Thanks for making this. Watching someone else do it made it so much easier to work out what I was doing.

Good video that will help many people see how it is done. Minor point I was told by my Engineer / Father was to disconnect the Earth cable first, on dismantling, and last on replacement. This eliminated the chance of shorting against bodywork, as you put the other supply cable ON, which could possibly damage some component or ignite fuel / inflammable sprays, in the process. Small point but important. Thanks for your helpful video.

thank you for this video.Helped my dad get the old battery out quickly.

Thanks! Still very usefull 8 years after posting!

Thank you. Thanks to your video I was able to do it myself. Thank you very much!

Thank you! Saved me using my last call out for the AA. Diamond Geezer!

Danke. Das Video hat mir sehr geholfen.

What a carry on just to change the battery. I just did it on a 2004 Corsa. Cut through the plastic bars on the scuttle to make it compliant and levered it out of the way. The battery retaining bolt needs about a hundred turns, then the socket falls off and into the well underneath. Fortunately the rubber drain flap allows access to retrieve it. Incidentally the pollen filter is situated underneath all that plastic, that's why it never gets changed at a main dealer service. Fifteen year old original battery wouldn't start the car the other morning so bought a replacement. Charged up the old and now it seems fit for another decade or two.

Having to change the battery on my '03 for the first time. Couldn't believe the amount of crap surrounding it. Usually a 2 min job on my other car!

Sehr gute Anleitung 👍👍👍

thanks for this. Helpful +++. but after replacing the battery i see that rain comes through the grille and onto the battery . It must have been doing this before but rain on a battery doesn't seem good to me. The plastic flap doesnt seem to do much. Should i worry?

Thanks a lot! Fixed it, my car starts again. One question though: how does the clip to the right of the battery work? I think the bottom where the screw is attached to the plastic frame has broken in my corsa. Turning it for ages didn't really work, not even if I held the bottom plastic piece with a vice... It's not exactly right now, but the battery can't really move anyway. Its this a problem? Also, the attachment of the plastic hood wasn't fixed with a torx screw in my car. I had to use a socket wrench

Merci pour cette vidéo très bien expliqué

Did exactly the same thing on our Corsa, after checking this clip. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for explanation. What are the characteristics of the battery for Opel corsa?

Thanks. Looks more or less identical to our Opel Tigra Twin Top (based on Corsa). The worst part was getting the plastic cover back in position.

how many ah do you suggest for opel corsa c 1,2 52 or 60?

Hello You have Multitool tools which company? Thank you

Dankeschön !!!

I'm going to guess that's a 12ml socket on a long extension bar to release the battery.. (could be 14mm who knows ) and I'm guessing it's a 10mm spanner to undo terminals...thanks for the video tho

Thanks! Great video!

I tried to take the bracket off but it just kept turning, so I had to force it up with a screwdriver a while turning, Its a plastic nut thats rounded off, so there is no way to tighten it up or get under it to put a metal nut on. I found a solution, put a wall plug in with a coach scew tightens up solid and easier to unsrew.

I'm stuck in the same situation (bolt on the plastic clamp-down at the base of the battery just spins). Been trying to use a screwdriver to force it up, but it's not working too well. Once I get it out, I'll use your wall-plug idea.

Hi did you know how to get to the relay box ?

I tried it today but it didn't work for me. I followed your steps but I wasn't able to give away that plastic bar which covers the battery on the top. I just broke it a little bit.

Csak kérdezem, hogy a csere idejére- nem kell a szivargyújtón keresztül pótáramforrást biztosítani? Mert a rádió, - meg az immobilizer az áramszünet miatt elfelejt mindent, és ha nincsenek kéznél a kódok, akkor nagy a baj. Kérdezem.

7 жыл бұрын

én kicseréltem az akksimat a B Tigrámban (ugyanígy néz ki az akksi körül, C corsa az alapja) pótáramforrás nélkül, az immobilizer nem felejtette el a kódokat. Egyébként ha kéznél is vannak a kódok, akkor is csak szervíz tudja újrapárosítani. A használati útmutató pedig azt mondja hogy hosszabb tárolás esetén le kell húzni az akksit, csúnya lenne ha elvesztené emiatt a kódokat.

TIGRA TWINTOP: Same procedure but the first fastening is an 8mm bolt, the second fastener is a Torx screw. The battery clamp is a 12mm bolt.

The bracket bolt is spinning freely but still holding the battery in solid fml stupid design if you ask me

I did it but it took me 1,5h
