informative IN CASE we need to replace, just asking because I know nothing about cars ahah
great movie works on the Australian 90s combo van as well as for the tool you can still pinch it with normal pliers just remember to keep those little clips to put on new filter.
Ah, this is me answering my own question as I have just discovered that the D petrol, does not have an external petrol filter. It has a so-called lifetime filter. It is apparently part of the fuel pump and therefore lives in the petrol tank. So when the petrol pump dies, you replace that and in so doing, the integral fuel filter. Scotty Kilmer suggests that the pump dies BECAUSE of the lifetime filter clogging up over time and therefore making the petrol pump work harder till it eventually gives out. Replacing the pump looks fairly straightforward and the cost for the unit varies depending on the brand. £50-£170 is the range I have seen today. I'll leave the filter alone now and foccus on the stuff I can do.
Hi, might be a bit of a long shot but what is the guard just in front of the filter (that the fuel lines slot into) called? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Also is it really needed as mine's falling off, just being held on by a bolt. 3:26 gives a clear shot - its the piece on the lower right hand side of the screen
Hey man!! You rock!! I was dying to see this video!! I'm very much appreciated!! Thanks! By the way can you tell me where did you get those pliers or from where did you got them?! One more time, thank you very much for your time, effort and video!! Cheers
That's ok you're very welcome! If you look in the description I left a link to the pliers, if that doesn't work search for fuel line pliers and they should come up :) thanks for watching mate!
This might be foolish question but why isn't all fuel coming out of the tank if you disconnect the fuel line there? Also do you know if the trick with the removed fuel pump relay and attempting to start the engine works on the Peugeot 205? I mean don't you break down anything using that method?
Hello mate, I have a Opel Corsa b which my daughter collided on to the back of another car. I suspect that the inertia switch or the fuel cut off switch has jumped and cut off the electricity to the fuel pump and perhaps to other parts. The car is completely dead and except engine light nothing else lits. I have looked everywhere to find the "inertia switch" or "fuel cut off switch" but I can't find it. Can you help me locating this switch please? It's a Opel Corsa b 2000 model. Thanks in advance.
Ive got a 60k mile corsa from 2000.. new clùtch, rad, pump ect ..but cant afford insurance this year. Any ideas where to take/ sell her so she doesn't end up scrapped. Old but brilliant and sad to lose. Any ideas ?
thanks for this too dude I'll be changing air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter in my barina credit goes to you for teaching me how to do this thanks. also if possible please let us know where to jack corsa c up using trolley jacks( at rear end)
Hi great video I have Vauxhall Corsa Diesel 1.3 eco flex 2008,it does not show the glow plug symbol at all but the car start perfectly all the time is anything to worry about? Thanks.
update on my shambles replace the pipe that was damaged and the connectors only to find they didn't seal properly , a right mess I replaced a section of the return pipe and the Y connector but for new quick release and they don't seal - any ideas great
Thank you, used this to change my Opel corsa lite 2006 fuel filter, very useful and although I couldn't find that tool where I live, to anyone reading this I highly suggest getting one if you can. Was a mission to get the pipes off without it.
great video mate keep them coming .and I'm about to attempt this on my car very soon. wish me luck haha changed my air filter other day so I think I'm the boss now big thing for me this but will need those plier's
another great helpful video! keep it up! also like how last video you mentioned your appreciation for the positive comments you get :) so are you a mechanic or something?
Hi, I am wanting to remove the fuel from a Vauxhall Vectra before scrapping. I have located the fuel line, filter and valve as shown in your video. I wondered if I could release the pipe from the filter to drain the fuel? If so what would you recommend?
top job been meaning to get a pair of those fuel filter pliers for ages! as daft as this is going to sound ive always used a wooden peg haha where did you get yours?
Should be a link in the description but but I got them from eBay, just search for fuel pipe pliers :) mine are by bergen but there is others on there! Thanks for watching :)
Quick question I have a problem with my opel corsa c it turns off after few minutes of running could it be sensor problem or the fuel pump will run 5 min turns of I have to wait few more minutes then it will start again 😥🤔
My fuel filter is absolutely rotten and the damn thing won't budge. I'm using the same tool, too. Gonna have another bash tonight using a large driver.
the bolt that holds in the fuel filter is stripped for me, my philips screwdriver just spins in it. any ideas what i should do? the bolt is rounded so 10mm does not grab onto it
Hello, nice vid, could you please help me. I have an engine light on (NOT flashing). The error code is may be P0170. Best regards and thanks in advance
You're on of the top instructors on youtube, explained every single element of the process at the correct time - more power to you
Your videos make what seems to be a daunting prospect to the noob (me) a realitively easy process. Thanks.
Great Video, found out that it was leaking and thought that it was going to cost a small fortune. Watched this video and it really helped cant believe how easy it was... Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Nice to see someone change the fuel filter. Few people do. Good work as usual.

Thanks for simplifying this especially with the special tool, much appreciated.
Really liking these vids dude! Hope you keep these up as they're helping me sort my own car out!
That's exactly why I make them Mate thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoy :)
Nice job, what about under the behind sits there is also fuel to clean one circle one ?
great video mate, and like the guy says buy the proper tool to get the fuel line off. i hadn't seen this video a few years ago when i changed mine on the astra. the Haynes manual says you can do it with small screw drivers, be-leave me guys just buy the tool and follow this video you will be so glad you did thanks
Great video. It's like watching wheeler dealers
Brilliant quality video! Do you work on Corsa Ds at all?
Did this several times on my car. You've explained it in a good way. Thumbs up
very clear great vid thanks just about to try !! also got cutting out problem so hoping fuel filter will change that, update.

Brilliant. Never done this before but have the confidence to do it now. Thank you.
I just finished replacing the fuel filter. I did it without the special pliers...
... I highly recommend the special pliers.
Thanks man, it's been very helpful!
thanks for the video! I used it today to do this job. Keep up posting these helpfull information and i subscribed to your channel.
Fantastic video mate. It's nice to see someone actually use a tripod for the camera so we can actually see what you're doing properly. Quick question do you know where the idle air flow is on the engine as I think my needs cleaning but can't find it.
Clear, detailed video. The valve is for diagnostic purposes I believe. I.E fuel pressure testing. Relieving pressure it will do too.
wikid mate great video, looking fwd to putting it into action here in rainy Portugal, is that a westcountry accent i hear?!
For future, to stop petrol leakage, some cars you have to tilt the filter to get it out, so use the rubber caps from the new filter to block the old one before removing, it'll stop any petrol spillage :)
Thanks man !! I'm learning a lot from you :)
Thanks for the trip on the fuel valve. Was working on a Meriva. The fuel pump relay would have been a pain to get to. Its well hidden.
Hi ....nice vid....when i pulled the connector off there was a small orange o ring in the connector. Does this need to be changed as well? Fuel is just dripping when the pump is activated.
Thanks for posting. Have to change the fuel filter on my Dads 2003 Agila. Same filter and same engine. I had no idea about the relief valve. Thanks
Hi, nice video straight forward and extremely helpful. I own a t reg 1.2 corsa will the fuel filter be located in the same place as yours? cheers Mark

Thanks for showing how to relieve the pressure
I have a vetra c I was wondering how to do this.
Your video explains the process clearly
Good vid. That's another job I'm gonna have to do. Making it look so easy how could I not. Brake pads and shoes next please. 👍😉
What's the interval for both petrol and diesel Corsa pls ?
Thanks again to The Savage Garage!
Another well made, informative , youtube tutorial, from yourself.

Cheers , keep up the good work .
Instructions clear as crystal!!! Excellent organisation of material and presentation!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate the knowledge. I did'nt know about the pressure relief valve, so that surely has saved me a dose of fuel in the face!!
Cheers Please keep posting.
gonna undertake this on a Zafira this weekend the fuel pressure bit was helpful
Old one but give it a try. Is it possible to re use the clamps on the filter? I got a new filter but the clamps were missing and the only one they had 😑
Clear, concise, informative. Perfect.
Great video mate perfectly explained
Also I need to get a set of those pliers cos using 2 flat heads was a ball ache 🤣
Is it exactly the same for a 2015 Vauxhall corsa and how many miles do you have to do before changing your fuel filter, mine has done 34,000 miles. Many thanks
Hi man I have the gsi version can you please explain on how to fix petrol gauge as its not gauging and speedo as well
Great vid!! i'm having problems cranking the engine takes a few turns to start.. Not the spark plugs, so i'm guessing a new filter change? same car here 2003 model.. 85000 on the clock.. Checked service history no filter change's ..
Will this help clear up any smoke coming out the exhaust bro?
Good video. I find it easier to remove the white plastic from the filter first and insert them on to the hoses first then it just slips on nice and easy.
Excellent video. Thanks. Really well explained.
Hey man, awesome video, I have a Corsa C as well, is there a special reason for me doing this? Am I going to notice diferences in consume or performance?
Or is this video merely informative IN CASE we need to replace, just asking because I know nothing about cars ahah
great movie works on the Australian 90s combo van as well as for the tool you can still pinch it with normal pliers just remember to keep those little clips to put on new filter.
Quality presentation many thanks. Is this the same procedure for the Corsa D 1.2 petrol would you know please? Again, many thanks.

That's ok you're very welcome! If you look in the description I left a link to the pliers, if that doesn't work search for fuel line pliers and they should come up :) thanks for watching mate!
The Savage Garage Oops, my bad.. After posting the comment I went back and read the description.. Thanks!!
Just used this video to help do my fuel filter. Would you have any idea why my corsa leaks water on the passenger side interior ?
This might be foolish question but why isn't all fuel coming out of the tank if you disconnect the fuel line there? Also do you know if the trick with the removed fuel pump relay and attempting to start the engine works on the Peugeot 205? I mean don't you break down anything using that method?
Is this the same on a diesel?
Any help gratefully received.
Cheers James.

New subscriber. This looks really simple thanks. Please do the crankshaft sensor next!

Excellent video
Plain and simple with no bullshit

my friend you doing good keep on with some good videos about vauxall
Great tutorial, perfectly explained. Thanks a lot 👍
Are you able to give me some advice on my Vauxhall corsa?
What's the name of those pliers you were using mate??? They look quite handy.....
If you search on eBay for fuel line pliers they should come up, I have left a link in the description to the exact ones I have
+The Savage Garage , thanks dude will have a look asap, keep up the good work its entertaining to watch....
+Daniel Effard appreciate it mate :) glad you enjoy!
Hi, I am wanting to remove the fuel from a Vauxhall Vectra before scrapping.
I have located the fuel line, filter and valve as shown in your video. I wondered if I could release the pipe from the filter to drain the fuel? If so what would you recommend?
Carl Brierley I would remove a fuel line and crank the engine so the fuel comes out, or just drill a hole in the tank if scraping it
Excellent. It's a full tank and thought I could release the valve pressure when my bucket is full?
top job been meaning to get a pair of those fuel filter pliers for ages! as daft as this is going to sound ive always used a wooden peg haha where did you get yours?
Should be a link in the description but but I got them from eBay, just search for fuel pipe pliers :) mine are by bergen but there is others on there! Thanks for watching :)
+The Savage Garage so there is! thanks :) what are you doing for your next video?
+Dean Mclone probably going to be the next part to project Sri bud :)
Quick question I have a problem with my opel corsa c it turns off after few minutes of running could it be sensor problem or the fuel pump will run 5 min turns of I have to wait few more minutes then it will start again 😥🤔
brilliant video as usual, great help thanks. never been excited for a video before lol
Thank you so much! That means a lot as I know what it's like to get excited for a TH-cam video! Appreciate the comment :)
Did your fuel mileage get better after this ?
Excellent videos, subbed ! 👍🏻
I cant see the fuel pressure valve. I would like to take petrol pump fuse out. Is the fuse the same as the relay?.
My fuel filter is absolutely rotten and the damn thing won't budge. I'm using the same tool, too. Gonna have another bash tonight using a large driver.
the bolt that holds in the fuel filter is stripped for me, my philips screwdriver just spins in it. any ideas what i should do? the bolt is rounded so 10mm does not grab onto it
Very well explained. Thanks
Very helpful, like all your vids, great, thank you.
Hi guy..l have corsa c 1.4 2002 model and its need a repair engine mounth. But l cant find here its orginal parts..can you help me?
Brilliant thanks for the upload, really helpful 👍
Wish you would come back to posting:)
Many thanks for your excellent tutorial👍😎.
Is there any other way to remove if you don’t have the tool
i've a question. I turned off my corsa c and after 10 minutes pushed the valve on the fuel rail and there was not any pressure.
Is that normal?
My Corsa is consuming fuel... Could the filter be the problem?
way to go mate. good job
Question - Whats with the vice grips next to the accelerator pedal? Haha
Thanks man! helped me with me Chevrolet Utility :)
Helpful video thanks buddy
Superb, really helpful, thank you
What if your new filter doesn’t have those plastic clips
Thank you.
However, I'm stuck at trying to locate the twist off cap to the release valve! Opel Tigra Twintop. Anyone?
Good channel man. Are you a mechanic or a DIYer?
Just a DIYer mate, started to save money on labour but found a love for it so its my hobby now
Hello, nice vid, could you please help me. I have an engine light on (NOT flashing). The error code is may be P0170. Best regards and thanks in advance
Can someone tell me does the Vauxhall Adam have a fuel filter. And if not why. Thanks
