DIY - 2014 Opel Corsa D 1.4: Change the drive belt and tensioner

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 7 січ 2023
  • Our little Corsa was 3 years overdue for having its drive belt (serpentine or accessory belt) changed. Given the age, we decided to also change the tensioner - which proved to be a good idea, since the tensioner pulley bearing was on its way out. This job must be done with extra care, since it requires the removal of the right-side engine mount and bracket in order to make the belt and tensioner more accessible.
    The OE part numbers are as follows:
    - Tensioner: GM 1340267 / 55565236
    - Drive belt: GM 1340017 / 55562422

    I'm on this topic now. The quote I received directly in Rüsselsheim from Opel is 700€ in 2024. Thanks for your video !!!

    Thanks, another great video. Other videos I've looked at on this subject tend to gloss over the detail of having to jack the engine up and down to get the long bolts out. You demonstrate exactly what needs to be done.

    Brilliant video, very informative and helpful.
    My sons 1.2 Corsa C Twinport recently had a shredded fanbelt/serpentine belt caused by a failed tensioner that exploded but luckily hasnt seemed to cause any other damage.
    Have watched a few UA-cam videos and yours is the best so far.

      You're welcome! The part numbers for the belt and tensioner are in the video's description. For the actual tools please go through the video, as I've described each tool and bit size the first time I needed to use it and I don't recall the full list from the top of my head.

    Great video! One question, I have a 2011 corsa with 1.2 XER engine and I would ask to you if tightening torques for the engine mount are the same as the 1.4 engine? Thanks!

    • @TheMissingBolt
      @TheMissingBolt  Рік тому +1

      Hello! Yes, the tightening torques and angles for both mounts are the same for the 1.2 and 1.4 engines (as per the Haynes manual).

    • @TheMissingBolt
      @TheMissingBolt  Місяць тому +1

      When the AC turns on, its clutch engages and places further resistance on the belt. It's best to check with a local mechanic, but keep in mind that it's normal for an AC compressor that's engaged to make noise (up to a certain limit).

      I don't know what engine you have, so I can't give you the exact details unfortunately. I'll make a video about how to change the alternator if mine ever fails, but so far it's still going strong. I found some technical documentation online which might help: workshop-manuals.com/vauxhall/corsa-d/j__engine_and_engine_aggregates/engine_electrics/alternator/repair_instructions/alternator_remove_and_install/

    Sunt problematice corsele astea la sistemul de racire, pompa de apa nu tine mai mult de max 90-100k si cea originala din fabrica, flansa distribuitoare de lichid de racire de pe chiuloasa este de plastic si crapa plus garnitura de la ea se intareste si pierzi antigel pe acolo , capacul vasului de expansiune cedeaza, nu mai tine presiunea pana la 1.4bari, vas de expansiune cedeaza si el pe dedesubt, furtunele de apa cedeaza si ele, pur si simplu se dezintegreaza pe interior, cu asta ma confrunt la un opel corsa d din 2012 pe benzina😢

      Eu o monitorizez pe a noastra lunar, mai ales pe partea de pierderi de fluide. Am ajuns pe la 122K km acum si inca nu am vreo problema pe partea de circuit de racire. Dar probabil ca undeva la anul o sa ma apuc sa schimb niste componente preventiv, inclusiv pompa de apa si termostatul.
