What would I use to support the engine before taking off the bolts I have to pay 180 when the part it’s self is 50 I can see online so was hoping to try it myself

Don't forget to look up the torque specs for this job. The water pump is 8nm and the engine mount is 40nm guys this is important. But great video and very helpful I feel I can now do this job with confidence.

Tip for anyone watching this video recently, if you remove the air intake box first, you'll make it easier to get the mounting bracket in and out

thats my first tought

you've made a good video here young son...easy to follow and real life happenings credit where credit is due ...thanx again

Thanks so much my sisters fan / aux belt snapped and this video was the only one showing how to remove the fan belt Thanks so much People like you are the reason the internet is a great place. Keep it up :)

Great video, of course some of us might do it a little different, remove airbox etc., but give credit where it is due, this is a great video and has helped me do the same job. Check which water pump you have on as there are variants. This one has the temp sensor and throttle body pipe nipple moulded into the pump housing others have a screw on plate with these items attached and rubber not metal gaskets. The method for replacement is essentially the same. Top marks for the video.

EPIC - sorted my own water pump following this step by step. Cheers Mate.

Excellent example of how to replace pump! Insightful

I just replaced my water pump and your video was brilliant. All went well because I did that thing with putting bolts into the new pump and then transferring them back into the old pump once it was off and then finally back into the new pump. I did everything you did expect I moved my air filter out of the way to give me more room. Thanks for making the video, you saved my around £120 doing the work myself. 😀👍🏻 thx again

Dude, really .. thank you. My waterpump gasket blew and my pump is defective. You just saved me 100's of Euro's on an Opel Tigra Twintop.

Great video if you're planning to do this yourself! Thank you very much!

Thanks mate for saving me a few quid ,did everything in your video and the pump works fine, some great tips,

What a great video really easy to follow you make it look easy got to fix water pump on my sons Corsa tomorrow

Thanks for posting, you just saved me over £100

Spot on many thanks, car all sorted and I'm not back to taxi of dad. I removed the air filter and casing just to give me more room.

Thanks for the video, helped me change the water pump today.

Excellent guide , great help , made the job so much easier seeing it explained . Thanks. :-)

Awesome thank so much, you have help so many people, thank you for posting.

Hi Andrew, good video i just done mine, mine is slightly different the sensor and hose at the top i didnt have to take off, the on a housing held on with 2 splined screw, so i took them out and bolted it to new pump, i found the engine mounting bracket a bit difficult but got there in the end...the gaskets on mine are those rubber things that fit in a groove, i changed all those, 2 on mine, but to my astonishment when i had finished there were no leaks...i done what you said with the bolts as there all different length, think there are about 9 of them....but all went ok...lot quieter now, was getting really noisy...cheers from Fred Nr Chelmsford.

Yes thanks for you video you helped me out big time 👍 thankyou

thanks for sharing very helpful my tigra has started blowing hot and cold air temp keeps going half way then back to zero as I'm driving I wonder if it's the water pump or thermostat I noticed that little pipe at the top was weeping I touched it and it snapped clean off little yours did as its weak plastic so I take it the new one is brass instead of plastic? thanks for your time

also I has to take the air filter box off for much easier access

Cool Video and crew :-) Greeting from Denmark

When you tighten water pump bolts l would do them alternate gradually workin round them to ensure it goes on flush.

Good video, thanks!

Thanks mate for the video

good job bro... thumb up

Same for me i need to replace the alternator belt.. where is the best place to put the jack? i read you can do it by the oil sump but half of people say it could damage it. anyway on the corsa theres some plastic covering over half of the sump.

Nice video!

Excellent video .... Now.i know i don't mind paying a few squid for the labour... Id happily do it myself but its February, its minus 4 feels like minus 8 and i figure .. nah But im glad i know how to do it in case he jack's the price up tomorrow... I now feel confident enough to do it myself. Thank you kindly for the tips and tricks. Regards from coffee.

Good video pal

nice 1 rasta man followed completed happy - subscribed

nice 1 mate

Hi! When you removed the lower engine mount bolt (the rusty one), did that go though a water channel in the block? I am going to change the belt, but I do not want to tap off the antifreeze if I do not have to.

Can I use axle stands to hold the engine instead of trolley jack? I don't have trolley jack

Wery nice video.

this is a good video thank you - when you fit the new pump, is there a seal that goes between the impeller and timing case cover? when i removed the old pump, there was a piece of rubber what looked like a damaged seal, over the impeller, not sure where it is from.

@martinbell9171

7 жыл бұрын

Naomi Brooks, there is a seal on the timing cover gasket that are sometimes prone to failure on these engines, usually leaks water in to engine and then people confuse it with blown headgasket. If it dont look good then probably needs new timing cover gasket, if thats the case then i would realy consider a new timing chain kit as when you have timing chain cover off it will be easier to do the whole lot as the tentioner and chains are prone to failure on them aswell.

Andrew, do u need to add any gasket seal to the metal gasket as i'm about to change the water pump and drive belt on my 55 plate Sxi +..Same pump as you installed..Many Thanks

great!!

dude i got a question i got a lot of water leaking from right under neath where that pump is could it be the pump gasket that is gone how would i know if the pump is working? i was worried at first but after watching your video im sure i could do this you made it look easy

@herdsire90210

I have the same issue. There are some tricks to check if it's the engine gasket. Foam in the oil, oil in the coolant. It that is not the case it's the waterpump or its piping. I'm 100% sure it's my waterpump gasket which ruined the pump.

legend!

I got the same problem tomarrow I will change it

Hallo ,iwant know what torx key number had you used for move the belt tensioner. Thanks from Gianfranco in Todi

Nice :)

Awesome vid need to do this to mine. What tools did you use?

respect

Did you use gasket sealer?

Hi, does this model have an engine oil cooler? If yes, where is it located please? Thanks!

Hi mate, did you put a block of wood or something on your jack or did you just put the jack staright onto the bottom of the engine? My water pump is leaking near the bottom so got to change it, cheers

I can't put belt back on how did you make it loose? I don't want to take whole thing apart

Right, after looking at this video I attempted to change the water pump on my Corsa D 2010 SXI. There is zero space to remove the engine mount, and the air-box came off, tried to jack the engine up-down the long bolts didn't want to come off, ended up putting it back together. Is there "a way" that you are supposed to take that mount off as the space is significantly less than a corsa C? Nightmare... Great video if only it was for a D.

How do i put the belt back, where is the tensioner

The most common reasons for water pump failure is a leak, bad pump bearing/pulley, snapped auxiliary belt or oil mixing with the coolant. The last one is the least common of these reasons. If your head gasket needs replacing, the water pump and thermostat should be changed at the same time, A, because it saves hours and thus money, B, they have similar maintenance intervals.

i think opel corsa b 1.4 16v 90 ps and this car water pump nat the same?

this engine looks short is it a three cylinder seems like their is a lot of room at the pump end plus it might be good practise to copper grease the bolts etc but still well done man

This is is the XEP engine, XER engine is a bit more difficult due to fuel VVT , but still good video

Anyone know which tools I need for this job? Mostly what size torx sockets.

@shelg6082

Sorry it's 2 years late. But you need female torx sockets (e sockets) can get a set on ebay for £10-15, will have all you need. Vice grips for hose clamps, screw driver or something to help the hoses off

what is the name of the belt you take off and is it easy just to do that? Do I just release the tensioner but don't have to take the pulley off

@martinbell9171

7 жыл бұрын

Bez big the belt is the auxiliary belt, if you put a 14 mm spanner or 15mm cant remember on the tentioner where the pulley is and push on it as if you were tightening the nut it will release the tentioner so you will be able to release the belt and take off, you will have to give it some force though as it is tentioned by a large spring.

how did you managed to change the waterpump without change the timing marks??

@martinbell9171

The water pump on these corsas are driven by the auxiliary belt, (they are not internal) they also are driven by a timing chain not a belt.

i hear if u change waterpump normel they do change distribution to

Multibelt. The distribution belt takes care of timing.

on some cars the waterpump runs off distribution belt and you change both at the same time, on this car it runs of the multibelt
