Lekka video, summer is around the corner...cooling system must function 100%, preventive maintenance is better than costly repairs 👍

Thanks for the very informative videos, much appreciated. Does anyone else experience a strong fuel smell in the cabin of the corsa utility? I've checked all the hoses and changed the fuel filter but there's no signs of leaks and a strong smell outside but not inside

Looking for advise what can one do if the expansion tank leaks by the cap even though you have a new cap

@solveitautomotive9485 Ай бұрын

Best to replace the whole tank . You can get them at scrap dealers or buy it new at @goldwagen or @takealot

How much does your heat gage move? Does it go to just below half often?

@solveitautomotive9485 Ай бұрын

It travels between cold and half . It never goes over . In traffic in summer it goes to half , no further. I have replaced the radiator thermostat and water pump twice since that video The main reason is that they are not OEM parts and need to be replaced every two years .

@roanswanepoel1757 Ай бұрын

@solveitautomotive9485 I replaced head, new waterpump and thermostat on 1.4i corsa. It use to take long to heat up and then after a while sits on 1/4. Now it would go just above 1/4 to almost half them go down to just above 1/4 again.

@solveitautomotive9485 Ай бұрын

@@roanswanepoel1757 that is exceptable. Just keep an eye on the radiator for leaks and blockages. Also only use coolant 50/50 mix , not just water.

How's it man hope you are well,just wanna find out ,can the thermostat come out by itself or do I have to remove the cam pulley and belt ?

@solveitautomotive9485 Ай бұрын

Hi I'm good , hope you are to. This is a great question , yes you do have to take off the cam sprocket. The best way is to mark the position on the sprocket in two opposite places before removing it and then tie the timing belt in place with cable ties in the same way. So prior to this you may want to evaluate the situation and check what else needs to be done eg timing belt , tensioner, water pump, oil pump, check crank sprocket. These answers will be determined by how you do your minor and major services.

I just redone my rings and valve stem seals she running like a dream only one issue she is heavy on fuel my mate said it can be the 02 sensor.

@solveitautomotive9485 Ай бұрын

@@ShelwynnShanders You know it's a process of elimination determining what could be the issue , therefore it's best to take out and check and clean the o2 sensor , check idle valve , mass air , air filter , injectors , fuel pump, fuel relay , air pipes etc. and it's best to use OEM parts if and where possible.

Hi man, I've the same car, it has high revs, tried to clean the throttle body and the sensors still the same. On the other side it is making a fun ticking sound near the injectors. Can you help me on that please?

@solveitautomotive9485 2 жыл бұрын

Hi it is hard to give an answer, but possible u have a electrical problem at the coil pack. When it revs high press down in the wires of the loom closest the coil. See if the revs drop. Inspect all electrical plugs around that area for water or oil inside them All sensors must be OEM (made in Mexico) not after market. Clean out air idle sensor with carb cleaner as well as maff sensor with maff cleaner. A good service can help. air filter, plugs oil , oil filter , plug wires.

Hi there i bought an Corsa 1.4i it had a rough idle and sometimes cuts out. i replaced basically all sensors with a great improvement but there is still a slight miss. any idea or how can i contact you

Hey, I've replaced my fuel filter, idle control valve, throttle sensor and cleaned the carburetor. All the injectors works. But still the idling cuts on start up... It only idles on it's own after I pedal to help for about 10 seconds... All the pipes are in tact.

@solveitautomotive9485 2 жыл бұрын

Hi it's hard to give an answer cause it can be a number of issues. I take it it's a Corsa gamma 1,4 with fuel injection. Before you replaced it did u have the same problem. I would advise that if you replaced the idle air valve , that it be a OEM one an not a pirate from the spare shop. Those ones don't last and they don't communicate properly with the ecu.

Hi can you tell us where the temperature gauge sensor is located, we have an opel corsa 1.4i lite. The temp gauge is not working at all when u switch car on. Also the car has high revs intermittently.

@solveitautomotive9485 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it's called the cold start sensor . It's sits on the cylinder head usually below the coil

@@solveitautomotive9485 also, I saw in one of your videos that if it’s the water pump there would be signs of a leak. What are the signs your thermostat is damaged?

@solveitautomotive9485 Ай бұрын

@@famba0 a main factor in all problems is how well you did your services. Also certain parts particularly moving parts need to be changed out between 50 to a hundred thousand kilometres eg water pump, thermostat,oil pump , tensioners , lifters rockers etc. So you need to determine how old the parts are in your engine. The type of coolant in the engine is very important.

@@solveitautomotive9485 one last question. I idled the bakkie this morning and at around 80degrees the fan came on and all was working perfectly. Then I did the same a few minutes ago and temp went up to 90 with no fan coming on. Does the thermo switch offer both temp indication and tells the fan when to switch on or is there something else control when it turns on

@solveitautomotive9485 Ай бұрын

@@famba0 Your temp sensor or cold start sensor under the coil will do that in combination with the thermo switch.
