Great video, tip for people struggling with 06:30 you can you a deep socket, either a 10mm , 13mm or 15mm (I forget the size) but that is deep enough to reach down onto the nut without rounding to loosen it a few turns.
Great tip that, thanks for helping others out and commenting :-)
@@junkendriven hey Andy you may want to put a link to part one in the description for added views 👍🏼
Hallow Andy. I’ve just through the hoops with 1.4D corsa. Fault fan on constant. 1st relay- wrong item. 2nd item fitted, but not the fault. 3rd was sensor- not at fault. 4th final thermostat 🤗🤗 at last! Enjoyed your vids pal. Being truthful like the item you got helps us no end. I replaced the water pump a bit ago. 👍👍
great news, glad you got it sorted! Yes can be a few goes on these since there isn't a definitive fix or codes you can pull to know for sure.
Terribly....good, well done on another piece of great content 👍
Left and right is always determined when sat in the car so the left-hand side would be the passenger side and the right-hand side would be the driver's side and also when draining the system never try and drain from the tap on the rad because if it cracks and leaks its new rad time especially on old cars when most of the plastic is old and brittle.
Thanks. Great video, explained well and demonstrated well.
hi Andy Great video. What i would do is when you are using a tool like a socket etc let us know in the video the size. that would help us real newbies. thanks mate
Me and my lad are going to attempt this at the w/e as his corsa, same engine, it is throwing the same error code, we changed the temp sensor on the radiator but no luck. Fingers crossed.
Just watched you're vid,am in the middle of same thing as you lol sorting coolant out,also took radiator off wifes corsa ecoflex 1.0 am.i right in thinking you put top in first and gently lift bottom to clip in back in as this is how I took old ead off had to prey at each corner and it came off as there isn't anything like clips at to holding in thanks,good vid 👍👍
Just had this with my car changed the 2 temperature sensors fan was still on. Then changed the resistor. Fan was still on. Bought a new thermostat comes complete with housing unit £17.89 of eBay stuck that in myself pure easy 3 bolts. Seems to have done the trick. My fans off. Warning light is off car running like a dream. You also have to top up coolant so buy 2-3 litres as you lose almost all of it when changing the thermostat. X
didn't see you turn your heater on hot when you started the car ... that's why your water wasn't circulating around the system properly. But I'm sure you turned them on when you went for your drive ... which solved it for you!
Greetings!.Will this spare part number be the same for the Corsa 1.4? thx!
I hope you can help me, but I have a x reg corsa b that is leaking coolant via two bolts at the bottom of the engine by the drivers side wheel. If I tighten the bolt and it doesn't stop leaking, where do I go from there? Also I don't suppose you know what those two downwards facing, torque head bolts, are called do you? Would be helpful for torque settings. Thanks.
What is the function of the sensor adjacent to the thermostat housing for ?
Mine has a slight oil leak when I feel it at the bottom,I don't know if it's a seal or gasket at fault,but I get a small drip or two on the garage floor from there sometimes.?
It doesn't appear to be related to the rocker cover,it's just a niggling thing that annoys me because it runs down & around the engine sump.
Thanks for the video,thumbs up.
Hi, that is the oil pressure sensor that does often leak slightly. You can buy them cheaply but beware, they are soft metal and can snap if too much force applied.
I think I did a video on replacing it if you search the channel
@@junkendriven Thanks,will check it out.
My sensor is above & to the left of the oil pressure switch above the thermosat housing.
Hi there,
I have the same problem and I'm wondering is it worth getting a new expansion tank or used one since I don't drive the car that much anyway because maybe in the future I might replace it with a brand new one. Can I replace it myself and do I have to be really careful to remove the retaining clips from the other pipe. Also I don't know if it's worth replace because I have checked the antifreeze since I have not topped it up a lot and it seems fine to me. Should I replace it anyway just to be safe. And also the fan is blowing could this be the issue. Cause when I top up the antifreeze it runs out as soon as I drive off and gets to a boiling point. Please let me know as soon as possible please.
Thanks
Wie hoch ist die Temperatur am Crusa Day 2012?
Can you list the tool which used to replace thermostat
Think I have a new and faulty thermo. A Mahle. Temp to get it to open is 103. I cannot test it boiling water home. Struggling. My idea how test one. Thanks Dan
It will be a temp sensor on the distribution housing .
Hola buenas tardes mi corsa le pasa lo de tener un manguito caliente y otro frio,pero el termostato es nuevo....puede ser del sensor de temperatura??
What was your problem mate you have change the thermostat????
Its NOT a temp sensor on the thermostat housing mate. It a heater that allows the ecu to have better control of the thermostat opening.
Ahh, good info thanks for contributing
I have a problem with my 1.2 corsa d 2008, my coolant has some particles of dirt and the expansion tank has like sludge around the tank? What does this mean and what would the problem be?
@@junkendriven amazing video; neighbours kid just bought a 64 plate vaxhaull corsa and the water coolant tank is overflowing and streaming. Or this normal or is due to a thermostat fault also ?
Hi
Any advice please Iv got a 2013 1.4 petrol corsa it lets out some steam from the over flow pipe on the coolant resovior is this normal
crack in res I had too, just bought new one don't bother gluing the holes.
Why did you drain the radiator
Hi what is a working temp of this motor? becous my working at 104-109 and your?
Fan kicks in around 105 and can go up to 110-111 before the temperature falls back to around 103. Unless my radiator is slightly clogged.
Hi. I wonder if you could please help me. I have opel corsa D (2010, petrol, A12XEL engine) and the problem is that the coolant boils. I'v changed thermostat, coolant (also unblocked the system and pipes using special liquid) and nothing helped. I know that thermostat doesn't open. The hose right after thermostat is always cold. The water pumps seems to work (during this summer I've been driving without thermostat - had only the boxing - the coolant didn't boil and mentioned hose was warm). Can it be, that thermostat in this specific car opens (and closes) electronically (not only mechanically)? It would mean that I have some issue with car software or temperature measurement. Is there a possibility to unplug some pin and make thermostat open mechanically? Maybe you would have some tips, what should I check? What could cause the problem. Thanks!
Hello. These thermostat are not opened electronically, they are controlled by the temperature of the coolant aka antifreeze. Now Corsas thermostats run pretty hot , about 107 degrees before they open. Inside the Corsa on the dash you can get up the ' hidden menu' that tells you the coolant temperature (type in on UA-cam Corsa D hidden menu' - but basically you have to turn car on - press and hold the button on the right steering wheel stalk 4 times - wait for the menu to change on dash - then press the button another 5 times.) This number should get to 107 degrees and radiator fan turn on at aroun 109 - 110c. Let it get to 107 a few times, you should feel the bottom radiator hose get hot, if I doesn't then you lost likely have a failed thermostat. My hose was staying cold like yours but I had to just wait a few times as the thermostat STARTS to open at 107c but the the car cools it back down quickly as the fan turns on at 109c. So just let the car do it a few times
@@evieemaya88 First, thank you for the response. Somewhere I read that thermostat should start opening at about 95c (fully open when about 107c) and the fan turn on at a bit higher temperature as last. Running temperature like107c is pretty hot, yes. But during the summer (outside temp. 20c and more) I had almost 117c very quick and fan was running. Now, when outside is about 0c I have coolant 107c. This idea of electronically control of thermostat was suggested by my mechanic (the software/driver issue). Thermostat was changed and tested. What's more, the coolant boils when it reaches 107c. The coolant should have 137c boiling temperature. So maybe there is too low pressure in the cooling system? Or the coolant temperature sensor is false?
@@raimus2 No a problem :-). What happened with me was my water pumped had failed, coolant starting leaking from there. As preventative maintenance I also decided to change thermostat, even though nothing was wrong with my original OEM one. Upon refitting, I tested both thermostat stats old and new in cooking oil and my readings for them opening was about 107c, I was using a digital thermometer and laser themrmometer to check this. (bear in mind who know how accurate they were - but point was they both were reading around the same before thermostat opened up). It wasnt connected electronically then, just opened up at the desired temp. Now I have read to that they open at 90c, 95c, 105c and so on and this is why for so long i was back and forth with my car, maybe they vary on models, mine being a 1.2 sxi 63 plate. I did a whole write on this on the Corsa D UK forum , and Vauxhall Owners Network forum and the corsa.co.uk forum (which you may want to join to get more help) as It can drive you alittle mad. My point is when tested manually they open as they should when reached there specific temp range. Now what also could be an issue is a faulty coolant temp sensor , becuase if that is reading wrong and tell your car it is 117c but really it is 90c say, the thermostat wont open but the raidator fan will kick in. I would suggested joining these forums and speaking with other corsa owners who may experience same issues.
If the coolant is boiling either the thermostat is faulty and stuck in the closed position or your coolant pump is not working. Check both and replace.
@@kirwanjohn101 i have replaced the water pump and the thermostat,. But it's still boiling in the coolant reservior...
I jave corsa 2012 model temperature red light come on what i do ? Shall i change thermostat?
Hi did the issue get solved after changing the thermostat?
my vauxhall corsa petrol we tested headgasket and it was fine, water is boiling, we changed thermostat, water pump and the radiator... water is still going up to 110 degrees and the fan kicks in at 110 degrees. Any advice ?
Have you fix this??? same issue I’m having at the mo
@@clarknicolas6780 it has been sorted somehow, we changed radiator, temperature sensors, water pump, thermostat, and now the temperature staying at 103 that's how this stupid car been built, it goes to 108 degrees on idle... nothing more we can do
Merhaba , fan sensörü değiştirin. Mesala. 85,90 lik fan sensörü takın , sorun kesin çözülür. Ben Opel Corsa d 2011 1.4 benzin öyle yaptım.
I'm not sure what's that noise, but can be pcv valve...
1) Buy new! Don't glue the old one! There is pressure!!!!! 2) coolant temperature sensor is in that housing, near the gearbox!!
is this Behreez's car
Hi Nathan, yep it's the one you saw serviced by my daughter Behreez. Don't worry, it's not her maintenance!
The cars a 2011 and at 70,000 miles so it's getting on!
does Behreez drive just out of interest@@junkendriven
@@nathanreid2974 no
Anybody tell me the correct water pump for the a12xer engine, thanks.
In my case it was water pump, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
in some pump is some plastic beside water pump propeller and it's broken, so pump work but no effect, only turn water inside water pump house.
New replacement pump was different design all aluminium without stupid plastic distance inside,
with mirror, lamp can be checked through dismounted thermostat hole, but you need to know what to see !
Hi, yes we ended up with another failure which was the waterpump and it's in this video: ua-cam.com/video/9NnXiYml-e0/v-deo.htmlsi=Ud2_XPmU4UwfPMCs
Good idea on checking inside with a mirror/lamp/camera to see the pump.
Yea!
I don't waste time draining the water, just remove the pipe and the water drains itself and only drains what needs to
