Thank you for making this video, it is very in depth but explained in a manner you can easily understand, brilliant. Also audio is very clear and no stupid music. Thanks again 😊
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.
Thank you very much! That's precisely what I always aim for: as much detail as possible, so that whoever wants to do the same job has all the support they need in one video 🙂
You're very welcome! This is one of the main reasons I make these videos - so that folks can maintain their cars without spending a fortune at the dealer 🙂
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 RUclips videos and yours is the best so far.
Thank you very much! This is precisely why I make these videos so detailed...I'm hoping whoever watches them has all the information to tackle the same job themselves.
It depends on the age and state of the coolant and the pump. In my case I didn't because there were no leaks and the coolant had been changed 2 years ago. But in general it can't hurt to change the pump as well, especially if it's been running for many years and / or miles.
Amazing and very informative video, thank you! Would you mind sharing with me, what tools and other consumables did you use exactly? I think I'll have to do this next week :)
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!
@@FURY1958 Maybe just a little mean, mea culpa for that 😀 But I do put in the effort to give the recommended parts changing intervals at the beginning of almost all videos and questions similar to yours tell me that few people actually take their time to watch even those first few minutes 😔
@@TheMissingBolt I appreciate your job for that. In fact I must say thank you, because I always did it by age, unknowing by kilometers, which you gave me the right answer finally. We're humans after all and it's good to accept we make mistakes sometimes, even me. So, no hard feelings by my part.
@@FURY1958 No hard feelings from my side either! 🙂 I'm glad you found the video useful! In the end, this is the reason I make them... So that hopefully others can better take care of their own cars and save money in the process.
thanks man mine also need to change it i need first remove belt and i need to check my ac noice 😢 no noice then it's belts problem and my belt little cracks update i just change the belt but i got same noice when my AC turn on my tensioner is not much old 2022 i change it ,,, do i know whats the problem is it?// thanks
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).
@@TheMissingBolthey thanks for the reply..the mechanic do it 2 times when got noice 2023 but same problem not fixed wasted 500€ i think 😢 still in problem... i changed my self belt but nothing happened same noice when i drive 2nd gear it's coming noice ...some times engine turn off when i trying to stop color light 🚨...but it's every problem coming only when I turn on AC 😢😢
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.

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

Fantastic video, probably the best, most in depth & useful on YB! Thanks for the effort in making. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic detail! Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put into this this video 👏

Tolle Anleitung! Ich habe es genau so gemacht wie du es beschrieben hast! Danke👍
Hallo! Vielen Dank! Ich freue mich sehr, dass Sie mein Video geholfen hat!
Excellent video👍 Very easy to follow and understand. Thanks
You are welcome!
thank you for your videos! Really helping me for fixing my own corsa 1.4. Appreciate your content and keep going!
You’re welcome! That’s precisely why I make them 😊
Great video! i feel prepared to replace my belt tensioner!
I'm very glad you're finding the video useful!
Awesome video. Would recommend replacing the water pump, you already there so why not😁😁😁

Thank you! I have a list of those, already ordered the missing ones.
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!
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).
Brilliant enfo thankyou
Thank you very much!
Very helpful 👍
I'm glad to hear that!
When it has to be changed? I mean, how often it changes? Every 5 years, 8 years, every "X" kilometers? Thanxs.
I take it you haven't watched the first full minute of the video, right? 😁
@@TheMissingBolt Right. My bad. I'm not an English native speaker.
But you must be that rude answering? It is called manners.

I guess my tigra twintop will be exactly the same process?
If you have exactly the same engine (A14XER) then yes, the same procedure applies.
How do you remove the alternater itself please?
