For anyone, there is a temperature guage in the Corsa D, it is just hidden, bit you can get it up on the dash. Simply with the car running, press the button d on the end of the left hand stalk 5 times, on the 5th press, hold the button down and wait for the screen to change and then press it a further 4 times. That screen shows the temp

With any type of motor that has the same symptoms as yours (needs a little knock or push) then it often just new brushes that are needed. They are just a few £.

[@Martysworkshop]

I have never heard of replacing brushes in an automotive fan motor tbh

My corsa D cooling fan isn't working properly so I would like to make a testing kits like yours to test So if you don't mind me asking is it a 12v core wire you using and what size of of thickness core and amps? And plus what size female spade adapter u using 4.8 or 6.3mm Many thanks Marty I like your tutorial is very smooth transition to follow... Subscribe thumb up 👍

[@Martysworkshop]

Hello and thank you for watching. So the cable I use for my test cable is 28/0.3 twin core, I'm not sure the size of the spade just mesure a fuse If you got one there, thank you again for supporting the channel 😊

[@killerinstinct2304]

@@Martysworkshop That's fantastic marty Hopefully I get the kits made it up in a few days cause I'm not sure if I should order a new cooling fan yet or not ? So i just wanted to make sure it's was the faulty cooling unit I needed Thanks a million cheers 👍

[@ImNotADeeJay]

thanks for the video. In my Corsa, about a week ago, the fan started to run way too often, and today the orange "engine" light came on (not blinking). The car is already in the shop, I am awaiting news... do you think it can be the same problem? thanks in advance.

[@Martysworkshop]

This fault caused the temp light to flash not engine but sure the shop will get on top of it. Thank you for watching.

[@MegaMicraman]

Was there a Part 2? I couldn't find it. Thanks

[@Martysworkshop]

I never got around to filming it sorry, it was the relay

Hi I’ve recently got a corsa d 09 plate having issues temp light flashing after a while ten seconds or so on and off had thermostat changed, fans were cold so had it bled for air locks in cooling system ..got warm bit light still comes on now and again for a few seconds a time when the engines cold the expansion tank holds pressure when opened no signs of mayo tho in oil any advice ? If possible what it could be

[@Martysworkshop]

Must be a faulty temp sensor, it shouldn't cost much to replace, they that I would.

[@MrThehackers]

if the light flashes can the car still turn on, because mine wont even switch on

[@Martysworkshop]

Do you mean it won't start? Or turn over?

[@jamesmcrory3419]

Before you even put your fingers near the fan or I would say anywhere in the engine disconnect the battery!!!!! just in case, I saw in other videos the ECU can activate the fan at any time with your fingers in it !!!!

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your input.

[@ranveersinghpatra8426]

how much did you buy it for?

[@Martysworkshop]

Hello the complete cover and fan cost me about £95 but I have put links in the description if it helps

[@dansautomotive]

You only need to unplug the maf sensor and the fans will come on if they are working 😉

[@Martysworkshop]

Good information 👍

[@Alanw74]

Where's the part 2?

[@Martysworkshop]

Hello and sorry but due to other commitments I haven't got around to making the part 2, the second fault turned out to be the resistor witch is the white square ish component that Is clipped into the fan case, hopefully I will be able get a part 2 explanation explanation video up soon. Thank you for watching.
