    Hi all, I have a rather frustrating issue that keeps occurring every couple of weeks with my Corsa D 2012 1.2. The main issue I’ve got is that the bottom hose pipe keeps blowing off, even though I have tightened the jubilee clip securely. It appears that pressure is building up, forcing the...

    Hi - sorry if this isn't the right place to post but can't find my problem elsewhere. I just had my water pump and fan belt replaced as I had a leak in my coolant system. The car ran fine after that for 4 days. Just took it out today and I can hear running water (but nothing is leaking from my...

    Hi, I recently bought my first car, (a 2001 corsa comfort 1.2), however I noticed that the water was disappearing very quickly. I had to top it up at least once a week. I took it to a garage to find and fix the source of the leak. They said if needed a new water pump, so I got the work done...

    Not sure how to bleed sealed system? Recently adjusted weak coolant mixture by removing lower hose from expansion tank, draining off about 1L from expansion bottle & adding 1L of ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Left yellow pressure cap off while I warmed up the engine, purging bottom rad hose...

    Hiya, I want to renew my stat in my x10xe Corsa B 1.0ltr 1999 its a 92 degree/107 degree. Looking online the x10xe thermostat is pretty expensive at 19.37 (stat & housing complete) - however the one that fits Corsa B C14SEL, X14XE, C16SEL, C16XE, X16XE engines (stat & housing complete) look the...

    hi all, I have suspicions I might need a replacement yellow coolant tank cap. after a while of driving I lifted up the bonnet and could hear this hissing and it was coming from the top of the expansion tank. The system seems to be pressurising OK because i very gingerly opened the cap and the...

    Hi Folks, I drained the coolant last week, and installed a new hose on the top right of the radiator, as it was leaking. I then refilled, ran the engine a little, topped up etc, and have made sure she has stayed topped up. However, the coolant pump (probably) is now whining when at low revs...
