CORSA D BUYING GUIDE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING A CORSA D

[@kantonpaleis8731]

Thanks for sharing. Honest and real to the point common troubleshootings sharing of the car. I drive like 3 years mine and also service myselves. Cause it feels better and I am having fun doing it. (Oil and almost all filters) And last but not least: saves a lot of money..

[@kanwal6310]

About to view a corsa on wednesday, it will be my first car, definitely watching all of this! Thank you.

[@MADMODS]

Good luck with finding a good one definitely the most popular first car. Dont buy a 1l useless engine get a 1.2 or 1.4 check insurance on both the 1.4 might be the Same price to insure as the 1.2 try and get a Sri or limited edition.

I have one for 3 years now. Make sure the alternator bearings is working properly : lever it with a screwdriver and if it have a play it’s almost dead. I also had all of the issues mentioned in this video but as he said, their very easy to fix. However, the cables connected to the blower resistor tends to oxyde. If it’s the case, don’t hesitate to cut the wires and replace them to avoid bad connections problems. If the connector is melted (common to), open it, clean it and put the new cable in. Pretty easy to do with pliers. In most cases, it’s just one cable separated from the other

Bro I thought I had a bad rubber seal or somthing as my new corsa d 57 reg got a oil leak where you explained this video helped me out thanks keep up the good work 👍👌

[@juxty3102]

If you get smell of petrol inside the car, especially when driving and there are no visual leaks from the fuel system its most likely the petrol cap needs replacing. Plus the interior air vent slats, there is a small metal wire behind that keeps the slats aligned which falls off.

[@ninuh0354]

How can I check the interior air vent slats?

[@Matti6950]

Thanks for this video. The engine you show seems from an old or not so often repaired car, or from youngster driving to much or from someone driving in bad condition (raid, salt, dirt) all the time. Noone of those apply to me, i server mine yearly, drive only 4000km a year (it's a fun vehicle and travel vehicle, it's not a shopping car unless it's to big to cycle it from shop), since i dont have the downside of buying a low mileage car to in 4 years already 'loose the low mileage', i prefer ultra low mileage since often those are pristine, and with my driving style it remains pristine. Sadly cause of a series of unlucky event (all not my fault) i had to quickly buy a car, and best one i could find, was a mistake, the sales person doenst honour warranty and the BCM is broken, trying to do a low effort lawsuit to force him to repair it, the issue is been known since sale, then it was something small but couldnt be fixed, now escalated and my other service point (much better service), pointed to this, and i believe them. Thinking of buying another Corsa D (super low mileage, 1.2 (love that one by far the most) and good features and colour (enough choice). Maybe Corsa E if i'm convinced it's actually better. Maybe Toyota yaris for trustworthyness but sadly the supply of them (2010 model) is insanely low (and priced over valued).

[@onestepbeyond5221]

About the oil switch. I had several new ones like every year 🙄...only a fiver but still a pain..last time i brought a Lucus one and it been ok for the last three years 🤞 (They are blue or black easily changed)

[@sportshatch]

Great video, bought and sold 7 or 8 of these Corsas. Only thing I would add is watch the subframe for rust. Especially if you live somewhere they put a lot of salt on the road. Replaced the subframe on two that I bought. Easy to change over about 2 hours and about £100 for a good used one.

[@abdulbaridk6938]

I have got mine needs subframe change, would u be able to do that and how much will cost me?

[@iCanSeeYou999]

Thank You for this useful video !!!

[@nicklaz6986]

Thanks for posting. Very helpful video. I'm looking at 2013 diesel variant are those engines reliable?

[@MirkoM2425]

I can confirm both issues. The glove box broke as a pen was stuck in the opening when closing the glove box, and it broke super easy. Also the cabin blower resistor went out and the air only blew on max speed. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're changing the resistor please use the OEM part which is the A.430.009.00 resistor, if you use anything else the AC compressor won't start unless the speed is 5,6 or 7 (on automatic climate controls) If the blower speed is below 5 the compressor won't turn on. I have this issue as I changed the resistor with a wrong one. If you cant buy the resistor the DENSO DEA20012 blower comes with it.

[@worldhello1234]

@1:46 That is why you shouldn't buy non-enthusiast grade Corsa Ds. It could have been used and abused by a young whippersnapper but the fact that it is more expensive to own and not preferred by non car guys makes them a great option.

[@1973jdmc]

Thank you so much - Brilliant

[@juliesmith6111]

Thank you, really helpful, should have watched it before we bought it! About to do the repair on the glove compartment. Also wonder if we’re about to have problems with the low profile tyres.

[@MADMODS]

check out my video showing how to fix the glove box if you haven't already.

[@juliesmith6111]

@@MADMODS thank you yes I did that repair, it wasn’t as simple as it looked and I was left with a couple of spare parts but the glove box is fixed!

[@illkaw]

@@MADMODS I used McDonalds paper straws for my glove box. Cut them to size, Put the pins through them and now the glove box stays in place. Would be good to see a video of a full service to know how to DIY.

[@MADMODS]

@@illkaw there's a video on my channel of how to repair it!

[@leighvaughton2740]

Rusty subframe a major issue - can go from no advisory to unsafe to drive away from MOT station within a year. Probable write off. Personal experience!

My corsa wont start, startermotor is fine,Earth is fine, batteri is fine, rely is fine. What can it be te ECU??? Please help. When i turn the key its just do one click… it doesn’t even crank..

[@Abbas36432]

Did you fix issue

[@craigtrigg4288]

good video i bought a corsa d 1.3 cdti 09 reg but misfires and juddering at low speeds

[@MADMODS]

Most likely to be a sensor or clutch. A Cdti should not misfire due to it being a diesel and it has no spark.

[@craigtrigg4288]

@@MADMODS but i insp4 flashes on the dash when i start it then it flashes off ?

[@northyorkshiredashcams5663]

Hi. I don't know if I'm late but I drive a remapped 1.3CDTI and had similar problems. Your EGR valve and MAP sensor maybe cloging up. Also check to see if you have a leaking injector seal. The best thing to do is obviously get your garage to fix the problems and then do regular Italian tune-ups and by that I mean once a week drive down a fast road for 20 mins in 3rd gear between 4,000 and 5,000 revs. Don't be affraid to rev it that high. If you keep the revs beyond 4,000 the EGR and exhaust system will get red hot and burn out any crud. I Hope this helps.

Hi i wanted to buy a 2013 Vauxhall corsa sxi with 60,000 miles the guy wants it for £4,000 pound with 12 months MOT and one year warranty by the dealer. What do you think please let me know.

[@oliverkent7158]

I bought a 1.2 Corsa 2013 before Christmas from a dealer. Cost a little more than yours but got one year free warranty free service and mot. 49k miles FSH.

[@stzbg90]

I thought that 1.6 Turbo has a timing belt, not a chain?

[@FINDITFIXITRESTOREITBUILDIT]

all the 1.0 and 1.2 are timing chains.

Have you got a video how to fix heating mine doesn’t work at all

[@MADMODS]

I don't you need to change the resistor pack as that's the most common problems with them.

Hi i wanted to buy a 2009 -2012 Vauxhall corsa what is the highest mileage j should buy one on. Please let me know i am about to buy one it has 70,683 miles it is the 1.2 petrol 2008

[@MADMODS]

like any car look at the service history and previous owners. a well served car will last for a long time a car that's not been cared for will have more problems in the future. that's good milage for its age so if everything is OK it should be a good car.

[@martinhartley7927]

Nothing about the leak in the wheel well and leaking rear air vents

[@MADMODS]

thanks for adding this. I didn't know it was a common problem on the corsa.

[@694069406940]

cool video 😎 👍

[@martinhartley3530]

U didn't mention boot leak

[@andrewr4445]

I dont know if anyone is aware, but there is two product recalls on this car, that Vauxhall will replace and fit for free, the hand brake and a corroded sub frame.

[@Jessw_1996]

When did they say about the sub frame ?

[@Gmancro929]

Great let me help you with advice : don't buy it

[@Gmancro929]

You know how much trouble are all used GM vehicles made after 2003.. There is no other vehicle in the world which is worse, not even chrysler fiat... Just watch scottie kilmer number one mechanic on KZbin.. GM is officially numero uno the worse manufacturer of the vehicles in the World.. And repairing cars in UK is expensive, unless you have your own garage and own tools but most of us don't have that.

[@weatherwatcher5303]

The worst cars are range rovers, bmw, fiat/Chrysler actually vauxhall is pretty reliable

Vauxhall corsa drivers are very strange people and have absolutely no clue on car maintenance.
