Good video that will help many people see how it is done. Minor point I was told by my Engineer / Father was to disconnect the Earth cable first, on dismantling, and last on replacement. This eliminated the chance of shorting against bodywork, as you put the other supply cable ON, which could possibly damage some component or ignite fuel / inflammable sprays, in the process. Small point but important. Thanks for your helpful video.

What a carry on just to change the battery. I just did it on a 2004 Corsa. Cut through the plastic bars on the scuttle to make it compliant and levered it out of the way. The battery retaining bolt needs about a hundred turns, then the socket falls off and into the well underneath. Fortunately the rubber drain flap allows access to retrieve it. Incidentally the pollen filter is situated underneath all that plastic, that's why it never gets changed at a main dealer service. Fifteen year old original battery wouldn't start the car the other morning so bought a replacement. Charged up the old and now it seems fit for another decade or two.

Having to change the battery on my '03 for the first time. Couldn't believe the amount of crap surrounding it. Usually a 2 min job on my other car!

[@paulh8672]

Thanks! Still very usefull 8 years after posting!

You're Welcome!

[@gra604]

Thanks for making this. Watching someone else do it made it so much easier to work out what I was doing.

[@ameliamckenna1980]

thank you for this video.Helped my dad get the old battery out quickly.

Gracias por estos vídeos aprende uno a desmontar las piezas sin forzarla y romperlas muy útil

[@PerKarlsson]

Did exactly the same thing on our Corsa, after checking this clip. Thanks for sharing.

[@zsinormotors]

You're Welcome! :)

[@HandsomeMoose]

Thanks. Looks more or less identical to our Opel Tigra Twin Top (based on Corsa). The worst part was getting the plastic cover back in position.

[@9000halNASA]

did you lost your original radio code?

[@nadinefalule3680]

Super !!!! Pas 1 mot ni de musique de la Pratique voilà se que je recherche !!!Merci Beaucoup

[@Ladymoo78]

Thank you. Thanks to your video I was able to do it myself. Thank you very much!

I cant put the plastic part back on 😭

[@nunocorreia2850]

Thank you for explanation. What are the characteristics of the battery for Opel corsa?

[@sheller94]

Excellent video ....Thanks ma Man !! This is why I love youtube ....

[@sidelvy-owen1116]

This helped so much you are a legend

[@AndreLampertheim]

thank you so much for this video. with you help i was able to change the battery in my car without help!!!

[@ghostrider1er724]

Merci pour cette vidéo très bien expliqué

[@sebastianludwig4609]

Sehr gute Anleitung 👍👍👍

[@thescotsman48]

Danke. Das Video hat mir sehr geholfen.

[@Vin-E]

Thanks a lot! Fixed it, my car starts again. One question though: how does the clip to the right of the battery work? I think the bottom where the screw is attached to the plastic frame has broken in my corsa. Turning it for ages didn't really work, not even if I held the bottom plastic piece with a vice... It's not exactly right now, but the battery can't really move anyway. Its this a problem? Also, the attachment of the plastic hood wasn't fixed with a torx screw in my car. I had to use a socket wrench

[@davidniekamp1345]

would be nice to know which keys are needed

[@pdc124]

thanks for this. Helpful +++. but after replacing the battery i see that rain comes through the grille and onto the battery . It must have been doing this before but rain on a battery doesn't seem good to me. The plastic flap doesnt seem to do much. Should i worry?

[@raybucknell]

Very useful - may thanks

[@zsinormotors]

+Ray Bucknell you're welcome!

[@rainbowoli]

Sehr gut. Danke sehr!

[@dannybailey666]

What size socket is needed for the nuts?

[@paulkomn946]

how many ah do you suggest for opel corsa c 1,2 52 or 60?

[@k.b.4357]

Thanks! Great video!

[@zsinormotors]

You're Welcome!

[@mariadimoke7]

Merci

[@rubrumstudio]

Didn't show the most challanging part: How to put that plastic cover over the battery you removed in the beginning back to it's place. )

[@zsinormotors]

Sorry.

[@3pl_fan120]

Shall car computer be OK if i remove my original battery and replace it with another car battery of another opel corsa cdti 1.3 diesel. Made in 2007.

[@cumaali1000]

Dankeschön !!!

[@itsamecoffee7347]

I'm going to guess that's a 12ml socket on a long extension bar to release the battery.. (could be 14mm who knows ) and I'm guessing it's a 10mm spanner to undo terminals...thanks for the video tho

[@SuperFlamethrower1]

In case anyone is wondering this works for the same as the vauxhall combo vans 2001-2012 Saves having to battle trying to get the window wiper arms off like the Haynes manuals suggest Many thanks!

[@9000halNASA]

did you loose radio codes or cpu memory?

[@МейрбекУразбеков]

Hello You have Multitool tools which company? Thank you

[@eamonharvey]

Thats great! Thanks for making the video! (Just one question, what is the name of the tool to get down into the bonnet to unscrew the nut at the base of the battery?)

[@Amperzand]

ratchet spanner

[@EdgyNumber1]

TIGRA TWINTOP: Same procedure but the first fastening is an 8mm bolt, the second fastener is a Torx screw. The battery clamp is a 12mm bolt.

[@tobymillott4097]

I just rip it out by bending the plastic oops

[@zagadjenje]

You should write what tool did you use

[@SeittiSeppo]

Lol

[@sonnyday6210]

I tried to take the bracket off but it just kept turning, so I had to force it up with a screwdriver a while turning, Its a plastic nut thats rounded off, so there is no way to tighten it up or get under it to put a metal nut on. I found a solution, put a wall plug in with a coach scew tightens up solid and easier to unsrew.

[@joeyvk5293]

I'm stuck in the same situation (bolt on the plastic clamp-down at the base of the battery just spins). Been trying to use a screwdriver to force it up, but it's not working too well. Once I get it out, I'll use your wall-plug idea.

[@STMA90]

Thanks!

[@RoromZ]

hi, i just replaced my battery as you did in your video, but my car refuses to start. any tips to share ?

[@Overindulging]

Rom C You probably have something wrong with your alternator or starter motor

In the Daewoo Tico it is much easier 😄😄

[@Sub.zero.111]

The bracket bolt is spinning freely but still holding the battery in solid fml stupid design if you ask me

[@denischlapek]

I tried it today but it didn't work for me. I followed your steps but I wasn't able to give away that plastic bar which covers the battery on the top. I just broke it a little bit.

[@tom4412]

Oh no. That’s really annoying to break your plastic trim, that’s what worries me, as the trim is all in perfect condition on my cc

[@denischlapek]

@@tom4412 I finally found the way how to do it without any damage. Im not sure how to describe it, but if you're interested, I can try to record a quick shot of my approach.

[@tom4412]

@@denischlapek Yes please, that’s very kind of you. It’s just removing the trim that I’m struggling with.the one water jetter seems to be holding the trim down for me. No rush just when you’ve got time. I’m in Shropshire, how about you. I like your song covers by the way.especially the Angles cover.

[@denischlapek]

@@tom4412 Ok, I'll try to manage my time to do it as soon as possible. I'm glad you like my covers, thank you. 🙂 I'm currently in Portadown, Northern Ireland. Anyway, if you would like, you can find me on FB.

[@tom4412]

@@denischlapek thanks, Northern Ireland- I guess I won’t be popping over to yours to see how to remove the battery trim then. Never mind. I found you on Facebook, I’m Tom Davies. Cheers.

Tried doing this with my dad, turns out our battery holder is broken from below, so we had to use a crowbar, otherwise great help xd

[@dannybailey666]

It's on the other side. On right hand drive the battery is also on the other side

[@torokjc]

Csak kérdezem, hogy a csere idejére- nem kell a szivargyújtón keresztül pótáramforrást biztosítani? Mert a rádió, - meg az immobilizer az áramszünet miatt elfelejt mindent, és ha nincsenek kéznél a kódok, akkor nagy a baj. Kérdezem.

én kicseréltem az akksimat a B Tigrámban (ugyanígy néz ki az akksi körül, C corsa az alapja) pótáramforrás nélkül, az immobilizer nem felejtette el a kódokat. Egyébként ha kéznél is vannak a kódok, akkor is csak szervíz tudja újrapárosítani. A használati útmutató pedig azt mondja hogy hosszabb tárolás esetén le kell húzni az akksit, csúnya lenne ha elvesztené emiatt a kódokat.
