I recently bought a Corsa C 2002 thanks for a great tutorial saved me a lot of time and effort as i'm getting back into doing work on my own car to save money from these garages looking forward to more videos being uploaded well done and very clear thanks mate.
I've been doing this very job on a 1.2 Corsa C so your video was helpful. The fuel filter was a complete mare. It was rusty and needed changing. I cut the filter off with some tin snips leaving the stubs in the pipes. I got the one on the return pipe off without any difficulty but the one in the feed pipe wouldn't budge so I ended up dropping the tank so I could liberate the feed pipe. The inspection panel under the rear seat made things easier when I was undoing the feed pipe from the fuel pump. Unfortunately, I ended up breaking the clip on the feed pipe so I've had to get a replacement from eBay. I've been doing a video of the service so once I've finished it I'll get it edited and post it up. The cost of the service parts came to about £65 for the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter, fuel filter and spark plugs.
brilliant video, given me great confidence in doing it myself and just ordered everything I need. noticed a few comments about making a video on fuel filter would like to see that also please. thanks again for the tutorial
Great video. My corsa is the same model as this. The service book showed it wasnt due again for about 3 months when I got it a few weeks ago but service light came on recently. Decided to do it myself. Total cost of under £50 including purchase of some tools. Thanks for saving me hard earned cash. :-) Atb Steve
James'sWorld oh... That's a pity!! I know it isn't much of a brain to do it but there's nothing like seeing it in an engine frame similar to the one we've got!! Thanks anyway!! Cheers!!
+Bruno Marú I dont know if you are still interested, but i have another corsa so if you need to see a fuel filter change still i can do one :) Let me know!
James'sWorld Really!? Awesome!! I'd sure love to see it!! I believe I've subscribed your channel but let me know when you do it!! I'll be very much appreciated!! Cheers!!!
Brill video. Got an 02 1.2sxi. Chain started getting noisey on start up. Serviced it with asdas 5w 40w and good oil filter and the chain rattle literally vanished! On the tub it says it's easy flow oil. Maybe a good tip for someone with similar problem. Mine just passed MOT, steering to the right is slightly heavier than the left but passed MOT fine. Used to have the 3 cylinder Corsa too, it was mint but failed MOT on rack and column and water pump. Was a sad day. Anyway enjoyed your video 👍
A tip I use when refitting spark plugs is to fit the tip into a short length of hose and use the hose to guide the spark plug into the engine. There's just enough grip to screw the plug down to finger tight and avoid cross-threading.
Got the same car. It's only a 12 valve as its a 3 cylinder so impossible to be a 16v. Found that for a 1.0l 12v they surprisingly have a bit of get up and go until it runs out of steam.
Hi I have never done a service on my car, I normally have it done from mechanics. But you have made it look so easy to follow. I have a Vauxhall corsa 1.2 litre 04 plate. Are the parts generally in the same place for all vauxhalls?? Thank you for the inspiration to doing my own service.. Just need the tools now, that magnetic plate is awesome...
It really is a very simple process if you have the right tools and knowledge :) yes the parts should be in pretty much the same place on your car too! think of the tools as an investment! once you've done one or two services yourself they have already paid for themselves as you would usually give that money to a mechanic! good luck and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask me!
good video! just the audio was a little quiet! how often do vauxhall recommend to service corsa 2003 model? my car had been serviced for the past 14 years and is due one if it should be done annualy, is there a mileage interval?
on your car manual it's written the liquid capacities so u know how much u need ;) important is to choose the correct TYPE of oil according on your average weather. oil is essential to keep the engine well lubricated, don't go too cheap on it like a scooter.
Hey cool video , may I ask where did you get the exhust system? Im looking for one not loud though , just to give it a sporty sound ( my car Opel Corsa 2005 twinport 1.2 )
U don’t need axle stands, just drive onto 2 paving slabs with your front wheels, this gives just an extra couple of inches of extra height off the ground to get underneath and it is never gunna come crashing down on your head if u haven’t placed em right under the car lol
Ax Learning I may of misunderstood that, but there isn't any lights on the rear bumper, they are reflectors. I can do a rear light video though if that's what you need.
James'sWorld Uh yes thats correct, I meant The rear reflectors. one of mine is damaged and have no idea on how to change it. Also I would like to know how to fit a custom body kit, have you any knowledge on how to fit those?
At 26:44 on the top left corner, one of the hose is for the air intake valve for idling, what is the other and what does it do? Does anyone know? It's def not a fuel line
***** to be completely honest mate neither oil will do any harm, its more a preference thing. 5w30 fully synthetic should be fine. i just choose to use 10w40 :)
Hi, I have a vauxhall corsa c and i think my coolant leak in my car, as i have to top up every 2 weeks and i can see that it is leak on the opposite side of my coolant tank. so how should i fix it.. please help in out.. thanks
Hey, could you make a video on replacing the gear linkage for corsa C ? I've recently bought my corsa. I've noticed that sometimes it's a bit hard to go to first and a hear a bit of noise while reversing. I'm almost sure it's the gear linkage, 'cuz corsas are known for that.
a lot of people says the better oil is 5w30 or 5w40 desox2 . but if there was 10w40 can i change with another type? or some residuals harms when mixing? thanks you. is there also a clutch oil to change in the car?
I have recently had my corsa d 1.2 2011 coil pack and spark plugs changed. However when i start the car there is a tapping noise then when im driving there is a tapping sound every time i accelerate happens in every gear?!? could this be anything to do with them two parts?
pity you never done a video doing a battery change! what a pain in the arse it's been, tried to do it without removing scuttle grill and cracked the feking windscreen......
I guess by now you know your car is an oil burner if you've still got it, black and oily plugs means your engine is burning oil they should be a light brown.
great movie many thx. I have got a question my corsa c 2005 y 74000 miles when engine is cold working like diesel same like on this movie my oil now 10w40 but i gonna change 5w40 th-cam.com/video/ha0OoRUhwTs/w-d-xo.html what you think about this???
I always use 5w30 oil in corsas and never have any issues! :) as long as it sorts itself out once the engine has started I wouldn't worry about it too much, make sure you have plenty of oil in your car and you should be fine :)
I recently bought a Corsa C 2002 thanks for a great tutorial saved me a lot of time and effort as i'm getting back into doing work on my own car to save money from these garages looking forward to more videos being uploaded well done and very clear thanks mate.
Just became the owner of the same model 04 plate. it's immaculate. I'm relying on your tutorials so I can keep it in tip top condition. 👍
That's a lot of pressure! Lol if you have any questions or anything you want to see let me know

Awesome video!!! I learnt so much thank you.
Great video btw. Could you do one showing how to change the fuel filter too?
shenery i can show you on a vauxhall astra which is very similar if that helps you?
When you changed the air filter, just wondering why you took the housing off the bit underneath and not just the top bit?
more videos for corsa c thanks milion bro good job
Got the same car. It's only a 12 valve as its a 3 cylinder so impossible to be a 16v. Found that for a 1.0l 12v they surprisingly have a bit of get up and go until it runs out of steam.

Great video again keep it up. Can I ask why u did 10w 40 oil as I thought it was more a 5w30 oil? Thanks
good video! just the audio was a little quiet!
how often do vauxhall recommend to service corsa 2003 model? my car had been serviced for the past 14 years and is due one if it should be done annualy, is there a mileage interval?
excellent video
Hi James the plugs are black they should be light brown maybe your fuel mix is a bit high?
+Mr Baz Reviews Well spotted, the car was running a little bit rich, i dont have this vehicle anymore though i now have a corsa sxi :)
Great Video Again mate!
Thanks man :D
thank you for this video mate. very helpful!!!. are you able to advise how much oil i should put in after draining the old oil please?
on your car manual it's written the liquid capacities so u know how much u need ;) important is to choose the correct TYPE of oil according on your average weather. oil is essential to keep the engine well lubricated, don't go too cheap on it like a scooter.
thanks very much you're awesome
Hey cool video , may I ask where did you get the exhust system? Im looking for one not loud though , just to give it a sporty sound ( my car Opel Corsa 2005 twinport 1.2 )
Hi do you a vid showing were to jack up car and were the best place for axle stands ,my book shows both in same place thanx
U don’t need axle stands, just drive onto 2 paving slabs with your front wheels, this gives just an extra couple of inches of extra height off the ground to get underneath and it is never gunna come crashing down on your head if u haven’t placed em right under the car lol
Thank you for this, Are you able to make one on how to change the lights? please. Thank you
Do you mean the light bulbs? or the actual headlight assembly?
James'sWorld
Hi James, the actual assembly of the lights on the rear bumber? Thanks for the response!!
Ax Learning I may of misunderstood that, but there isn't any lights on the rear bumper, they are reflectors. I can do a rear light video though if that's what you need.
James'sWorld Uh yes thats correct, I meant The rear reflectors. one of mine is damaged and have no idea on how to change it. Also I would like to know how to fit a custom body kit, have you any knowledge on how to fit those?
Hey man, I have corsa diesel, and cant find an engine number. Where about it is? Thx
At 26:44 on the top left corner, one of the hose is for the air intake valve for idling, what is the other and what does it do? Does anyone know? It's def not a fuel line
Nice video, really helpful.
One thing, was told 5w40 due to 10w being a bit thick on start up?
Any thoughts?
***** to be completely honest mate neither oil will do any harm, its more a preference thing. 5w30 fully synthetic should be fine. i just choose to use 10w40 :)
Cheers man, thought so..
Also what size socket for the oil filter housing please lol
Can I use 5/40 oil as well as 5/30 oil. Just found some 5/40 oil.
Put up how to change a timing chain on one of these please
Hey man, i'm watching all your vids and they are very helpfull. I've got a question. Do a i need a oil filter 'key' to change it?
Not if you have the same engine as mine? I don't even know what a oil filter key is lol. Should just be a socket or maybe a pair of oil filter pliers
Mine is Vauxhall corsa 15 plate. 1.4 eco flex Sri. Am I right in using 5/30 oil as the garages have done when servicing?
Please show us how to replace breakpads on a 2007 opel/vauxhall corsa utility bakkie?
Dunno why I’m watching this I have a polo
😂😂
Lol
Nice one☺
I assume this is the same for a 2004 model
can you put a video up of timing chain change please thanks.
nice one !
Hi, I have a vauxhall corsa c and i think my coolant leak in my car, as i have to top up every 2 weeks and i can see that it is leak on the opposite side of my coolant tank. so how should i fix it.. please help in out.. thanks
Hey, could you make a video on replacing the gear linkage for corsa C ?
I've recently bought my corsa. I've noticed that sometimes it's a bit hard to go to first and a hear a bit of noise while reversing. I'm almost sure it's the gear linkage, 'cuz corsas are known for that.
I have an 04 cdti and it crunches when going into reverse also.
can you make a video on how to change a fuel filter
yes i can! and i will make this my next video! :)
can i change the spark plugs with warm engine?
a lot of people says the better oil is 5w30 or 5w40 desox2 . but if there was 10w40 can i change with another type? or some residuals harms when mixing? thanks you. is there also a clutch oil to change in the car?
I have recently had my corsa d 1.2 2011 coil pack and spark plugs changed. However when i start the car there is a tapping noise then when im driving there is a tapping sound every time i accelerate happens in every gear?!? could this be anything to do with them two parts?
Use an old bit of hose to get the plugs in and start them.
what point do you put your axle stands on this car?
Hard to explain, the pinch weld running down the side of the car is always safe, or any front suspension arm
Use thicker oil bud timeing chain lasts longer ;)
I have Opel Corsa C 2002 half Automatic, I couldn't figer it out when Automatic Transmission Fluid must be changed ?
Did you manage to sort it out
i have a corsac 2002 i replace spark plugs ignitition coil crankshaft speed sensor and it wont start any idea
Did u sort it?
No pollen filter change?!
Would like to see a hydraulic tappets service
plz I have corsa c 2001 do u have adea where can I find radio fuse what's tishrt color and number thanks milion
how to find steering oil l need to chek but l culd find
GimZz 05 might be electric steering
the corsa c is electric asist
Good video, but no need to remove air filter box to change the air filter... the lid comes up... the hinge is on the left hand side.... lol
Sutton IT well spotted, i did it more for viewing purposes, to show all the screws better! :)
I know this may sound dumb but would appreciate if anyone could help / give me a time stamp. But where is the BRAKE FLUID reservoir? Thanks.
Arts&Trusts to the right of the screen wash bottle mate, under a bit of plastic trim that folds up so you can gain access
does anyone know what the Vauxhall spec is for the 5w 30 engine oil to ensure its the correct spec to use for a vauxhal corsa C
Meant to say the Asda oil is fully synthetic
i swear i herd alvin is he helping
pity you never done a video doing a battery change! what a pain in the arse it's been, tried to do it without removing scuttle grill and cracked the feking windscreen......
Chelseaboi1981 lol u fucking moron
Easiest way to empty oil is loosen the sump plug and take a drive round the block......boom it’s emptied
Scott fuck all To do with you , You will then have a fucked engine, BOOM
You better blow away all dirt with an airgun before loosening and removing the sparkplugs!
Hans Harthoorn And clean that oil cap really good after u placed it bottom(oily)-side down on dirty dirty ground
blackcarmafia i did.
I guess by now you know your car is an oil burner if you've still got it, black and oily plugs means your engine is burning oil they should be a light brown.
10w40 nu este indicat pentru aceste motoare, uleiul indicat este 0w40 sau 5w40 dupa 150000km full syntetic.
That engine is a 12 valve not 16 valve
great movie many thx. I have got a question my corsa c 2005 y 74000 miles when engine is cold working like diesel same like on this movie my oil now 10w40 but i gonna change 5w40 th-cam.com/video/ha0OoRUhwTs/w-d-xo.html
what you think about this???
I always use 5w30 oil in corsas and never have any issues! :) as long as it sorts itself out once the engine has started I wouldn't worry about it too much, make sure you have plenty of oil in your car and you should be fine :)
Its defo not a 16.Value ..
lol...this car is not 16v
wow they should be black :(
Bro can you layout the tools please
