Thank you
Hi
So, sooner than I expected, my little Corsa broke down...
Well, did not broke down exactly, but took the opportunity to tackle a few thinks...
One of them, was an injector leak... the injector was covered in carbon, and was not easy to remove...
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
NOTE:
Ideally, you would use the tool to clean and gentle re-surface the bottom of the injector pits. Unfortunately, I don't have one, so had to do it just with a good clean.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!

Mr muscle is exceptionally good for removing the carbon build up.
MrLipp24 You better state oven cleaner as I sent a customer to the shop for some and he came back with limescale remover.🙄

What about fairy washing up liquid
Atf fluid+acetone mix 70:30 soak it over night and in morning they will came out without problem. Also when installing this cooper seals on 1.3 cdti/jtd they tend to leak in head so to make good contact that will last you need to use injector seat reaming tool.
Thanks for the idea...
I don't have that tool... all I have done, was checking the torque few months later... and it actually toke another half turn...🤪

Greeting from Dublin! This is a very good channel for opel corsa D owners and is recommended. I have done a number of repairs on my son's car having followed your guides. Thank you.
That's great!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
If you are doing these any sort of regularly the diesel injector slide hammer tool is a absolute must have, given up using anything else 👍
Indeed...
But that's the thing, is once in a blue moon that I actually have to do anything like this...
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
This is my world . The last cylinder head I threw away was a few weeks ago . Peugeot 807 . I have every slidehammer , hydraulic pullers , seat cutters , accessories for all vehicles . And not the cheap stuff from wherever . Quality that costed me thousands of Euro's over the years . Don't let anybody tell you that every injector can be removed . Hell I even own a magna drill and high end milling bits . Be carefull for your own sake if you take on a job for a client . I let them sign a weaver . I do this also for glowplugs , the same . Lucky for you it came out . I have pulled injectors in half . I love my job but sometimes , I hate it . The diagnostic side is fun but sometimes I am afraid they ask me to fix the problems. Your video shows one of those scenarios
Absolutely!
👍👍👍👍
Do you think that if the injectors were retorqued down every 2 years or so, that would NEVER happen? thanks
@@josepeixoto3384 Smart question but no . Injectors are mainly removed when the seal / copper washer has burnt and the injector starts leaking. Torque spec doesn't change. You would only be tightening them down which will probably result in breaking of the stretch bolt's used for injectors. When you encounter a leaking injector seal and you follow the right procedure for installation like cutting the mating surfaces of the cylinder head and the injector, cleaning etc . You apply a coat of ceramic grease on the body of the injector. Doesn't help prevent the washer to burn but at least you will never have a problem removing a seized injector.

I was just to write the same thing, before I saw your reply Belux...
Absolutely!
I checked them a few months later... but just to me sure that the bolt did not came loose somehow, and that they are not leaking...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Sorry, didn't mean to answer in your place but I couldn't resist😎
Service + Repair Time on personal vehicle, feels very exciting when we tech's do that, bcuz even if we have done the same repair many times on other car's, but there's always something special about personal car😉
Stay Safe❤
🤔
You're right... it does indeed!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
and that is why for decades I hated diesels .. they were always filthy dirty, thanks for the video
🤪
They can be... yes!
👍👍👍
You make a very easy job look very hard but if you do not do a lot of then then it will be hard .. the full job with the service should take no longer than 1 hours 30 minutes . I own my own business been a mobile mechanic. I have done a hell of a lot of then from cars. Vans . And plant maintenance.
Good that you have all the tools...
If i had pullers etc... would be easy... yes...
Got there in the end... that's all it matters to me...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs hey it not the point of having all the tools it just having Experience of nowing how to do the job ... yes you got the job done in the end and 👍👍 to you keep it up ....
Moor you do you will get better at it and have moor confidence
Loved the format with the repair and the music, you might wanna take a look at that fuel gauge tho, it was showing unusually full for one of your videos
🤪
Yes... it is...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Fantastic well done. I did the manifold boost valve on mine six months ago. That was fun.
☺️
👍👍👍
Very useful thanks. Owners of these cars should do regular checks for carbon leakage to catch it early so its easy to replace. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely!
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching!
That is in * E V E R Y * DI diesel, with their L O N G injectors, and that is all diesels nowadays (just not my 5 or 6 cars, Monterey,etc,i do not own DIs,only older indirect injection ones, mechanic's cars, they are smoother,--the first diesels were DIs,then the prechamber was invented, and lasted until the 90s,then the Climate Gang forced the changes, like DIs and EGRs ...whodahell would think of recirculating the poop -- always hated the vibrations they used to transmit into the car; but to be truthful,each case is different, some DIs are amazing,in that they transmit almost no vibes to the driver.
Nice video as usual ,Louis.As an advice for this job (i didn t trusted until i saw with my own eyes) spread a bottle of coke a night before and you will pull the injector with bare hand after :)
🤔
Will might try next time...
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Great tip on filling the well with wd40 to test for a leak! I have a 50+ y.o. Hatz E75 mono cylinder on a dumper. Scratched the seat when removing the copper washer so at least I'll know if it's leaking..
☺️
👍👍👍
Tank full of diesel! That must be your car! Abraço de Portugal :)
Indeed it is...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍
I know what the problem is. There is music coming out somewhere under the bonnet.
🤦♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That one made really laugh...👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I thought it was the noise of the engine as he removed the cover.😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Very interesting check with the WD40. I have always wondered how to verify the seals are doing their job.
😊
Thanks... for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs great video. My Vauxhall zafira 1.7 cdti injectors leaking from top any suggestions how to fix that thanks.
Love changing injector seals on deisels! The cleanup is always a joy. Chug chug Thomas the tank engine! I would just change the copper washer on the one thats faulty and just torque up the others.
If you plan on selling it soon yes do just the one to shift it. But chances are the others are not far behind.
That's actually what I did...
Have not gone around to change the others...lol
👍👍👍
🤞
All good so far...
👍👍👍
I do exactly the same replace the one thats leaking and torque the others ..if its not broken leave it alone !
@@davidwaters5348
👍👍👍
I had to do mine same one as yours right pig to get out also same injector no 1 plug and no 2 plug.2012 61 reg mine was and also the actuators stick on turbo cant replace it on its own need turbo unit but i freed mine of.wonder if its my old car lol first part of reg was fn61
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Very good
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Great stuff as always ;) those jobs can be painful without a puller. I'd be tempted to grab a midrange set for about £40, removed the same type of injector really easily (to my great relief) only few weeks back. Was completely stuck and wouldn't even move with penetrating oil, soft chisel & hammer.
Need to do a few more to compensate the investment...🤪
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
how does the engine attach, mine dose not seem to clip to anything.
Trabalho duro....mas sempre bem executado e bem explicado! Agora está pronto para mais uns kms. Abraços de Portugal
Sem dúvida!
Se fizesse este de trabalho mais regularmente, comprava uns sacas para injectores... mas sabes como é...🤪
Obrigado!
👍👍👍
I thought you weren't supposed to twist the injectors? It's just something I read on the net . Could anyone let me know because I am going to be replacing my injectors soon. Thanks
I was not like giving them a full turn...
Was just a gentle left/right twist in order to release them...
Hooe yours come out easier...😋
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video, but could you get a mic, at times could hardly hear what you were saying so had to turn audio up, then you put a really loud piece of music over the top not to mention TH-cam putting adverts in when your trying to watch something.
Hi Luis, did you really smell nothing at all after this fix? I have a Fiat Grande Punto 85 MultiJet. I just changed those seal's, I had a very small leak at cilinder 4 but nothing serious...
If my car is cold the interior starts to smell like exhaust gases. I think it comes from the Turbo, I also see a bit black smoke around the Turbo...
Any ideas?
Kind regards from Holland
That's a different problem...
If there is smoke leaking in the engine bay, there is obviously a good chance that they are sucked into the cabin...
Inspect where is leaking and repair it..
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
so what was the final torque? not 20 Nm but how much? 30 will be ok? Or maybe the waschers were too thin?
As per the video, I guess a bit extra...
Washers were new, again as per the video...
👍👍👍
Six O’clock in the morning and the wife’s car won’t start. ...Did you have to cook dinner as well or did she let you off with just fixing it? ..stay safe
I actually cook dinner every time she works day shift... and night shift for that matter...🤪
Is life... lol
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
My Opel Corsa 1.3cdti Smoke White for 15 seconds dan after that Is ok plesase Help
On cold start
Hi, my daughter today spotted the smoke from under the bonnet and when I've checked what's going on, it was the blowing around the second injector.
Today I will remove the injectors to check what happen. Ideally would be to have washers set, but there is no any in the area. None in GSF, none in ECP none on amazon, and on ebay some located in Germany or in eastern EU. I wonder where did you get the washers ? Shouldn't be there somewhere another seals like o-rings ? I saw german e-bay listing where there were copper washers and black o-rings together.
Thanks :)
Hi
I can't remember now where I got them from...
That said, Vauxhall should have them...
They are definitely on eBay...
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171773363624?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kcBP45TcRsO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Ov28jkvyTx2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP
Hope yours come out easier, otherwise the washers will be the least of your worries...
🤞🤞🤞
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks,
I had to drive 50 miles (in total) to get the seals today, but job is done.
What is strange - these seals are universal and fit to probably 100 of different cars. How it's possible that GSF and ECP have replacement injectors (that are being sold without seals), but they don't have seals for those injectors?
Is that coincident ? I don't think so :P
Indeed strange...
🤷♂️
Nice you got it sorted, expensive seals though...😋
👍👍👍
Another video material,love it; Isn´t that a poor AVG mileage , 49.1 MPG (5.75 L/100) for that car and engine? but of course it depends on the type of usage ,and on the distance travelled since the last reset;
But i digress,back to my point now: did you do only 2 of the injectors? and left the other 2 to coke and be impossible to remove later on? cheers from Maia in poor Portugal,where the INjustice system and sucks big time...
Hi
Not really... we live is a city center... doing very small journeys...
We also work about 10-15 minutes away... so even when going to work, the engine can't even warm properly...lol
Also, I drive quiet differently than the missus...🤪😬
Anyway, no, I have not yet touched the other two...
I been regularly checking them... so if I see any signs of a leak, I will get them done...
Maia... Porto...
I am from Àgueda...
Well, missus is, I am from Sever do Vouga... just a bit further North...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
hard to remove faulty injectors and sometimes glow plugs , pain in the ass as you say , thank you...
👍👍👍
Where is the fuel pressure sensor in that car?
On the fuel rail...
👍👍👍
Great video ive put the code reader on my corsa and it says.po672 glow plug intermittent but there is a air leak coming from cylinder 2 as there's quite a loud hiss coming from that area and a good puff of air too. Could this code mean it's the same problem your having or is it just the glow plug. Thanks
No... the glow plug will most likely be something else...
Nice!!! Where did you placed the washers? At the bottom of the injector shaft? Was it plain or compressible copper washers?
They go at the end of the injectors. The oem ones are shaped to catch on the injector shaft and give a very tight fit. The ones used in the video appear to be generic but work fine also.
Correct!
👍👍👍
I have a corsa d 1.3 cdti 90hp, do you think it is worth buying mods and getting a k&n filter
I don't think these are engines to play a lot with...
But, hey you can do whatever...

Whay size has the seals?
Pass... I never measured them...
But they looked standard size...

How long did it take to get the injectors out?
I can't recall exactly how long, but took me definitely a few hours...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs ok, thank you for response. It's just that my car (Corsa D cdti eco flex) has a similar problem, it's starts ok on the initial start, but after the car has been driven for a while, it struggle, especially on a really hot day, I would have to leave the car to rest and cool down for at least 30 minutes for it to start again. I ordered some reconditioned injectors, but I tried to take out the current ones and won't budge.
Tank full of diesel surprisingly

AND YET WE WONDER WHY MERCEDES USES RENAULT DIESEL ENGINES............
Super 👌 film i praca, pozdrawiam

leave the sounds, engines, tools, stuff... but please .. No music...
my 5 cents of opinion.

I do fell sorry that you don't like it...
Hole you still appreciate the main message and content of my videos, regardless of how they are edited.

@@LMAutoRepairs Without any doubts your channel is one of the most relevant and enjoyable to follow.
We can learn, see how to do it, have some ideas and offer to you our thanks and support for the time and dedication.
The video editing is fine and will improve as you have new ideas and concepts, but the time-lapse with music (special the ones in the youtube) are depreciated of the work and removes the joy of see it.
Maybe you can find a new band in the region that could build a soundtrack to you but the "cheap" dings dings dings of youtube are annoying.
But you are correct, as soon as you have audience it will be impossible to make everybody happy, and without any reserves I will continue to follow your channel... but with some "mute" on it :)
Thanks for all!
