Remove it and make a in depth video tutorial on timing chain/head gasket replacement.
Great content!
THIS!
Hi
Man i so wanted this to happen
When I first discovered your channel. It was the black Corsa you had originally that you made a how to on HIDs and debadge using toffee wheel! I owned a 1.0l Corsa then, I now own a 2.5l V6 Alfa Romeo 156. Times have changed and I still love watching the corsa content! James you're a top lad! 🙌
What I should be doing: Anything other than watching an engine being removed from a car I’ll never own.
What I am doing: watching an engine be removed from a car I’ll never own 😂😂😂
I drive a little newer model.These Corsa that I drive.But they are the same classic economical opel-corsa c 1,3 confore ,,, petrol/: In the 12 years I've been driving it. She never betrayed me on the road. I changed her technical things. Oil, filters, oil and gasoline pumps. Great city car. Cheap to maintain. Thank you for all the useful tips in the clips you make.
Corsa's suffer with condensation so if it hasn't been started for a long while then it will be like that. Will need a flush and fresh oil
In That case mate I'd get rid of it. Once electrical problems always problems. But that's me.
You want to check the timing cover gasket behind the water pump first as there prone to failure, dumps coolant straight into the oil!!!
I can watch RUclips videos of car stuff and it seems that you make things a lot more entertaining than anyone else, can binge watch your videos for days
Nice to see how easy it is to gain good access. May have to do engine mounts on my sons soon.
as a fellow youtuber working on a mondeo st220, its always good to keep as detail in as possible. I always look back at the video once edited and think could i follow it. cheers James
A bit different to see you doing this type of video, I would love to see you carrying on with the removal of the engine James + head gasket + timing chain replacement 👍👍👍
Hey James, funny how things work out, but thought I would share, but I know this car is probably scrap now, but if the reason was, even after replacing the the rear main seal was still leaking after replacement, there is also a 3rd place it leaks from, which again is an engine out job. But it can leak from the gear box side on the 'alloy cradle' aka crank base plate (which holds crank. So if you to do the engine in order of layers working down it goes cylinder head } head gasket }engine block } sealant } CRANK BASE PLATE } sealant } lastly sump. It leaks exactly on that corner which would have been easy to see once the gearbox is seperated. You may have known this but I literally found this out a few days ago from a guy who restorers Vauxhall Corsa C and D for a retirement living. Just thought I would share if it was.something that had your head scratching. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
My Corsa C 1.4 engine broke down yesterday. Now I want to replace the motor myself. Hope this can give me an insight on how to do it.
I prefer these longer videos with have more knowledge for me to learn
Pretty sure this generation of the Corsa used to get condensation in the engine when they done short journeys or weren't started for a while. Makes the oil look like it's mixing with water. A long journey usually sorted it out
So glad the fiesta is making a return
Thanks for putting these vids up,
That gear linkage clip had me stumped there for a while, just quickly re watched the vid while laying under the thing and it all made sense !
thought you did the rear main seal on this car last year when it failed the MOT? they thought it was a hydraulic leak if i remember correctly?
Different corsa
Said the exact same its defo same corsa AV52

Couldve gone back into MOT staright away but i guess you found out something, rusted subframe?
I like these long videos yea bruva. 👍🏼👍🏼
I've changed the engine on the Corsa C that has been featured on my channel so I'm quite familiar with all this. I've also done the head gasket on the same engine. Your video can certainly be treated as a "how-to". I've got another Corsa video coming up even though the car has a new owner.
Do the headgasket mate. Personally it's no interest to me but with these engines people are more likely needing to know how to replace the headgasket than removing the engine lol. I was wondering how long you'd take to get back to your routes. Good job mate
headgasket & timingchain in depth fix will be fine!
Think its been done already lol
Gloves. You forgot to put up a link for the gloves bud.
I'd be interested in the door cards and possibly the bonnet.
Keep up the good work! I've been working on my own Corsa and your vids have been invaluable. 👍
Do a z20let conversion 🙏
Wait what? Corsa videos, miss the corsa videos
Sounds good for people who own a corsa and want to do the head gasket, plus it's not a hard thing to do
I agree i loved your in depth vids. You are a natural at it. I have a corsa so im interested in the full break down. But if decide not to it's ok with me. Your channel is always good to watch. A guy fixing up older cars on his drive. Good stuff to me.
By far the best videos James time and detail on each one 👍
If you hadn’t said that the fiesta was coming back after the corsa’s gone I’d have said yes, do a headgasket and rear main seal, but now I want you to scrap the corsa as is and bring the fez back !!! 👍👍👍
Keep the Vauxhall corsa james and educate the next generation of mechanic's keep up the good work great videos and of course a big fan of the mondeo 👍
Been loving the content recently man keep it up ❤️
mate ive watched many of videos on youtube and that is a sure sign that your head gasket is gone ......it mixed in with the coolant .....thats what you should do in your next video, mix oil and coolant together and compare it with your oil....timing belt , head gasket , crank seal videos now your taking ...cant wait.....
RIP Vauxhall/Opel C Corsa. Just make complete disassembling video and sell or scrap what you want. Dutch fan here.
Definitely do the head and chain on it, i've done a fiesta duratec engine before but would still be brilliant to see!
You can still use normal sockets for the hex bolts.
The next on list to be going to scrap yard is the fiesta..it's a must
Will you be selling the wheels? I'm near Norwich so will be able to collect
Love you videos dude please make more in-depth clips
Love these videos James! Keep em coming 🙌
what are you doing with the fiesta? i have noticed it in the background with flat tyres
He said at the end of the video
excellent video James keep the good work up
gonna be using this to swap a 1.4 litre to a 1.6 litre. hoping it's gonna be usefull!
also doing a transswap
I think the engine is defo useful as a demonstration piece for future content.
Love the new more in depth video.
How much for the indicator stalk?
I've been told by a few mechanics that it's a VERY BAD idea to use the drain plug/petcock thingy on the radiator. SO SO MANY BREAK OFF and cause you a world of crap. Best to just take off the lower hose.
This is great it's really helpful stuff man please keep it up
Carry on my friend as alot of people will want to know about timing chains etc
Yes please i would love head gasket etc! This video format is great
Should have used the impact gun! would have been alot easier! good content as always!
I used one on a hex screw on a steering rack, sheared the fecking head clean off 😂
But you done the rear main seal? So how has it gone already?
Do option two carry on that oil it’s a very interesting topic. I am wondering what caused it to be brown ?
Emulsification
Thanks for this video. Really Appreciate it. Given me a lot of confidence.
Do the vid about changing the timing chain and head gasket, but use the existing parts for demo purposes. If you use new parts it will cost twice as much as that engine is worth. They are two a penny at the scrappy, £50 a pop.Break the car yourself and sell the parts onn, then weigh the shell in.
You know what they say, big hands .... big gloves :)
The oil color was like coffee because oil and water were mixed together.
Your like Einstein...
You should get a little shop
Can you show us how you take off body panels and other main body parts etc. as well thanks!
this felt like I was doing all this myself, fantastic video
I reckon the engine will be fine.Sounded fine when you started it. I'll carry on with the plan. Fit new gasket etc and get it sold.
Kevin Eccles really..? It sounded like a bag of nails and got worse when revved. Do they all sound like that?
@@Roverturbo I've heard a friends Corsa and this sounds about right.
@@Roverturbo my partners doesnt sound anywhere near that bad. a bit tappy sure but thats got lifter/chain problems for sure.
Great video James Do In depth video on Rear Main Seal And Timing Chain
What engine code is in it maye i may be interested in buying it if you were to sell it?
Quality video !!! Subscribed after watching this
Now on gumtree looking for the same corsa to do exactly what you have done in the video !!
Great for learning thanks !!
How much for the front bumper
yes please carry on im learning so much from your videos, can you do something on the heater matrix as I have problems on my corsa also ive got the floor well issue soaking wet, cheers from Lowie.
Coolant looked good, and level in tank, just flush it, let the buyer put the oil back, saves a few kg in weight... 🤩
Sorry maybe I missed something where is the 1.8 corsa have you sold it
He sold it a while ago now for about £700 👎👎
Needed to go for a wee at 17:40 lol 🙈👍
Great video dude, if you on about striping the engine and doing the work I don't think you will get what it cost you back in selling it, and full the love of god just crack on with the fiesta as I am going to start on mine soon as seeing it sat in the front garden is doing my head in lol
Another good video James always love your streams would love to see you do a different car 👍
I'll take the battery tray if it's for sale?
How come at the start of the vid you showed a leak of clean engine oil? Where do you think that came from?
Great detailed vid, keep removing and go through possible issues regarding engine, Don't spend money on it, 👍👍
Quick question how do u remove the heater controls on a corsa c? I snapped one of my knobs on mine and cant for the life of me figure out how to remove to replace broken part, youtube only has videos on bulb replacement plz help.
Don't know how you're allowed 5 cars on your drive. I have so much as two and it's constant ear ache about scrap cars making the house look run down.
Also rear main seals are a pain in the ass, especially if you're leaving the car to sit. They need to be lubed up to death and put together and started up pronto. You do it with normal engine oil and then leave it without starting it for months, the seal runs dry and leaks. I use silicone grease and completely pack the seal in it, and then just change the engine oil after 50-100 miles.
Great video James. Be a shame to scrap the hole car and engine. Get as much content as possible. See you on the next one 😎👍
Interesting but how are you going to solve the oil issue??
Great vid james. Id suggest carry on with the videos like you was gonna. Do the timing chain etc. Will be good content 👌👌
It’s not the head gasket that’s gone it will be the timing chain gasket that’s gone the water pump sits in the middle of it and fails and u get the water in the oil
Awesome video, I love your content fella
I agree with you carry on with the good work more engine content
Need your help I have a 1.4 sxi and Engine lights keeps coming on I have change the spark plugs And coil pack And
I’d be very interested in the crank seal replacement and timing chain as I’ve got a corsa c which is quite modified and is in really good nick bar it’s crank seal just pisses out lol
Full engine rebuild maybe?
Hi, I need a front bumper, sump pan and if you can install it even better. Please let me know. Thanks
Hi - I was hoping to see you using your Draper impact wrench. Can you link to any videos in which you use it, or have you made a follow-up to show how it's performing?
Looking back at your older video of this corsa where you done the rear main seal, when you have the sump off applying sealant the oil that’s in the sump looks very similar to how this oil is now which is a slight milkyness too it. Iam guessing you just reused the old oil? Iam guessing head gasket.
Are you going to refit the engine once the work is done so that you can run it and make sure all is well before selling it?
Need a shed like this love the vids 👋👋👋
Make the corsa electric?
Have you still got the rear wiper as my m8 needs the whole thing
Big Turbo fiesta build Next
Yes please james, what about the piston rings, my mate's corsa had them gone at 90k miles lmao
GREAT CONTENT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SO GLAD YOU ARE KEEPING GOING ON THIS IF NOTHING ELSE IT WILL HELP THE BOY RACERS LOL
Keep going mate it will be great video to have and to help other great work 👍
In my opinion,you can obviously remove the engine and have some videos of it but i think you should strip it down,remove the good parts of it and sell them they might be more valuable than scraping the whole car plus you can provide with more videos
Continue as planned.
I done it in my Corsa but it was only a 1 litre engine
I love the less editing, music and fancy shots. It’s more real
Do the fiesta next
Great content mate keep the content coming 👌🏻👌🏻
