    If there were more people like you in the world making vids like this helping others out it would be a nicer place. Really good vid.

    @jacksmith-xu7tu 8 років тому +54

    Top Man, awesome. This is the clearest an most instructional way so far available. All the rest want you to take the fluid out of the brake servo an after bleed the brakes and don't give as much detail as you. Your a life saver, thanks a lot.

    • @BMACVAGS

      Very much so! Will be doing this on my Tigra B. Thanks again.

      I agree with you and there is another one I watched the other day.
      A Mechanic in Bristol has made a video of a Vauxhall Corsa C doing the same method.
      I'm happy it's given me good inspiration for my two Corsa's
      Regards

    I did mine today and it went really well. The only thing I did different was to removed all the old sealant with a pick, then cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. I used a hairdryer for 20 minutes to make sure it was nice and dry, and used sikaflex 221 polyurethane sealant . Thanks very much for the video :)

  • @MS-gb3ev
    @MS-gb3ev 5 років тому +5

    Thanks for this video man, without it I wouldn't have had a clue how to do it on mine. Took 2 very messy and laborious days but I got there in the end lol. For anyone else attempting this, make sure you reset the brake light switch when you reinstall the pedal, otherwise your brake lights will be stuck on!

  • @Stratoszero

    Great video, thanks for that. I love vauxhall corsas fast appreciating cars/vans. Well worth the repair.
    Well done, you done a great job of sorting out the leaks and cleaning it all out so it rids all the water as it should do instead of inside on your carpet and such.
    Nice video , nice film/camera work. :)

    Thanks for the tutorial. I now have a car that doesn't leak. It took a while to do and used tec7 to seal around the brake servo. You saved me a fortune. I owe you a pint 👍

  • @jayovtr
    @jayovtr Рік тому +1

    Great video really informative. I used a roof seal brush on fix due to inability to remove pedals etc. 2 coats over existing bead but brush gave me half inch over each side of bead for better sealing. Roof seal, brush on worked amazing if you can't do it fully like amazing video 👌

  • @evolv_85

    Hell's bells, fantastic. A lot of the work put into this is unseen -- I'm thinking of the constant repositioning of the tripod. I took my Opel Tigra for its birthday carwash and three weeks later after sitting in Southern French sunshine I was astonished today to find the driver's side (only) is still soaking, and even some seeds have sprouted. As is obvious I don't use the car often, it's mainly my Ford Courrier; working indépendant it yesterday I noticed some 1" diameter plastic circles whic h I assumed were floor drain plugs . Since you didn't mention it I presume there are no such plugs on the Opel. What a rigmarole to have to go through just because the grills they put there aren't fine enough. An like another commenter mentioned this water might be the cause of a warning/ error light I'll getting .... Well, thanks so much for all the work you've put into this -- 10/10. Am thinking of lifting the carpet and drilling a hole or two... Phew, so much work...

    I've had my Combo for about 2 years now and have done all my own repairs/servicing/mods on it. I was literally about to surrender and take it to a Mechanic as I could find no decent advice on it. Really appreciate this video as I can now do it myself, thanks.

    @Johnny-cv8oe 5 років тому +1

    Wish I had found your video before the two times I have tried sealing my Corsa! I didn’t remove the brake fluid filler so couldn’t get a good seal. This video is the best and I might have another go to see if I can get it sorted one and for all. Thanks man.

  • @jjHoss
    @jjHoss 7 років тому +1

    Good job. I did this last year. Most awkward bit was the 2 nuts inside the car that hold the servo on, needed a deep socket to tighten them back up. Been 12 months, no leaks :)

A job well done especially when no more water gets in after a big down poor after getting it all back together again. Thanks for shearing. Steve.

    Another common leak spot is bcm housing. Sealer inside housing deteriorates and leaks into driver's footwell. Remove the housing, clean old sealer, apply new one and assemble it back.

      @ThePogger 5 років тому

      It's on the opposite side, next to battery. You could just see it in this video. A black box with 6 torx. Electrical connections Inside. The symptom for this one is sloshing water into passenger side when moving off. Resealing the top cover works fine. Yes, mines a 2001 so seen it all with these.
