[@ralphmctell5210]

Good video - I think you've saved a lot of sleepless nights!

[@MrPlytiger]

This is a normal sound in all these engines, it is because of no oil pressure on startup, the issue is more noticeable when the chain is worn, not so much when everything is new and tight, that valve isn't the problem, there is always going to be no oil pressure on startup for 1-3sec, the actual problem with these engines is that the timing chain tensioner is a very bad design, it has no ratchet mechanism in them so that on every startup the chain is loose and rattles it also causes the chain to flutter while running causing the chain to prematurely wear out, if there was a ratchet in them it would keep the chain tight until oil pressure builds up. The only proper fix for these engines would be a redesigned tensioner with ratchet and maybe a wider thicker chain and guides, it is a shame no one has come up with any mod kits yet. Best thing for these engines is to change the timing chain ,guides and sprockets every 30-40k miles, unfortunately it's the only thing that actually works.

[@CorsaDForever]

It make sense what you are saying. The weird thing in my case is that the chain it is in a very good shape, I opened the cover and it is rock solid, can't move it even if I pull harder.

[@MrPlytiger]

@@CorsaDForever thats the spring tension of the valve springs and tensioner sping combined, there is no one way check valve in the tensioner so when the engine is off the tension goes straight away. If you turn the engine at the crankshaft you will notice the chain loosens and tightens at certain points, if there was a rachet in the tensioner it would stay tight all the time.

Hi! Just a quick question. When you have leak of oil, coming from the oil filter housing which i think is the same designation as oil filter body, you need to replace the item completely or just the Seal? And is there many hours of labour envolved? Thank you for your Help!

[@CorsaDForever]

To remove the filter body you need to remove the exhaust pipes. There are 2 bolts that you can't reach until you take off the exhaust. You will need exhaust gasket and filter body gasket.

Looks like when you pulled it out only the plastic part came out, the new ones come with metal base and looks like it separated from it when you pulled

[@alancutler2686]

My 2013 Corsa 1.2 sxi had this noisy start up. Tried replacing the oil filter valve, and made no difference. I've just replaced the timing chain, the chain guide on the non tensioning side was completely broken up and the top guide was also broken. Had to remove sump to recover all the broken bits. Always preferred a chain to a belt engine but having second thoughts after seeing this. Car done 85k and always had regular oil changes and servicing.

[@CorsaDForever]

Euro 5 engines run hotter than the old ones. The fixed guide broke because it is on the hottest part of the engine, towards the exhaust, which is why it bakes faster than the others. I think that then put a lot of stress on the top small guide and make it gave out.

[@AminosCash]

So after changing the oil filter valve and the filter it self genuine GM, the oil pressure at cold start is still zero and the oil light stays on for 3 to 4 seconde, i even bloqued the hole of the valve with a materiel that resist oil and petrol, the problem is still there, i've also done and oil pressure test all good, the one way valve is very good and there's always oil in the bottom so i came up with the conclusion that the oil flows throu the hole in middle of the oil filter housing do you have an idea why is that happening, im about to change the oil filter housing but i dont know if its worth it

[@AminosCash]

Update: I put in a new oil filter housing and still the same problem.

[@AminosCash]

Update problem solved: so i removed the sump, cleaned it and also cleaned the oil pickup tube which was a little dirty but there was a small piece of metal stuck, i don't know what that was, no more ratteling at cold start and the engine run a lot more quieter. Maybe this will help someone.

[@enesmurataj9423]

I noticed on my sons corsa that it would take a little longer to start engine & when it was started i let it idle for about 5mins then turned car off then started the car , it started instantly so i got the thought that maybe something was starving the system somehow . It seems that when the car was warmer & the oil was hotter that it would start on point. Im in the middle of putting new parts on his car so ill be having a look at that valve while im at it, im doing an oil service on it anyway so makes sense to check it . 😂 Good vid though 👍🏼 but kept having to pause every 5secs to see the typo’s . Tbh i do prefer to hear the a spoken tutorial as its quicker to take the info in 😊 But good job tho 🤘🏼

[@CorsaDForever]

The harder start has nothing to do with that valve, leave it alone. It is possible that the EGR does not close perfectly every time. If the engine has some miles, it is possible that the timing chain is stretched, and the camshafts are no longer perfectly synchronized. A small difference in synchronization can sometimes cause longer starts.

[@Draxindustries1]

Very rarely is it this problem, its 99% the timing chain. There's no harm in checking the housing and cleaning it but it won't cure the start up rattle. This is due to the chain being worn combined with a weak tensioner. The only real cure for these engines both the 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 is a new chain kit. They're not expensive and very easy to fit..

[@friarbishme]

If its the timing chain you get the rattle most of the time and not just on start up. Id done my timing chain and tensioner and still had the noise on startup for 1-2 seconds, until replaced this valve.

[@CorsaDForever]

@@okhascorpio you can remove the valve completely and just cover the hole. I'm thinking to do that. The only role of this valve is to drain the oil when you replace the filter. After that when you replace the filter you can use a rag to prevent spilling and doing a mess.

[@okhascorpio]

@@CorsaDForever good idea. I'll try to lengthen the springs inside to give it more pressure, if that doesn't work or I break the valve while removing it, then it could be worth trying capping the hole shut with a rubber grommet.

[@CorsaDForever]

@@okhascorpio You can try to adjust the inner spring. The rubber has to be oil and petrol resistant. Or you can make a metal plug fitted with a rubber o-ring.

[@CorsaDForever]

Hi. It is not mandatory. Meanwhile, I changed the timing chain. After all this, sometimes that noise is still heard when starting, especially in the summer when it's over 25 degrees Celsius outside. So, I honestly don't know what else to say, I tried them all, well done with my own hands. As long as the engine runs well and doesn't get worse, don't worry.

[@MadSniper553]

Would servicing the car make it go away after changing the valve ?

It depends, that kind of noise may appear from a worn chain tensioner or worn hydraulic lifters. If those are in a good shape then the noise may go away if you replace the valve.

Hi! I have a question. I have a problem with the late extinguishing of the oil pressure light after an overnight and even after a 2-hour standstill. Usually, the indicator light turns off after 4-5 seconds. Until it stalls, the engine runs louder. Could this valve have any effect on my problem? Thanks!

[@CorsaDForever]

Hi there! Yes, this valve can be the cause. But there may also be other reasons related to the oil pressure. First check with a manometer the oil pressure at engine start, idle and revved with the engine cold and after reaching the operating temperature.

[@kido9132]

Today I unscrewed the oil filter about 1.5 hours after turning off the hot engine. There was very little oil in the filter base chamber and the filter itself was practically dry. What does it mean? The valve is broken? How much oil should there be?

[@CorsaDForever]

The valve no longer holds the oil properly, but if the engine sounds good after start is not a big issue. If you are worried about it, you can replace the valve.

[@kido9132]

@@CorsaDForever It is heard until the oil indicator light goes out and the engine is running louder.

[@emil9208]

These are very problematic cars that are best avoided. On my Astra, the sound of the chain is heard, often at low revs, when starting and while driving. Opel/GM invented a gasket under the chain tensioner, but I find information that even after installing that gasket, the problem with the chain can often return. My question is, maybe the main problem is not in the gasket and chain tensioner, but in the oil pump that does not create strong enough pressure at low rpms. And can the pump be set to give higher pressure, since it is variable and dependent on rpm?

[@CorsaDForever]

If you start to hear the chain, it means that it has started to stretch. In the meantime, I changed the timin chain and now there is total silence. It is true that the lubrication system is not the strong point of these engines. I heard that some would do some tricks and increase the pressure, but it didn't tempt me to try.

How do I know if I have the long or short filter house? Corsa 1.2 2005 VIN: W0L0XCF6856096107

2005 sould be the short one. Mine is the long version, compare what you have with the one in the video and if it differs, it means it is the short one. At the lid you immediately see the difference.

So for the short ones the valve from ford won't fit ?? Thank you.

It’s not the one way valve it the crap oil filter it sucks In witch opens the one way valve a bit letting the oil drain out so only buy I genuine Vauxhall oil filter that will sort the problem as I replaced the valve worked for one day then back to taking 4to 5 seconds to fill the filter back up
