Watch Marc replace a timing chain kit on a 1.2 vauxhall corsa. These cars are very common to rattle on start up, even more so when on a cold start. A very common issue is the timing chain tensioner not holding sufficient pressure and allows slack in the chain until oil pressure builds to take up the slack. - Авто та транспорт
I dont have a 1.2 corsa I just like watching people build and fix shit
Done my sons timing chain following your video and the car now runs perfect, Anyone unsure if they should try then this video is spot on ... everything as just how he is doing it, Your subscribers count should be way higher than it is ... keep doing these type of videos, just great
Very interesting and well presented. I cant imagine all mechanics take as much care as you seem to. Well done.
Thank you for the positive feedback.
I appreciate it 😁
Funny you should say that I was thinking the very same thing
Great video mate will be doing mine in the next week never done one b4 so and in seeing this video i feel comfortable and confident enough to do it would recommend everyone to watch this
Excellent video, well informed and good advice as well. You deserve more views.
Sick video helps for someone in the industry that isn’t so confident with the bigger timing jobs 👍
Thanks for the comment! timing jobs can always be built up in a technicians head. makes more sense when you can see it being done. thanks for the support!
Thanks mate for a very good tutorial. Got this to do on my daughters 1.4 Corsa D. Thanks for sharing the torque settings as well, hard to find the torque settings. Will be doing the oil and filter change to at the same time. Just subscribed to mate, well done Lance
Followed this video step by step and finished the timing chain job for the first time on my opel corsa D 1.2.
It was never a smooth job but somehow I finished it.
Always use two Jack for lifting the car to be on safe side. and use the wooden stick as he is using in the video.
The most important thing to keep in mind is to use the tools of high quality and you should have backup of everyting. If you failed at one step then you will be stuck. Just be careful in opening and closing of the screws, keep them in order.
Opening of the main support between the body and the engine was really difficult, just follow tthis video steps and you are good to go.
Such a good video and a refresh for my brain on how to do the timing chain
Glad this helped
That was a very good video. I really enjoyed it. Good special notes and ways of doing the job.
My c corsa has a very slight rattle on start. 200.000km so I have to do the chain replacement. Thanks for this video!!
Excellent video, easy to follow. That's likely the next bigger repair required on my Corsa D 1.2. I've read though that it is highly recommended to remove the oil pan for this repair to properly align the timing chain cover.
Yes if you're able to remove the oil pan completely, that would be best. You have to suspend the engine from the top to do this which can get in the way. So be mindful of how you support your engine.
Found it a very well put together video and we'll put across
Fabulous video - nicely filmed and clearly explained - looks like a time consuming and expensive job - hope my chain lasts !! . .
Great video mate well presented too
Well done every stage thoroughly described..
I've always loved this channel, feel it could really take off, very clear and concise with videos. I feel that for you to really take off is to do more in depth videos like this.😁. Also for search SEO you may want to change the title to Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 Timing chain replacement 👍👍👍
Thanks for commenting. Ill be trying harder to put more content out like this. Thanks for the support!
Excellent video. Well done. Keep it up 🥳👍.
nice video and helpfull its nice to see a video from a fellow welshman
good video quality and good explanation. thanks u
Great video, a good job well done 👍
Well done ❤
Very good job !
What a great video!!!! Thank you
Excelente explicación. Felicitaciones!
Great video 👍
👍👍👍 rendben van ! Szép munka 😎
Removing the sump is essential for peace of mind and ensuring there is no debris in the pick up / plastic filter housed in the sump.
Especially if you are using any grinding / buffing disc to clean the water pump gasket sealing face.
Very good video . Just about to do a head gasket on one of these and come here to refresh my memory.
Really clear video and explained very clear .
Keep it up with the same clarity and depth I can see your channel being very popular . Great work
Very clean work .
Lady's and gentlemen this is a mechanic you can trust 👊💪👍
...cool vid chap
Excellent video. Just in process going through the garage that's done mine. £600 pounds 10.000 miles down the line. And now needs replacing yet again. No warranty on what they have done. Lost trust in local garages now. So going to the main dealer with a new price of £1.300 for peace of mind
This is the same situation as me
I overtorqued the bolts as well. I ve seen tensioner bolts that have become loose. I noticed it when changing the chain on a 1.2 12V VAG engine.
Thank you nice video
This engine is absolutely madness, i was thinking on buying one Corsa D , but i will bet my money to an IBIZA 6J with 1.2 Engine also.
Doing this on our agila with the z12xe engine later this week. She’s only done 68k miles on a 2003 engine but the tensioner has gone and a small piece of white plastic has been found under oil cap
My corsa had the timing chain done and ever since it doesn’t start first time always? Mostly it’s 2nd crank of the key.. but my engine shows a ticking noise that speeds up when I’m driving?
30:11 How did you lock the crankshaft while tightening its the bolt?
Hi thank you, how do you prevent the engine from turning when tightening the crankshaft pulley bolt?
Hi . Thanks for the video guide. Do you need to change the sump gasket when doing this job?
Really well explained. Can I ask, is it the same for the 1.0? Thank you
Hi.
Great video.very helpful.
What size are the bolts you use to remove the coil pack.
Good job. But what is the best quality (febi bilstein, BGA, SKF, FAI AutoParts, DAYCO, INA...)? Thanks
Is there a way to do it without using engine hoist. I have my head off currently to do head gasket but found two bent valves so timing issue so changing timing chain. So I was going to support sump, put head back, then take off engine mount to do timing chain and then change sump gasket when timing cover and engine mount is back on. But if I need to take sump off in order to put timing cover back on then I guess I would need to support from the top but I'd rather not as I don't have a hoist so I'd have to get one and I'm doing it outside so it's not ideal. Anyway, any suggestion would be great.
Mine only have a little rattle is it best to get done sooner rather the later?
Great video what do you chare for a timing chain renew on a corsa d 1.2 2008 petrol none a/c thanks
How do you torque the crankshaft bolt without counter holding it with anything?
I’m in the process of doing this to my car followed it exactly when I went to undo the water pump bolts I noticed the the timing tool at the bottom moved and the belt moved a bit is this going to be an issue I removed it and put it in it’s correct position and it don’t budge now is there a way for me to check that I’m not going to damage my engine before I continue?
Amazing. I have a rather more modest aim: in a last attempt to get my 2005 Corsa C to run more than a few seconds Id like to check my chain hasn't jumped, and if it has, to correct it. Do i actually have to do all this?
Got the Swift 09' 1.5 GLX as my first car and its at 80K miles. So going to have to look at getting the chain replaced. RIP.
How much did u pay
@@yusufahmed2883 Didn't end up needing it. Paid for service to change fluids, clean breaks and also filters changed.
Need exhaust welded or backbox replaced, go with the former for now tho.
It is good
so after the timing chain was replaced there was still that diesel sounding noise is this normal as I have the exact same corsa year and 1.2 engine and has the same noise?
Is chain can skip 2 tooth on that engine and don't breake engine ? Is that possible? If you take of cover from top , can you make correct position again of your engine ?
Two questions please what is that sanding tool and what grit. Also you loosened the sump did you change the sump seal
Great video on details with torque specs. Well done .
I am in process of changing head gasket of Hyundai i10 1.2 year 2012 ) Could you please let me know the torque spec for following components:
Head bolts, camshaft caps, timing chain cover , crankshaft pulley bolts and engine mount ( chain side ) . Many thanks
How long does it take to renew head gasket and timing chain?
Hi. I would like to ask a question. I have opel corsa d 1.2 66K km . When car is car 4th gear between 1700 -2000 rpm snd shift to 5th gear a knocking out sound comes from engine. 3rd to 4th is same. But when i use agressivley mean that higher rpm no knocking out sounds comes. Is this how corsa engine works or same thing wrong hsppen in engine
. I changed coil and sparkle
Do you have the link to them spring clip pliers
Cheers
Is this video also good for the 1.2 twinport engine???
What timing chain model did you used ? Inna or SWAG ? Thanks for your answer !
Got one to do do on a corsa e. are they similar
What was engine mount torque?
Mine is rattling badly at high temperature, rattles on startup, how much should I pay for a full chain refit many thanks 2012 corsa d
I had my timing chain done the other day and now it sounds like the car has a turbo. A buzzing sound. Is that normal?
Excellent Video Marc and well detailed throughout.Be interested to know the mileage of the vehicle and whether it's had regular oil changes?Wonder if an engine flush in the early stages of the rattle would have helped the movement of the tensioner to maintain the tension on the chain.Thanks for sharing i enjoy all your uploads.
Thanks for commenting. The vehicle is high mileage at over 100k miles. regular oil changes but due to a blown headgasket, the chain kit along with other components had been replaced around 4 years ago. unfortunately it's mainly down to poor design that the tensioners fail. very common problem.
Mine doesn't make this startup noise but it is 'nailing' whenever I put my foot on the clutch. What could it be? Sometimes the nailing is permanent. I'm a bit clueless. Just bought the 1.2 ecoFLEX 69hp Corsa d a few days ago. Didn't notice it when buying but hope I haven't just wasted 3000€. Car has 124000km and is from 2010.
❤Nice
What happened to the crank bolt torque 🤔😄
Nice video! I have some doubts about the turning of cams in order to put the alignment tool! If you tutn cams May be affect ignition timing?
Turn*
What kind of major sounds do I need to listen for regarding a bad timing chain? Is it just the knocking on start up or that knocking all the time? Thanks if you reply.
The tell tale sign of a bad chain is a heavy rattle on start up.
This noise will usually stop once sufficient oil pressure has built up.
If this is left to worsen, the noise will stay for longer, until the chain has enough slack to jump timing and causing internal engine damage.
Great video and very well explained thank you for taking the time out. Am I missing something or is the cam positions only maintained by the friction clamping action of the sprocket against the cam shaft face held under the bolt pressure. What stops it skidding round out of time ?
I'm just in the process of this task and notice what an appalling design the engine mount is, probably the most difficult thing to remove. I would urge anyone to invest in a long reach 11mm combination spanner before starting this task.
Given you need to slacken the sump bolts, i'm contemplating dropping it off completely and changing that gasket too. Ideal time to wash out all that sump crud. Anyone come across any sump gasket change issues ?
From what I know, the oil pan has no gasket but only high temperature silicone
There would be a proper gasket, you can see one at 12:58
@@robjenkins9450 there is no sump gasket from build.
A very high quality silicone selant is used from build....... like Würth super RTV sealant.
Cleanliness is key when applying and using this sealant.
Its extremely good stuff when used as intended.
@@garymclellan5604There is most definitely a sump gasket, a thick aluminium one.. Anyone attempting to change a timing chain on a Corsa D without lowering the sump will come unstuck down the line. And if you’re going as far as the timing cover you may as well remove the sump and give it a proper clean out, including washing out the pick-up filter. Piping any form of gasket compound around the timing case, water pump or sump could lead to some breaking loose and getting lodged in a vital oil gallery.
my 2012 corsa has a p0017 errode am thinking it could be one of the sensors or the timeing chain needs doing i regulary change oil filters air filters and oil every 10k miles when sat idle their a slight shake and rev indicator sometimes goes up when idle but driving is fine but today the car went into limbo mode and my scann tool is detecting p0017 the camshaft and crankshaft is out of allignment but the issues is either timing chain or one of the sensors. i have checked to best of my ability i dont have a multimetere to check the cableing what would you suggest ?
Hi did you find out what is was as I’m haveing the same code and issue thanks
Is this one Vauxhall Corsa 1.2?
OMG, so many things need to be taken off just to change the timing belt.
I just changed my cylinder head done the cam chain as well horrible job to do so many bolts and that engine mount is a bitch to get out
I’ve timed the cams up and each time one of them twists ever so slightly that after I rotate the engine it doesn’t slot perfectly in again? And this has been making the hunt a bit
I’ve got a Vauxhall corsa and I’d like to know how much iam looking at to get the timing chain fixed???
idk where you are but where i am you're looking at 600/700€ of expenses.
Uk between £600-£700 depending where you get it done
Never it's not that much its about £300 at the most. The parts only cost £45 for the whole timing chain kit and with the timing locking tools about another £15
Where about an are you? I’ve had quotes from so many garages by me and the cheapest was £600!
@@maurocardoso3579 I got it done , they quoted me £350 and the water pump had gone and they replaced it labour free and a service and the total came to £410 happy days, but prior to these guys I went to a different mechanic and he quoted £850 sum are scum bags
Ur so fit
Seven hundred would price for work
