I truly appreciate this video, thank you. My car desperately needs a new oil filter and oil change and I've never attempted it before. Mechanics are scary to me with their ability to escalate the cost of work so now I'll do this myself with your help..👍
I don't know how many miles this car has done but I would recommend more frquent oil changes looking at the state of your old filter. i have a 25000 mile meriva and just after a 2000mile oil change the oil pump failed due to metal fatigue a known problem with this kind of timing chain engine. A swine of a job and £800 at the main dealer and thats if you can reuse the timing chain cover plate. Mine was ok a bit scratched due to the failure but salvagable. I have had other manufactures defects with this car including faulty relays made in Portugal coil pack corrosion. and plastic clutch master cylinder failure all down to bad quality parts. I hope yours is ok but be warned. Thanks for the video glad to see you changed the o ring. Regards😎😎😎
Thanks for the useful video! Do you know how tight the drain nut should be? I've got some oil around mine some months after last oil change.. maybe I did not apply enough force while i tightened. Thanks
Я не про замену масла. Ресурс самой коробки 150-200тыс км. Выходит из строя вторичный вал и его подшипник. Есть мысль поменять саму коробку на менее проблемную.
I don't know the exact Torque setting? I know it would be low as I just nip them up. I don't have a manual so I had to go by feel as the information online is a bit vague.
Do these cars have oil pressure sensors. I noticed oil like substance dripping down the block just above the sump plug and was thinking it could be a sensor leak. Does anyone know 1.4T meriva b se?
All cars have oil pressure sensors as far as I know. Google Meriva 1.4 oil pressure sensor to see what they look like and compare to where you oil leak is 👍
@@baconbuttties ah thank you. I had a look around the engine and can't see one. My astra had similar engine and I couldn't locate that one either. An original Corsa I used to own had it sticking out of the front left of the engine block. I searched for the part by my reg and it looks the same just unsure where they are located on the newer ecotech engines.
@@baconbuttties in order to get better efficiency some engines work at higher temperatures such as this engine works at 110 or 120 degrees when normal car works at 90
@@baconbuttties unfortunately despitte the thermometer needle shows 90 in fact the engine is 110 . That is actually one of the reasons why these cars have many gasket leaks. Plastic pieces and gaskets get old very quickly due to temperature..
Thanks for the video I didn't know where the oil filter was, I was about to let the garage do it you saved me a ot of money thanks 😀
👍👍
Thanks for the video - Just to say our meriva required a T40 torx so check first before buying a T45.
That's unusual as I thought the vauxhall drain plugs were all the same size.
Ive just used a T40 torx and it worked fine .

My girlfriend told me she wanted a ring this valentines. So I got her an oil filter for her Meriva, which comes with an O ring.
👍😀
Grazie per il video!

It hadn't done a massive amount of miles between oil changes, about 5000 at the most.
Brilliant video, thank you so much!
Any advice on the best point to place the jack stands? Doesn't seem to have a lot of solid points?
Thank you
I used the jacking point to jack up the car and put the axle stand under the chassis rail.
Thanks for the useful video! Do you know how tight the drain nut should be? I've got some oil around mine some months after last oil change.. maybe I did not apply enough force while i tightened. Thanks
I'm not sur of the torque values but it might be the rubber o ring that's causing it to weep oil.
Hi , thanks for video. Would it be possible to find out the make and brand of the oil filter please?
I used aftermarket oil filter, there is quite a few out there. I will have a look if I can find the invoice later
Really very helpful video. Thank you so much
Thanks👍🏼
your voice sounds just like someone from the National Geografic, you should talk over documentaries, nice voice :)
Well that is a very nice thing to say , lets hope they hear it and give me a job.
Thanks

Do these cars not have a engine under tray on them ?
@@aronwhite8862 the 1.4 petrol engines don't
Thank you your video was very helpful 😊👍👍👍
Glad it was of some help 👍
You forgot to mention to warm up the Oli for at least 5 min before drain.
I will put it in the description 👍
I just remembered that I forgot to replace the ring after I changed the filter. Will that be an issue?
@@jeroendenny6430 you mean the o ring?
@@baconbuttties yup. The o ring. Should I remove the new filter and put the new o ring?
@@jeroendenny6430 you could possibly damage the filter, if it isn't leaking I would leave it until next time.
@@baconbuttties Thanks for the tips. I would leave it till the next service.
Приветствую мой друг. Коробка передач (gear box если не ошибся) f17 очень проблемная. Как у вас это решают?
Чтобы заменить масло в коробке передач, необходимо снять поддон коробки передач.
Я не про замену масла. Ресурс самой коробки 150-200тыс км. Выходит из строя вторичный вал и его подшипник. Есть мысль поменять саму коробку на менее проблемную.
What year is this car? Any issues yet? Reliability
Year is 2010.. AIrbag module failed and rear door lock
@@baconbuttties We also had the rear door lock fault
@@russiandrivers9986 yes the door lock is a very common problem.
did you forget the rubber ring on the oil plug ?
The o ring was on it

can you tell me where you got the oil from as was going to vauxhall but see your one . cheers Ricky
Was a long time ago when I bought that but any 5 30 fully synthetic oil will do the job
