Water flange Corsa D replacement / Coolant leaking Corsa D

[@xpalletexchangex]

Had same issue this weekend. The part fails due to heat damage of the inner plastic ring becoming brittle. Coolant then leaks past the seal and corrodes the bolts. As the bolts are retained in the plastic housing they are machined with a thinner shoulder on them which is where they then snap upon disassembly. Drill out and re- tap the hole/s. Fit new part.

Thanks. This helped alot, going to give this ago next weekend. Got a leak

Even though I have the correct tools 2 screws snapped so if anyone will try this be very careful during undoing the screws holding this thing on the engine, thanks for the video

[@jamiegreen7355]

Hiya what did you do when the screw snapped inside

[@G30MaxForce]

Hi... Fist...You cry ... After, you have to bring the car to a Service! I.m sorry for you!

[@jamiegreen7355]

@@G30MaxForce crap ok thank you, can the car still be driven locally

[@jamiegreen7355]

If the other 2 come out and take the housing off would the broken screw be visible to remove

[@JiMiGj1234]

@@jamiegreen7355 hi I am really sorry for replying very late, I used a day before wd40, and Locking pliers, and also during the removing of the screw make sure nothing is blocking you when you will use Locking pliers, remove other bits which will block you to use this tool fully, don’t warm the screw meaning keep taking brakes as I am worried in the past if screw which in in the engine gets hot it might snap take your time, so everyone knows this is the best invention ever Of this tool, untold screws and situation those Locking pliers have helped me out, make it maximum tight really really tight when you lock, locked it that tight that you have to use both hands to lock I am not a car mechanic this is done by myself at home, good luck everyone

Hi What is the function of the temperature sensor, does it give a command to the electric thermostat to open. Thanks for the help.

Hi, super Video! Vielen Dank! Hast du an der Gummidichtung beim Einbau noch irgendeine Paste zum weiteren abdichten benutzt?

[@G30MaxForce]

Hi, habe keine Paste genutzt. Nur den dichtung

Great video, thanks for uploading. Can I ask what year and model Corsa you have?

[@G30MaxForce]

Glad to help. It is a 2011 Corsa D face-lift model.

[@ImNotADeeJay]

Thanks for the video. How much coolant will it take? I am about to replace mine, I bought 5 litres, not sure if it will be enough....

[@G30MaxForce]

Hi...you welcome. 5l is enough...it will take less...about 3l if I remember right!🙂

@@G30MaxForce that corsa holds 1 u.s gallon or 3.5 ltrs

[@SnGrg]

nice video. How long did this last?? I bought similar from ebay and it started leaking after less than a year.

[@G30MaxForce]

Thank you! Did you replaceed the gasket though? There was no leaking anymore! I sold the car last year!

[@SnGrg]

@@G30MaxForce I replaced the entire coolant flange, it didn't have a gasket on the old original one and didn't have on the new one. It had a rubber seal which should have been enough if it worked originally.

[@brucewayne7838]

@@SnGrg did you do up the bolts to the correct torque?

[@SnGrg]

@@brucewayne7838 yes, but the one I bought from ebay leaked regardless, so I bought a genuine one from vauxhall dealers then and there fit it and hasn't leaked since.

[@G30MaxForce]

Glad you fiaxed it!

[@marian12sz]

Hi, what is the correct tightening torque for the 3 screws?

[@G30MaxForce]

Idk...I just torqued them by hand with only a bit of force...not to much!

[@mkubamalecki2959]

Hi, please help me. I was using your guide and while replacing the coolant flange, I broke off one of the mounting screws and now the car won’t start. Could this be the reason why the car won’t start? I also disconnected all the plugs but they can’t be connected incorrectly. Also, when I turned on the ignition, there was a strange buzzing sound from the fuse box, but I tightened the screw that holds 2 negative cables and the sound stopped. I don’t know if this could have damaged or blown a fuse. Thank you and please help :/”

[@G30MaxForce]

Hello, check battery, check Fuses, check starter!

[@mkubamalecki2959]

@@G30MaxForce all this three things working :/

[@pw5192]

Did you sort the issue ? If you did what was the problem ? Did you forget to connect one of the adapters? Did you remove the battery cables before you started the job ? If you didnt disconnect the battery cable off the battery you may have shorted something?

[@evieemaya88]

Can I also ask 1) How do you remove the pipe in your hand at 15:53 ?

[@G30MaxForce]

I think you have pry out, that small pice of plastic with a flat head screwdriver. That pull-up the pipe. It is realy easy!

[@armandobaccari4521]

hello, did you disconnect the battery before starting work?

[@G30MaxForce]

Hello... I didn't!

[@evieemaya88]

@RogueTrooper2911 well they say when working on anything electrical to disconnect.battery and unplugging falls in this lol

[@G30MaxForce]

Because. At that point I lost my Opel card... there you have the Radio code pin on it. So you have to take it to OPEL service to read that code for you! But yes... you right ✅ Battery should be remove. 🖐
