I don't see how this would flush out all the coolant in engine block and heater core. Would have to do this severalTimes with plain distilled water until it turns clear running the car to temp making sure it's circulating around the block and heater core.
At the bottom of the radiator you can only extract approximately two-thirds of the total capacity of the cooling circuit. Indeed the engine block does not have a drain plug on its exterior but the lower part of the engine block and the water pump are internally connected. At the bottom of the water pump (between the pump and the right engine mount) there is a torx valve plug (T-30) that allows the pump and the block to be emptied. Here, you can extract approximately one-third of the pump total refrigerant capacity. To empty the internal heater you must disconnect the left hose in the fire panel to insert a 6 mm diameter and 1 meter long tube to suction or pump about 300 cubic centimeters of refrigerant, in this way you have managed to completely empty the circuit. It may be worth dismantling the right engine mount to remove the cap from the bottom of the cooling pump. Greetings.
Nice one. I got a little.worried as my new corsa doesn't have min. Or max. Markings .. just a COLD sign stating it's about the same level as the end of this video 👍
That's the coolant level you want whenever the engine is still cold and the car is parked on a level surface. It will rise a little to the actual "MAX" as the coolant heats up. It will rise a lot and overflow if the header cap is stuck open.

Hello, I've done this and my 2005 Corsa C 1.2 Twinport only took 2.5L of anti freeze, I didn't have to add any water, have I done something wrong? It doesn't overheat or anything I left it running for around 30 mins
Hello , can I use HEPU coolant alone with no water? I have OPEL CORSA B 1999 1.6 IE . I am looking for manual and also for technical spec or basic repair guide. Thank you for you video , hope you can help if you can , thank you, Greetings from South Africa.
+Zsinor Motors Hey , i struggled to flush my car yesterday. I can not find a bottom hose pipe, i only have 2 pipes. 2 at the top. The left one is TOP Radiator going to Cam Belt section on to Thermostat housing. Very very hard to take it off, it feels like this rubber is very tight on the thermostat housing. The other hose is also right side TOP and next to thinner hose TOP right also. The thin hose goes to the reservoir bottle. The big hose goes I THINK to engine head block. What I did was remove bottle thin hose (over flow pipe , let it drain in to pan. I put hose pipe in to bottle and let the water come out from small pipe , eventually the water goes clear. I put back small pipe to bottle. and put water back in to bottle and also close cap. I idle , turn on heater, plus fan on to 4. I let radiator fan come on 2 x. I turn off wait for pipe to be cooler. I open cap take off overflow pipe, let water flush again , little little old coolant or brown came out. I then put garden hose pipe back in to bottle and let overflow pipe drain to floor. I also let car idle little bit. I was also pressing pipes ... Anyways, in the end i put HEPU coolant 1.5 bottle plus new bottle maybe 200 mill . I use maybe 1.7 in total. I do not know of my method was good or stupid? Please give me advice. Also for me, HEPU coolant very expensive. I have maybe 1.3 liter HEPU left and also 5 litre of DISTILLED water which i never use yet. I want to know if need to use different method and if my way was stupid. If you like i can show you picture of my car engine. Thank you Zsinor Motors
Red coolant is a type of coolant made with OAT (Organic Acid Technology) for engines that contain aluminum parts and for long servicing intervals (the green one needs to be replaced every 2 years, but 5 years is generally ok for the red type). It's made by a lot of producers.
i have the Motul inugel Optimal with Organic Acid Technology. a lott better than the standard G12 or G13 The engine now stays cool between 85° and 87° degree. With the standaard coolant it keeps getting warm between 92° and 96° and kicking the fan.

Damn, a silent movie, better than all the excessive talkies on the same topic. Excellent work, so simple and precise.
Brilliant simple clear video with no waffle. Why aren't all video tutorials like this?!
Super great video! But mostly i'm impressed by the smart use of the liquid soap pump :) :) Thanx!
what I thought, genius
This is a great tutorial. Bang on.....did mine tonight. Even the hose is a great idea.
You're Welcome
Great video, thank you. Did mine today and it worked like a dream.
Thanks! I just needed to drain someso i could release the hose(s) around the EGR. This helps.
Very Good Tutorial will be doing my wife`s corsa at the weekend when i change the Thermostat.
Great video mate, I've an Opel Corsa 07 D series, but its a similar enough job from what I've heard so gonna do this myself tomorrow thanks a mill!

Good Vid but you just changed the coolant in the radiator, not the engine block this is not a full coolant change
Top vid mate 👍
Best video ever!👍🏻
Thanks a mill. I've an vectra. is it the same for an 08 vectra? thanks a million
Hose diameter for flushing that you used was 1/2 or 3/8?
Can I use the same method with my NEW Astra J 2012 ? If so , what coolant should I use ? What motor oil should I use too ?
Thanks
Kathryn , Germany
Really good and tidy video.
Thanks!
Than you so much for this video :)
You're Welcome! :)
Thank you I put break fluid in there by accident so going todo this
Haha I did the exact same thing was driving it a few months aswell
Nice one. I got a little.worried as my new corsa doesn't have min. Or max. Markings .. just a COLD sign stating it's about the same level as the end of this video 👍

Holy shit my cars exactly the same but it's a Holden right hand Drive

Hi, I'd like to ask, after filing the coolant and start the car I have to let the coolant tank still opened? Thank you for answer
whats mean of voice timing chain after start engine 5 sec. when engine cold.. oil lamp is still on .. ? whats the prob ? or its normal ? 2005 and 195k km corsa c
Sell the car
Does this model have an engine oil cooler? If so where is it please 1.4L model. Thanks!
`how to know if my vehicle needs Blue coolant or Pink? are there any differences? I live in the UK.
You used glysantin g30?
Hello, I've done this and my 2005 Corsa C 1.2 Twinport only took 2.5L of anti freeze, I didn't have to add any water, have I done something wrong? It doesn't overheat or anything I left it running for around 30 mins
Can I use straight water as in non distilled water and no coolant
Thanks
So what's the water to anti freeze ratio ?
Shop ratio.😂😂
Hello !

Magyarul jobb lett volna. :D Na, elkezdem olvasni.
+Zsinor Motors I dont understand :), please english my friend
Sorry, I thought you understand Hungarian. Imre Csoka is a Hungarian name. :D
Hi its a great video,but does anyone know how much fluid is require for whole system? Thanks
On my 1.2 it was 2.6 litres but then this type of drain just does what's in the radiator, not the entire system.
Hi how much liters did go in ? the whole system ?
12 liters
that little nut thing you tunrt i dont even have it i looked where yours is on mine and its not there
Hi does anyone know where coolant/radiator drain is located on vauxhall corsa D and also is it the same method to unscrew it?
Left under on the radiator.
is it a mixture of water and antifreeze or pure antifreeze ??
It seems pretty diluted IMHO. Something like 40% antifreeze and 60% distilled water.
Can I just ask how much coolant was needed to top it back up?
Looking forward to an answer, I bought 2 litres and I don’t think thats enough. Corsa C Gsi
@@Mkhululy definately more than 2 litres, I think 4 litres should be a good amount to be safe
What Coolant you use?
Can I use G12 Plus?
Thanks!
Opel/ vauxhall use Dex Cool
+Protab Ali I know but also can I use G12 ? I think G12 Plus is better than Dex Cool...
+João Rodrigues as long as the old coolant is flushed out properly it should be ok
+Protab Ali Thanks!
How many litres did you put in?
z10xep, z12xep, z14xep engines take 4.9l coolant, z18xe takes 5.4 l coolant, z13dt 6.1l, y17dtl 7.1l, z17dth 6.1l coolant
red coolant? are you using Paraflu™?

The engine now stays cool between 85° and 87° degree. With the standaard coolant it keeps getting warm between 92° and 96° and kicking the fan.
h astránál is b ennyire könnyü? :D
What coolant can use for corsa 2004 and can we mixed with watered well
WONDER WHY YOU CHANGE THE COOLANT IF YOU NOT DRIVING THE CAR LOOK TO THE ENGINE :D
Hangos a vezérlánc. :(
A tiéd, a miénk, vagy csak a videóban? :)
***** A videón nagyon zajosnak tűnik.
Amúgy nem az, 2 éve lett cserélve.
