Something I always do oil change every 3000 , 5w 30 deoxys 2 good advice son 👍 also cooling car down helps maintain the oil quality , correct me if I'm wrong I'm pretty sure the Pistons have jets below to cool the Pistons on the Corsa so oil change is a massive deal
Thermal shock to the pistons will the biggest killer Also Courtney sport are a good company as they were the only Vauxhall specialist at the time able to map my Astra j vxr
125000 here no problem not forged 3 inch cobra with sports cat still going strong 4000 miles oil filter oil change do plugs ever 10k never had a problem had car over 4 years now .
@@DP-pn4uz ah thats gd what is make? Mines a 2014 standard and exhaust is blowing all ova mid section and its the original ..... don't think that's right
Good vid mate, some great information in there. I take it easy for the last mile of the journey as well as giving it a few mins to cool down once I arrive
How to prevent it: step 1 do a compression test Step 2: just get it forged😂 good information said to others who don’t know how p4 happens, I’ll just get it forged if I end up with a corsa vxr
@@Yodaracing1 Personally I wouldn’t mind a corsa vxr but I’ll just need to forged the engine straight away and get it to 400bhp as 400bhp is enough power for uk roads in my opinion
@@Yodaracing1 I may run more in my other builds but for a daily 300-400bhp is plenty😂 that’s why I’m thinking about a vxr just for a sensible daily to run 400bhp but it’s not really different in my area
If you just wanted an exhaust sound cat back, that wouldn’t be a problem would it? I’m currently running a stock vxr with a pipercross panel filter. I get a good sound from that but I want more exhaust noise . Mines a 2014 one. I’m not after big bhp as it’s a car for getting me to work a bit cheaper than running my weekend toy Porsche.
When looking about for one it seems hard as companies don’t quote my car year for scorpions or Remus, I’m guessing it’s fitment due to flanges etc rather than under body shape of the exhaust? Corsa is still the same underneath in the triangle tailpipe bumper years of manufacturing. Can you recommend anything? Tia
@@mattdalby1210 ahh nice late one I’m pretty sure from the cat back they are the same anyway as for exhaust your probably best going 2nd hand try jj vxr parts on Facebook
@@Yodaracing1 they dont have bigger injectors at all. All Corsa D VXRs have the same size injectors. Often recommended to upgrade to 395cc, wont need them mapping in as they arent much bigger than standard. Corsa E vxrs come with bigger injectors standard and dont suffer with P4 as often.
@@MrTbeat15 no they dont, they have the same injectors as any other VXR. Only VXR's that have bigger injectors are the E VXR. Part codes are the same for the burg, clubsport and normal VXR.
Hey, I have important question to you. Is there the same problem with z16let in astra h/j which not remapped? I will be happy for your answer in my country this engine is not popular so there is no too much information.
Thanks for the vid! I own a OPC nurburgring who has been stage 2 tuned, I want to have bigger injectors to prevent piston 4, where can I buy these and which ones do I meer?

That’s awesome mate another example of if u look after them they will be fine
Yes it’s been a decent one to be fair apart from alloys and stupid pot holes lol
Run it on 99 or as close to premium fuel , put a cool running thermostat on it and at least 6 monthly changes and you'll be grand
@@beewisebeestronger6224 regular oil change is the way just passed mot too so bonus

After an injector cleaning we measured 280cc @3bar on the stock injectors. So at 3.3bar it’s not bad from a stock one 😉
Don't get it mapped it's running high power standard already
I had a 57 plate standard power 96k no issues with p4 other than coil pack

That’s right mate 5/30 is the grade u will need

Yours should be fine mate
Good advice dude👍
Can I ask if the VXR Nurburgring Edition has the same issues with piston 4?
They got slightly bigger injectors so it’s not as common on them 👍🏻

I’m not overly sure about the z16let As the Corsa runs the z16ler
thanks for your answer :)
@@Sobolek66 no problem sorry I couldn’t be any more help
This might of been asked but does this happen on the corsa e aswell?
Sorry mate only just spotted this it’s a lot more rare on the corsa e but it can happen if the car gets abused etc
is the old vxr faster/better than the newer 2015 onwards one
also what are the newer model issues/common problems?
Best way to avoid it failing is just don’t buy the car or sell it before it blows up lol
😂
if pistons and rods are forrged is there any issues?
Once forged they are pretty bullet proof obvs can still blow up if you abuse them lol
@@Yodaracing1 do the electrronics have issues?and transmision can it handle 300 hp?

Piston 4 looking at the engine left to right 1 is the first on the left and 4 is the last on the right
@@Yodaracing1 I was being a turd but cause u are so polite I'll give u a thumbs up 👆
Chances of a P4 killing itself if I drive like a granny in a stock vxr?,
As long as it’s warmed up properly should be fine just take care of it and it will take care of u
