Good guide. If i made add a couple of things: when checking the wheel, put it straight, put hands on 09 and 15 o'clock position and wiggle to check for bearing play. And second, please clean battery terminals with grit paper if rusted and apply copper grease not wd40.

[@helenehoute7375]

Brilliant basic explanation and easy to follow. First time I did a service myself and worked well. Super empowering. Cheers for this. Will definitely recommend to my friends 👭 ❤️

Great video mate :) I have a 1.4 SRI and using your video to help me service it. Bought all the stuff off euro car parts for my car but I'm just wondering where the best place would be to put the dirty engine oil? Dont fancy clogging the drains up 🤣

[@44dam4]

Take to your nearest (uk) recycling centre - they have a tank for used oil or if you know anyone with a garage I'm sure they'd dispose of it for you. Don't ever tip down the drain :)

[@jon8xty1]

All looks good. You could have replaced the sump plug washer. I would especially like to have seen you replace the pollen filter as this is a bit of a bugger to do.

[@TomsDriveway]

Covered in another video I have done. And defsintelt should include the washer, alth tou will be able to use it again twice in my experience. Of about 7 oil changes on that particular car.

[@jon8xty1]

@@TomsDriveway Love your channel and you seem to know what you are doing so good luck.

[@georgecroney6168]

Cabin/pollen filter is actually very easy, just pay attention to the way it came out and it'll go back in dead easy with a bit of force and attention to make sure it's in straight without buckling. It's uncomfortable trying to squeeze into the foot well to do it though

hello thanks for the video but id like to know where is the FUEL FILTER ?? i have the same - Corda D 2012 but diden't know where is the location of FUEL FILTER

[@TomBusfield]

Hassan NACIRI lifetime filters in the Corsa Petrols - do not require changing..

[@TomBusfield]

etienne nel not a lot of info to go on in terms of a diagnosis. Order of things I’d check. Clutch. Pull handbrake on as hard as you can, try driving off. Car should stall and not allow revs to climb whilst engaged. Crank and timing sprockets / pulleys. If none of above. Could be fuelling - try unplugging MAF, see if it changes the fault. If not, unplug O2 sensor - again check for faults. Important to note, unplugging these won’t fix the issue - so don’t expect it to run right, just see if your issue improves. Failing that. Could be a clogged/knackered EGR or even swirl flaps. I had an issue with mine recently. Troubleshooted everything - eventually figured out corrosion on cylinder head had caused a poor earth for the plugs - but of a scratch down and it’s as good as new. Best of luck, hope you get it sorted.

[@grahamgeorge1130]

Good video mate, have you got a video on how to do the fuel filter, also did you use the bleed value for the coolant, or did you just take the cap off? Many thanks

[@d.s.9011]

Nice video. I bought oil for next service but filter is problematic becouse there are two types. I changed antifreeze and now my heater is hot. It wasn't before.

[@TomsDriveway]

Thats brilliant well done, might have been airlocked. It doesnt matter try one if it aint right get another. Or just call euro car parts or whoever you buy them from.

[@evieemaya88]

great video tom. Are you planning on doing a gearbox oil change video?

I have a question: I have a Vauxhall Life 1.2 semi-automatic gearbox (year 2013), and I am the third owner ..... I purchased the car in August 2020, and I have had it with MOT and serviced every year without fail, I never changed the gearbox oil ....... as it's a semiautomatic car with a manual gearbox ....... should I have the oil changed next service? it changes gears without a problem and even though it's an old car, it does not give me trouble so far, I am just curious if I should have the oil changed or should I leave it as it is .......... thanks.

Fantastic video, now have everything sorted for my service. My manual doesn't state a spark plug and coolant service, yet it's only on 35k miles. Is it worth changing them yet?

[@TomsDriveway]

I'd just inspect the spark plugs first, and coolant I'd probably do it to be honest. Although you can get those testing kits to still see if it's okay, maybe slightly over the top tho..

Tom need some help please, just bought corsa month ago, 2007 1.2.I am so upset, car is collecting water in the spark plags area, machanic said that's the condensation but the car is missfireing every time when is raining. I changed spark plugs and coil, and the whole week the weather was nice and dry, cold and it worked perfectly and then again rain, storm. Open the coils and water in number 2, covering almost the whole spark plug. Drain it, drive it, still little missfire and the next day again dry weather works perfectly. Today again rain... Engine light on, service car, little bit working good, little bit on 3 cilinders. Help!!!

Well done mi old good job but don't use wd-40 on ya door checks or hinges use copper slip or good old grease as wd-40 thins the grease down and thats when you get the old creaking noise when opening and shutting your doors ok mate small hint from years And years at servicing cars/vans and small lorry's 👍

Hey my corsa recently started juddering a little when I go into 2nd 3rd and 4th gear. Kinda feels like it loses a bit of power then it picks it back up?

Hi Tom thanks very much for the great vid. I have just bought a 2011 vauxhall corsa 1.2 sxi and will be looking to carry out my own service on it in the coming week. your vid will def help me as i am a total novice. Do you know much about the timing belts etc...or have you done any vids on changing them? mine has done 72k and has full service history but no mention of any belts being changed...i think the 1.2 are chain driven...a) is that correct? and b) do you think i need to get that replaced? theres no funny noises at all when driving but I have lost 2 cars previously (admittedly I didn't look after them - lesson learnt) to the belts snapping and killing the engine so I am massively paranoid about that happening again. thanks again for the fantastic vid.

[@TomsDriveway]

Thank you for the big comment its great. The corsa's have timing chains inside them. They are expected to last 100,000 miles but often don't due to incorrect oil change intervals. B). If it's making a chain rattling sound potentially depending on the extent of the rattle. Corsa's do have a rattle sound even with the correct oil viscosity and a new chain and tensioner fitted. Plus the hydraulic lifters are usually fairly loud too.

[@TomsDriveway]

No videos on changing one since I made sure that I purchased my car with a new timing chain fitted at the time.

[@jamiehikeslandsendtojohnog8829]

@@TomsDriveway Hey thanks for the reply. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get a new chain fitted. Car also just started juddering and hunting this weekend - fairly certain it's the coil pack or sparks. Thanks to your vids I'll be able to do both although it's under warranty so the dealer can do it 😁

Can you do a video of how to change the Drive belt ? My Corsa D 1.2 2010 I would need to remove the engine mount to get the belt off which terrifies me, You have to support the engine on the sump. Last time I attempted to remove the belt tensioner I was undoing the bottom bolt of the tensioner and the bolt snapped leaving half of it still in the engine block !! That was not a good day for me :(
