- This is a quick video on my sister in-laws vauxhall corsa d, her car had been struggling to start and has a misfire. after having a look and listen it was decided that the coil pack was faulty (apparently common fault for the corsa d). so i decided to do a video on how quick and simple it is to do this your self.
thanks for watching and please like, comment and subscribe .

just done this fix on my corsa saved me £200 from vauxhall
It's exactly why I did it for my sister in-law I don't know how any main dealer can justify their prices considering how quick it is to do
5:25 u forgot to grab the torx bit
Lol 😁 the funny thing is that I only realised after I had packed all the tools away and couldn't find the torx bit. And after watching the video myself it bugs me seeing it there lol well spotted though
MO FPV I was about to comment the same thing 😂
You have left the torx bit on the coil pack pin
Excellent video very informative
Thanks 👍
Replaced spark plugs today on my 2009 corsa. Was juddering and running rough at idle. It now runs sweet.
Sweet nice to hear you got yours sorted
Great video, helped me out when i was having a misfire on cylinder 4, turned out to be a compromised coil pack spring accompanied by a lot of dirt on the inside.
No problem at all glad it helped you out.
Compromised, yeah mine was rusty and fucked as well
Good job. A little tip I always do when screwing in new plugs in deep cylinder Heads is to use a bit of old fuel hose ...you get a positive feel and no chance of cross threading. 👍🏻
That's a very good tip thanks for sharing, I will give that a go when I change the plugs on my car.
Heres another tip
Yep, i took coil pack off had a quick look at tbe top of all plug tops and also thought 'oh aye i can see the whole plug and decide aye, better days. Although ahhhh not to bad. I new the clip on coil pack needed a screwdriver as well, but used me finger
You left the Torgues bit in the bolt on top of the coilpack when you put the plastic cover back on
Judging by the different colours on the spark plugs you need to take out the fuel injecter rail and clean the injecters, then check for correct spray pattern.
Ha ha ye I realised when I was packing my tools away, great bit of advice on the spray pattern by the way. Thanks for watching
Hi, my emission light has came on in my 2009 1.2 Corsa and I can feel the car juddering and the accelerator feels as if its holding back, I’ve been to halfords and they said it would be expensive. Does it sound like my problem fits this videos criterion, because I’m thinking of fixing it up myself to save money but don’t know if my problem is the same as this video
My advice would be to get it plugged in and diagnosed then you will know exactly what is wrong
Hi bro, can you tell me what is the correct model of plug for my Corsa D 2015 1.4?
Sorry buddy I can't, I got the part from a a company that searched it based on the registration number, if your in the UK try euro car parts website
Thank you for the video, so I have just changed the spark plugs and coil pack but the car is still juddering and the ignition light is flashing, any advice please?
Where the plugs gapped correctly? And have you had it plugged in for diagnostics? Could be blocked fule filter or air filter, when was it last serviced?
You see that circle on the rocket cover, inside it ( take cover off ) theres a membrane valve. Check it
What is a rocket cover?
kalipershad typo..was meant to say rocker cover. Its wear you fill the oil, the whole black section is ( well years ago ) called the rocker cover
Thank you Steve Brown. I am also having a problem with my engine light staying on and the car judders when accelerating. So you say I should check under the rocker cover for a membrane?
Nicely done, but you left the torx bit in the bolt...lol
Thanks and ye I no lucky I realised when I was packing up my tools
Cylinder 4 misfire should I replace just one spark plug or all ?
All 4 buddy as you will have it all apart makes more sense than having to take it all apart again to do the other 3.
How do you get that clip off the coil pack? I can’t get it off, just feels like the wires are going to snap
You have to press the release tab and it will slid out easy then
I find this can be difficult. If u get a flathead screwdriver and pull back just just the orange little tab. It will Unlock it and then press down on the whole part and your sorted.
mine has a hesitation at idle took the plastic cover off, and can see a spark from the plug beside the oil filler cap ?
Sounds like it's arking through the side of the coil pack or insulation to the spark plug
@@billysworkshop. arking ? what does that mean
To put it simply the spark isn't going through the spark plug like it should be, its found a shorter easier way to ground / earth. It isn't meant to do that obviously, check that the coil pack is properly secured in place but check while the engine is off otherwise you will get a shock. if it is secured properly, look to see if it's visually cracked / broken if so it needs to be replaced with a new or second hand coil pack and at the same time you may as well change the spark plugs, hope this helps buddy
@@billysworkshop. garage replaced coil pack today , so fingers crossed no more problems.
Fingers crossed for you bud
Is there a big difference in coil packs? I find them on the internet from €50, till more then €200.
Not really the price difference will be after market (€50) and genuine (200) the one I fitted was a after market item and worked fine hope this helps
Do not buy from from china or from anyone who buys from china as the coilpacks contain semiconducters and chinese semiconducters are poor quality. Buy a new one not second hand, unless you know the history of it.
Hello, what size of spark plug tool do you use?
I honestly don't know, the sparkplug tool was bought for a different vehicle (PT cruiser) and doesn't have a size on it but it fits a mk1 focus spark plug and the Corsa spark plug in this video. 17mm comes to mind but honestly can't say for sure sorry I can't help you any further.
Nice clear vid.is the coil pack the same as the e model please???
Firstly thanks I tried to make it as simple and clear as possible, I'm not 100% sure but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same style coil pack have you searched for the coil pack on Google to see if it's the same?
@@billysworkshop. thanks for the quick reply paul.thats a big help just seeing how to remove and refit.once again thanks G
No problem at all, if you're in the UK you can use euro car parts Web site to see if it's the same coil pack by manually searching for a coil pack for the D model and the E model and seeing if the part numbers are the same.
Should use a torque wrench. Should tighten the plugs up to the correct torque setting.
Agreed I should have and should have also used an anti seize on the threads as well but you do get a feel for how tight they should be but nothing is better than a torque wrench. 😉
I don't see the need for one personally, if you just turn it enough to crush the washer then one quarter turn then that is more than enough, wasn't any torque wrenches in the old days.
Agreed with that they didn't have them in the old days and I have never had a spark plug come lose but the correct way would have been to use a torque wrench as modern engines aren't like the old ones lol
I just bought a 16 plate corsa with 30000 miles on clock and 30 mns later after driving out of showroom my car broke down and was taken back to dealer who then explained that it's the coil pack that's done in, but I was also told by a friend that coil packs shouldn't pack in as early as 30000 miles, is that true ?
It's definitely possible for any component to fail at any point, vauxhalls of resent times are prone to these sorts of issues and often recall models for bits to be changed and returned to the owners free of charge, coil packs aren't one of those things but are common as hell to fail at any point I'm afraid, on a bright note at least the garage has to put a brand new one on for you 😉
I had a brand new Vauxhall adam, which is a Corsa D. And the coil pack failed from brand new at 13k. So anything is possible
Thanks for reply
I’ve a corsa b 1.2 16v and it’s driving with hesitation, engine management light comes on when i accelerate up over 2.5k revs and coughs a bit gives no power when mynfoots down at times, soon as I let of the accelerator or ease off the light goes off
She idles perfectly quiet I’m stumped....
What could it be .. bad sparks, bad coil? I’m a little in the dark
Could be a bad cam position sensor by the sound of it but the fastest way is to plug it in and have it checked, there also may be a way to get the fault code with out plugging in not 100% sure if vauxhalls do this like others but try it, press and hold the milage trip button then turn the ignition on and keep holding the milage trip button and after 10 seconds all the dials should go crazy then release the milage trip button and press a few times until you get a P code for example P1234 you can then Google that code to find the fault, but like I said not all makes do that worth trying though. If you need any more help just ask 😊
Thanks Paul il let you know how I get on 👍🏽
Think it’s misfiring it sounds like it anyway couldn’t get the dash to flash no lights
Sounds like vauxhalls don't have that feature. I would check the condition of the plugs and h t leads(I think corsa b's have leads not coil over plug ) and if they look bad change them and compare them against a used spark plug chart (Google it) and it will help point you in the direction of what is going on but still get it plugged in at a good garage, again if you need more help just ask 👍
It’s an x reg it’s got an over head coil pack like the one you have in the video, il have to dig out some tools and see if I can get the sparks out to the condition
Any recommendations of where to get a coil pack from?
If you are in the UK eurocarparts, buy when they have a weekend deal on you'll get it alot cheaper
Thanks Paul. Yep in UK - what about carparts4less?
I've never heard of them to be honest but if they do deals and stuff like eurocarparts then they will be just as good cos for what it is it's quite expensive.
CarParts4Less are cheaper (and are owned by Eurocarparts). Should be around £70
@@syeddilwarali5341 car part for less are the exact same company and usually cheaper. Only downside is you cannot return to store you have to send back. But they are cheaper. But euro car parts are a little more but you have stores ad free same day delivery if over £10
My mechanic said I put in the wrong plugs because they weren't iridium ones. Do they have to be iridium?? I thought the only difference to normal plugs is that they last longer
If its what is recommended by the manufacturer then yes you should have used iridium but it is what they recommended you use it's not what you have to use there are loads of plugs that will fit and work fine normal type iridium 2 spark gaps per plug 3 spark gaps per plug and then there is the temperature range of the plug, basically if you got them from a place like euro car parts you put your registration in and it gives you a list of what ones will fit and if that is what you have done don't worry about it at all just carry on with the plugs 👍
@@billysworkshop. thanks I think my mechanic is just pissed off because im doing the job myself. I'm not paying 270 pound for a new coil pack and plugs fitted when I can do it myself for around 100-130 pounds.
That probably has a lot to do with it, and let's be honest it's not difficult to do
@@billysworkshop. done it this morning aftermarket coil pack and 4 plugs. Running sweet now thanks
Nice one, no miss fire?
my corsa 1.2 has a slight hesitation at idle and is now starting to judder slightly in second gear while accelerating away 2014 only done 29000 miles , i have heard the coil pack is rubbish and is a fault with them
when was it last serviced? Ye it seems to be a very common problem with that style of coil pack
@@billysworkshop. just bought it 2 months ago its has 2 stamps from vx dealer then just an oil change when i bought it from car sales dealer, so it will still have original plugs i guess
That's the first place to look if you have a bad spark plug /plugs will definitely cause a stuttering symptom / hesitation plus plugs are cheaper to change than the coil pack and check the air filter also if it's really dirty that can also cause a hesitation
@@billysworkshop. thanks,
No problem fingers crossed you get it sorted
5:33 ...Leaves his “torque bit” on the top of the bolt above the coil pack!!! 🤦🏼♂️
The funny thing was I noticed when playing the video back and had to take it apart again to get it back 🤦♂️😆thanks for watching and commenting 👍
what spark plug do i need to buy?
I'm really sorry but it was over 5 years ago, if you are in the UK you can use Halfords or euro car parts or similar website
@@billysworkshop. thanks for replying
@watsonwatson7081 no worries at sorry I can't help you further
What size is the spanner?
It's been a while since I did this video are you meaning the spark plug socket?
16mm mate
Thanks for that 👍
Nice video! My corsa has been misfiring but it only after the engine has warmed up say after 5miles then it starts misfiring.
Sounds like coil pack or plugs are going bad when they are hot
Wow thanks for answering 😎
No problem at all but before you spend money on parts get it plugged in and see if there are any codes for miss fire
Yeah my cheap elm32 mentions cylinder 4 miss fires
Just for info Vauxhall quote £200 for coil pack and spark plugs + £40 for the diagnostic!
You left your docket adaptor under the cover.
Yep I realized when I was packing my tools away and had to take it all apart 🤦
Torksey left behind
No luck with mine. Everyone day change sparks and coilpack. Still nothing
Have you had it checked for any fault codes?
@@billysworkshop. yes. They said cylinder 1 misfire. So thinking it might be a bad fuel injector. And it's hard to get too sadly. So might have to have a garage to get them replaced
That would be my next thing to investigate it may just need cleaning, there are some videos of how to clean injectors at home if you feel up to the job.
@@billysworkshop. I love too but sadly it's not a big car like yours over in America. I got Corsa vxr. Have to remove wiper blades and trim to get up and around the back of the engine to get the entire fuel injectors out
@@khuramnasar1905 I'm in the UK as well lol
Genuinely my coil pack has went twice in less than a year
It just shows that things are not built to last anymore, not like the classic cars that would just keep going
@@billysworkshop. yeah im just frustrated because of lockdown ive not been ablkee to get out due to having shit lungs and my cars sat in the driveway and now when i start it cylinder 2 is missfiring got a mechanic friend coming to look at it on monday i want to check fuel injector and head gasket before replaceing another coil pack
I understand sounds really frustrating, I would disconnect the injectors, take the coil pack off(leaving it plugged in still) , spark plugs out and put them in the coil pack and earth the plugs on the cylinder head and wind it over you be able to see if any plugs are not sparking. Hope that helps you diagnose your fault
@@billysworkshop. ive replaced the spark plugs today but thank you for the help ill give you and update once i get it fixed
Fingers crossed for you 👍
Vaxahll corsa D is a NIGHTMARE of a car
Personally I don't like modern vauxhall cars in general I find them to be built half assed, this was my sister in laws I wouldn't own a modern 1 if I was paid to!
Paul Holman I know such a shame! They used to be so good up till 2005
Completely agree, possibly even up to 2000 best one I drove was a cavliar 4 wheel drive my god that thing shifted it would give most top end sports cars a run for there money, and possibly still could today, but it's not just vauxhall to be fair most modern car makers only care about mass production and cheap as possible, there not built like they used to be
Paul Holman Volkswagen has really gone down ford are superior mazda are good however I think Kia and Hayundi have been nailing it lately
@@Bates.Eral1 agree with vw the only good thing that they make at the moment is the commercial range but the funny thing about that is its actually Mercedes Ford became good after they bought volvo and got all the technology that make volvo great and subsequently sold them to a Chinese company (the new xc90 is a box on wheels and they love that style over there) mazda are to be fair a good around car cheap to run and maintain and quiet reliable the only thing negative I can say in my experience about kia and hayundi is that if/when they go wrong it's catastrophic and that could explain why they have such a long warranty period
My garage is charging £350 some corroded coils. I’m getting fucked over aren’t I?
Have a look how much a new coil is and how much they are charging to change it and now you've seen how long it takes to change it you can decide if you're being screwed
Paul Holman Found the same brand you’ve used here, haas, on Eurocarparts for £90. I guess they have a high mark up on expensive parts to cover other costs as it’s an Arnold Clark Vauxhall garage. Genuine Vauxhall parts can be notoriously expensive for what they are too. How is this car running now if you don’t mind me asking?
That's exactly where I got it from and if you get it when they have one of there deals on it's even less, I know vauxhall have a thing you join and it gets you parts and labour cheaper but still it's an easy job plug and play, the car runs great still it was my sister in-laws car and she has just sold it to the local takeaway where she works as a delivery vehicle and is still running great
Paul Holman nice one, think I’ll go ahead and change it myself and save like 250 quid. Do you know if any T30 screwdriver will do the job? Nice to find a video that gets straight to the point without any waffling on, cheers for the help
Honestly it's that easy to change and in theory ye you could do it with a t30 screw driver just depends on your grip (they weren't stupid tight) and to be honest you may as well do the plugs if you feel confident enough, and thanks I tried to make it to the point 10min top's to do the job so no need for a video to be 20min long although it took me longer to do the job as I was filming it and moving the camera but still, if you get stuck or anything give me a shout again
ive got a corsa d 1.2 2008 it is the worst car ever i hate it
😂 I honestly don't blame you for hating it
i was told that the spark plugs need to be tightend with a specific torque. Does it matter for the corsa?
I personally have never torqued spark plugs (probably should) I just "know" when they are tight enough but my recommendation is if you are un sure then torque them to the specification, the reason I have never done them to spec is the amount of spark plugs I've tried to undo and broken because they where to tight (to spec from factory) I've not wanted the next person to change them have the same problem
