[@MatthewSchoepf]

The most appropriate coolant for the Opel/Vauxhall/Holden Corsa/Barina C/XC is DEX-COOL red coolant, which is specifically recommended by GM

[@michaelseifert1788]

To remove air just turn the engine on and reach 90deg temperature before closing the reservoir?

[@juandregeldenhuys284]

Thanks from South Africa

[@doit_vehicles]

You're welcome

[@Garrus_Vakarian_N7]

You need to start the car after topping it off for water pump to push coolant in engine and radiator, then add extra coolant while fluid gets sucked down. The way you do it half of the capacity would remain vacuumed

I put a new egr valve on my corsa b, and now my engine temperature becomes hotter then it used to be before i replaced the egr valve, normaly it was around 90 c. Now it allmist go up to 100. And btw the new egr valve didnt fixed my problem wich is: my car stutter wich turns on the engine check light. Any ideas would be appreciated.

When i open my drain valve and when i take off cap on expansion tank nothing comes out i dont know why but its not empty there is water in tank and radiator

[@barsozbek744]

İ could not find the radiator tap of my mother's corsa c 1.2 when i look at same place which shown by you.İs your car 1.2 or different one.İf yours is at different place where is the radiator tap of 1.2.Thank you for your help.

[@mageirospavlos7832]

How mutch litres of water need the 1.2 corsa c ?

[@marocautofix5555]

My corsa is taking long time to get up to the normal temperature after changing the coolant. Is it a problem with the termostat?

[@doit_vehicles]

if you say after changing the coolant , it is most likely . Was the old coolant very dirty ?

[@marocautofix5555]

@@doit_vehicles i just changed the coolant but didn't open the termostat

[@marocautofix5555]

@@doit_vehicles the thermostat got stuck open, that was the issue.

[@alexandru-gh]

green color is inappropriate for corsa c. you should use red color because it is different than the green one in terms of ingredients ;)

[@HKberg]

was the thermostate mailfunctioning? or is it good to replace it after a while?

[@doit_vehicles]

In this case was stuck open , as I remember

[@HKberg]

@@doit_vehicles ok so via this way not all coolant is drained right? Cause im not sure what type of coolant has been put in by the previous owner (its red) so im worried if its not entirely drained it possibly doesnt mix properly with the new coolant

[@HKberg]

@doit_vehicles how much Liter will come out via the radiator?

[@denniero6904]

@@HKberg 6-8 liter

[@teravolt6113]

I have the same engine on my car and after 14 years of operation the original Behr thermostat started opening at around 77°C instead of 92°C (the design temp). Even if they won't jam open or closed they still lose calibration and open way earlier than normal after a while (=engine wear, bad heater, wasted fuel). Coolant is G12+ for this engine. Doesn't necessarily have to be red (the original Dex-Cool coolant Vauxhall and Opel part stores sell is in fact orange). As long as it's rated as G12+ and/or all relevant VW TL standards it's ok.

when i came back from the mall last night the little bulb thingy that holds water was literally boiling and water was coming out on the bottom of the car, the entire engine was so hot, and i was like omg the car's going to blow and i left it outside all night. idk what the problem is, i'm afraid to start it, SEND HELPPP!

[@Giuseppe_coachgius]

why thermostat replacement if it works fine?

Kam difekt, me fiket ne ecje dhe nuk ndizet per rreth nje ose dy oresh. Ç'far ka.

[@db31415]

Hi! I have a problem because the temperature does not rise to 90. It is between 80 and 90 and if sometimes goes to 90 it drops down to 80 again. I did change the thermostat but same thing. Do you know what can be a problem?

[@doit_vehicles]

I wouldn't be concerned about a 80^ C especially if its cold outside

[@smOOdiebOOdie]

Mine too! How did you resolve it?

[@db31415]

@@smOOdiebOOdie I didn't. I sold the car. All mechanics told me everything was ok

[@smOOdiebOOdie]

@@db31415 ok thank you for reply!

[@EBoro_31]

You just changed the coolant in the radiator, not in the engine block, so this is not complete coolant change.

[@doit_vehicles]

Most of the coolant from the engine block will come out as well

[@travelwithme5475]

I drived 21 days without coolant. Now I'm soo confused what to do

[@doit_vehicles]

fill it up ? 😅
