Thanks for this. You just saved me money. It was an straightforward fix. Leaking stopped and warning light turned off.
Thanks guys. My son just phoned me with his chin on the floor dreading a big repair bill and with your help the repair will cost less than a fiver. This is great that you share your knowledge in this way. These fixes are only simple if you know what to do. Top job!
Thanks for an awesome Comment! Comments like this make it worth putting videos on UA-cam.
Thank you. My switch was pissing oil all over the engine. I changed this myself in five minutes. Sprayed the engine with degreaser. Nice and clean now. All for less than a tenner. Vauxhall wanted over £100. Independent wanted £60. Changing it even stopped that annoying 'inspection' flashing on the dashboard. Good vid, thank you.
Wish I'd seen this video back in January. Had an oil leak then and my mechanic replaced the switch - £60. Same thing happened last month - £60 again. After watching this I went to a car parts shop, bought an oil pressure switch for the sum of £4.99 for next time it happens! Thanks for uploading this - all other tips welcome. I refuse to be a victim of car mechanics ever again - and save myself a small fortune in the process.
Got a quote for £99.40 for this doing! 2 hours labour at £70! You just saved me about £90 thankyou :)
Kyle Lumb your welcome!
Just been quoted £176 to have thus job done including a flush too , gonna do it myself , thanks for uploading
Cheers bud, 8 years later and still saving me a hefty garage bill
thanks for the vid saved me going to garage , i lost a lot of oil though about a 1.5 litre top up.
+Nelio Lourenco Thanks for the comment!
Nice and informative video, for clumsy folks like me. Thanks.
The little green rubber bit - should that always stay on the cable end? When removing mine, the green bit stays int he sensor (engine side). I can get it out though.
It seems to come loose when driving which then gives oil light at idle.
I need to do this, this video was very helpful thanks
Thanks for the video
I'm impressed with where the switch and filter were located - so easy to get to - not like my fiat
Great video, a quick question i do have though. This has been replaced on the car but the oil is still coming out the oil pressure sensor, What would i have to do now?
Hi did you find out ?
Thanks boys, will be doing this tomorrow 👍
Great video! I've replaced the oil switch on my Corsa. When I plug the cap back onto the switch the green plug is missing so the connection is secure but not oil tight. I've been all over to get a replacement but no luck and Vauxhall say it is not a part they supply! In this situation what would you do? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Looks like the same engine found in 1.4 Astra h Z14XEP. Is this a corsa c or a d?
may look similar, but again this is a 1.2 from a Corsa C (proberly same engine in the older D's though)
The engine (Astra H 1.4 MK5) low pressure light turns on intermittently (especially during low speed) then turning on/off like disco lights only to go out at high speed.
Do you think its a sensor issue, please?
hi I just got a vuaxhall Corsa 08 1.4 74000mile the oil light comes on and off it it drops below a certain speed. is this normal or shoukd I get it looked at? thanks
just done this on the wifes 1.2 it tightening but wont go any tighter just turns it will loosen but wont tighten it stays tight but wont go any tighter any ideas please
Worked a treat, thanks .
Wish I had seen this before putting my car into the garage!
Thank you. Helped a lot.
Does bad head gasket makes oil light on ?
Cheers lads! great help!
Wished I had seen this before the car went into the garage. Oil pressure switched changed at the garage. However concern the leaked oil has spread up some wiring. Say needs replacing some sort of capillary action and not advise to drive. In lay mans terms can anyone help on what this means. Thanks
What is the wire called that connects to the oil pressure switch? mine is broken.
You guys rock thank you
What is the pressure in bars?
Where is the best place to buy the new switch?
請問:有換變速箱oil的教學嗎??謝謝
My Corsa sprang the classic oil leak last night. Luckily I had the spare one to hand and changed it today. Only thing is it's still leaking, though not as much. Any advice you could give me please?
Hi. Make sure you have used the washer.
Hi. Yes, I used the washer. Should I tighten it a little more perhaps?
Sunhillow1 yes. Just nip it up a bit. See if it leaks. Did u clean up the area of old oil before putting the switch in?
Mine sits on the Gearbox is it possible?
I've overfilled my Corsa C with oil and I need to drain it. I know there's a bolt on sump on the bottom from your other cracking video, but if I can't get at it, will the excess oil drain out through the pressure switch if I loosen the bolt all the way off? Not bothered if it makes the engine a bit oily. CHeers
Hi. I guess it depends how much you had filled it. Normally you wouldnt get much.
Do you need to drain the oil before replacing the switch. Cheers
Nope. As the switch it on the top of the engine. There will be a few drops from it that's about it.
hey i bought a genuine oil pressure switch from vauxhall for my 1.2 sxi but its leaking slightly from the wiring connector not the nut bit... would this be the switch or plug bit? only bought it Saturday HELP!!
Did you find out an answer from this because mine is doing the same
Hi ,is the same side for oil pressure switch in vauxhall agila 1.2 2007??
Wouldn't know without looking, but im pretty sure it would be same/similar.
Excellent video matey - very helpful, thank you! ;o))))
Ps Middx thank you for watching!
YW, keep up the good work!!! This sorted my motor out! Thanks again!!
your welcome
My Agila is leaking badly the engine looks the same but there is defiantly no oil pressure switch or wire there.. help lol
Please make a video how to change brake pads on astra vxr
We have 2 videos done on a 1.9 cdti, check our season 1 videos, they are very similar to the vxr, please join our drivers club if you get stuck.
hi, thanks for the video. My Corsa D (same engine) all of a sudden started to leak oil, I suspect it is this same issue. Did your leak start suddenly or was it gradual?
Thanks
It can be both. So have a look.
@@bluudysgarage My mechanic just called to confirm it was the oil switch. It happened all of a sudden, there was an oil puddle under my car when I went to pick it up after work, but my house's parking lot was clean. Weird.
@@ImNotADeeJay cheap fix I guess. Only a few quid for the part.
@@bluudysgarage the shop charged 98 euro for the new switch, a new ribbed belt, cleaning the mess and labor. I could have done it by myself, but I wasn't sure where the leak was coming from and I also was really in a hurry to get the car running.
@@ImNotADeeJay not terrible I guess.
Having this problem on the same model Corsa, would an oil pressure switch from a 1.2 fit a 1.0l ?
In not sure. But they looks the same to me.
Is it normal for the oil to leak out of the switch? / What does it mean if it does?
You need a new switch. Shouldnt leak.
Do you know how to change oil pressure switch on a Mark 4 Astra 1.7cdti?
GAMERZ BOI off top of my head no. But imagen it's similar.

Improve on your video skills. Informative though 👍
Madi Brown I like to think I have done. This video was over 3 years ago. Thanks for watching
Hey guys, I have a leaky switch at the moment and went to change it, but the one currently in my vehicle is a 22MM nut not 24MM and only has a 10mm thread not 13mm, do you have any advise?
