Corsa D 1.4 Full Service (Changing Spark plugs, Oil, Oil filter & Air filter) // NOTaVXR

NOTaVXR Episode 4
Hi Mods, welcome back !
The Corsa D is the work horse of the NOTaMOD family doing well over 14000 mile a year! Key to longevity of a car’s performance is consistent maintenance. This service includes replacing spark plugs, changing oil, replacing oil filter and swapping out you stock air filter for a performance K&n filter!
When picking my service parts I went for the top end of performance parts this is to help squeeze any spare power that might be in that lil 1.4l !

Nice video pal, I have a VXR corsa and it’s just as easy all being based on the corsa d. I always do a full service each year: Oil Change, Oil Filter, Air Filter, Pollen Filter and spark plugs. And a minor service every 6 months: Oil Change and Oil filter. Owned the car three years now and it’s running amazing no issues after all! It’s all about regular and routine maintenance 👨‍🔧

[@NOTaMOD]

Yeah definitely there much of a muchness! 👌 and I think mines running pretty sweet in all honesty so fingers crossed it outlasts the rest 😂

[@NOTaMOD]

Cheers by the way glad you enjoyed the video 🔥🔥

Great video I done mine two days ago i also changed my cabin filter.. Great video can learn loads from these

[@NOTaMOD]

Cheers mate! Love a bit of maintenance, I did do another video on that as well! Good old bit of learning on the job! Sub for more content like this ! That would be sweet!

When you change spark plugs, always remove the coilpack and then the rubber tubes that are on the coilpack, then the springs that are inside the rubbertubing and check the top of the coilpack inside the hole where the spring was for Corrosion. All this 1.4 engines have a common problem with those coilpacks, if it misfires and runs really bad at idle, it is the coilpack. * i have tried to figure out if there is eny better coilpack, what i found is that the Bosch Coilpack has an extra rubber ring close to the sparkplugs, so that should be mutch better keeping out moisture witch is causing the heavy corrosion.

[@NOTaMOD]

Yesss! I have not checked mine over in honesty but when I first purchased it I had an issue with it and got it replaced under warranty as the pack went!

You should toll the size of all tools used

I have contemplated this several times but some videos I do so far in advance when I get to editing I can never remember 😂😂 but will definitely take it on board for future videos 👍🔥thanks for watching !

[@PieMonsterR]

Very useful video & Quality channel dude - keep it up!

[@NOTaMOD]

Thank you ! I do my best to help with everything people that love cars wanna be able to do for themselves👍 rather then pay someone to do it for them 👌

[@cudalcharles]

Where did he put yhr axle stand?

[@maxcasci7432]

Hi, what code do the new spark plugs you installed have? Thank you

[@Renciic]

As I understand, it has no fuel filter, right? Bought a fuel filter for my Corsa but can’t find a fuel filter on it. 😁

[@pataleno]

No it's in the tank.

[@ImNotADeeJay]

Is the air filter perfect square?

[@NOTaMOD]

I am not entirely sure! My recommendation would be to get the one specific to the car to avoid any mishaps 😂😂

[@wingkinwong9082]

Isnt it 3,5L of oil instead of 4L as stated in the video?

[@NOTaMOD]

I don’t think so as per my Hayne manual it says 3L for 1.0 and 4L for 1.2 and 1.4 👌

[@NOTaMOD]

It may be 3.5L if you don’t change to oil litter as changing the oil filter adds some extra oil requirement whenever you do it, but in all honesty if you change your oil you should change your oil filter!

[@NOTaMOD]

Ow and on an extra not it does say there is a 1L difference between max and minimum so 4L should stick you in the middle so I guess 3.5L would work but in all honesty your gunna have to buy 3.5L anyways as they don’t sell halves

[@jamiejeffries2548]

any difference felt in the new air filter?

[@NOTaMOD]

Yes definitely! Not like a new car but definitely sharpened throttle response! If you check out my dyno video I talk through some of the gains from the k&n and fuel ! 👌👍

[@jamiejeffries2548]

@@NOTaMOD can you link where you got the filter from please?

This is where I bought it from and I double checked the k&n part number from the k&n website 👍👌

[@marcelh2341]

Definitely to much torque on that drain plug! It only needs 10 Nm.

[@NOTaMOD]

I tried to imitate how tight it was from it’s last service at the dealer 🤔 Maybe too tight but it gives me price of mind that it won’t leak I guess 👌

[@connorfaulkner3112]

It’s actually 14nm ;)

[@melissadodd9175]

Can do my car if you like 👍

[@NOTaMOD]

😂😂 Tbf would be good money going round servicing peoples cars hahaha

[@melissadodd9175]

Yeah it would 👍
