If there were more people like you in the world making vids like this helping others out it would be a nicer place. Really good vid.

Top Man, awesome. This is the clearest an most instructional way so far available. All the rest want you to take the fluid out of the brake servo an after bleed the brakes and don't give as much detail as you. Your a life saver, thanks a lot.

I agree with you and there is another one I watched the other day. A Mechanic in Bristol has made a video of a Vauxhall Corsa C doing the same method. I'm happy it's given me good inspiration for my two Corsa's Regards Nick

I did mine today and it went really well. The only thing I did different was to removed all the old sealant with a pick, then cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. I used a hairdryer for 20 minutes to make sure it was nice and dry, and used sikaflex 221 polyurethane sealant . Thanks very much for the video :)

Thanks for this video man, without it I wouldn't have had a clue how to do it on mine. Took 2 very messy and laborious days but I got there in the end lol. For anyone else attempting this, make sure you reset the brake light switch when you reinstall the pedal, otherwise your brake lights will be stuck on!

Thanks for this video. I followed what you did and found the sealer was in the most terrible state. 😮

Great video really informative. I used a roof seal brush on fix due to inability to remove pedals etc. 2 coats over existing bead but brush gave me half inch over each side of bead for better sealing. Roof seal, brush on worked amazing if you can't do it fully like amazing video 👌

Great video, thanks for that. I love vauxhall corsas fast appreciating cars/vans. Well worth the repair. Well done, you done a great job of sorting out the leaks and cleaning it all out so it rids all the water as it should do instead of inside on your carpet and such. Nice video , nice film/camera work. :)

Completed my repair using this video in 2 hours 30 minutes from start to finish. Very helpful guide and clear instructions. Top Bloke!!!

Top bloke! Clearest explanation yet. My daughters Cora’s has the exact same problem. I feel confident now I can tackle it.

This is one of the best produced how-to vids I have seen on KZread, its given me confidence to do mine after reading horror stories of taking out the column on forums. Cheers.

Excellent instruction. I have this problem on my 2005 Corsa. Whether I'll have the confidence and wherewithal to attempt it is another matter 😉

Very good video ! People keept saying its so hard to do this job...but it really doesnt look hard...just takes time !! Thanks for making this video!

Thank you so much for this, you're a king! I have the Vauxhall Combo which i bought recently and discovered a terrible leak. Sir, you even beat my local garage with this fix. Just need to get the tools myself. BRAVO!!!

The very first video/guide(!) how to do it for complete amateur such as myself.Lovely job man, thanks a lot!!

This vid is over a year old and still the best one !!! I used this vid today on my wife's corsa. Thank you for the clear video and instructions.

Thanks for the tutorial. I now have a car that doesn't leak. It took a while to do and used tec7 to seal around the brake servo. You saved me a fortune. I owe you a pint 👍

An excellent straight talking comprehensive video ,Thanks very much for taking the time to make and post this video .

Hell's bells, fantastic. A lot of the work put into this is unseen -- I'm thinking of the constant repositioning of the tripod. I took my Opel Tigra for its birthday carwash and three weeks later after sitting in Southern French sunshine I was astonished today to find the driver's side (only) is still soaking, and even some seeds have sprouted. As is obvious I don't use the car often, it's mainly my Ford Courrier; working indépendant it yesterday I noticed some 1" diameter plastic circles whic h I assumed were floor drain plugs . Since you didn't mention it I presume there are no such plugs on the Opel. What a rigmarole to have to go through just because the grills they put there aren't fine enough. An like another commenter mentioned this water might be the cause of a warning/ error light I'll getting .... Well, thanks so much for all the work you've put into this -- 10/10. Am thinking of lifting the carpet and drilling a hole or two... Phew, so much work...

Excellent tutorial, great easy to follow steps. Really gave me the confidence to tackle the job myself.

I've had my Combo for about 2 years now and have done all my own repairs/servicing/mods on it. I was literally about to surrender and take it to a Mechanic as I could find no decent advice on it. Really appreciate this video as I can now do it myself, thanks.

Always instructed well bud Good man and video for the learners

Really clear and thorough >> thank you.. will have a go to fix the leak in my vauxhall tigra

Good job. I did this last year. Most awkward bit was the 2 nuts inside the car that hold the servo on, needed a deep socket to tighten them back up. Been 12 months, no leaks :)

Awesome video. Really helped me out. I ran into a couple of issues along the way but couldn't have done it without this guide. Good work man.

Wish I had found your video before the two times I have tried sealing my Corsa! I didn’t remove the brake fluid filler so couldn’t get a good seal. This video is the best and I might have another go to see if I can get it sorted one and for all. Thanks man.

thank you loads! i knew what the problem was but this videp gave me the balls to actually try it myself rather than get a mechanic. my carpets now dry

Thank you SO much for this!! Hopefully the leak is now cured after a somewhat long day.... Been looking for a while for such a clear how-to. Managed to do the job without any claret as well! Plenty of bad language though.

Just followed your brilliant informative and clear guidelines. Great video. I really appreciate and thank you for taking the time to put this on KZread.

Mate thank u so much not only did it save me money but it made the job so much easier.

Thank you for a very useful informative video. I couldn't have done it without. Only time will tell if I've stopped the water ingress.

Great explanation! Thank you my girlfriend has the same problem!

Great detailed video, perfect for fixing a leaky Tigra too. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the awesome video sir, followed it and I’m pleased to report that I was able to clear out all the old rotten sealant, replaced it with new and put it all back together. Looking forward to the rain to confirm all is ok. Thanks again

Great informative video thanks I’m plucking up the courage to do mine but at the moment I get a free boot wash every time I get in the van(combo van) so can’t really complain much 🤣🤣.

What a great video, so informative and clear. Thank you, Les.

Arrr I done the same job the other week I disconnected the master cylinder on mine just to get it out of the way I no need to have done oh well. I done mine the same way you did to re-seal it. A job well done especially when no more water gets in after a big down poor after getting it all back together again. Thanks for shearing. Steve.

Great video, will be doing it soon, already fixed the lid on black box on the right, but there is still small drip behind breake pedal. That should be the final thing I hope.

I used a full tube of silicon sealant put a length of tubing on end of noxzle and squirted it in. then rubbed it around to make sure. your video is good but my method worked fine.

Good stuff. Followed this today and fixed my leak

Best video I've seen on doing this job,thanks a lot.....really helped

que coches están afectados por ese fallo? Corsa? combo? el tigra twintop también? un gran vídeo, es posible que compre un tigra y me interesa saberlo, gracias.

Just did this on my 2012 plate combo the bonnet release cable can leak badly so I sealed that thanks for such a great video saved myself £280 hopefully it stays dry 👽

Well done. A thorough repair. Should be good for the rest of the life of the van now.

What a great, concise and well shot video! Thanks to you I've fixed my mates car! There was that much water in the foot well i found a duck hiding under the carpet. Cheers mate! Thank you😁

Thank you for such a concise and clear tutorial! Including measurements and other little tips was really helpful. Subscribed and liked!

Cheers for tutorial. Done mine today. Long job but at least done properly.

Just did mine today, one tip make sure you tighten the two screws on the brake booster all the way because I didn't and the brake stiffened and there was a pressure leak.

Very thorough and well explained video, good work bud!

Wow that was a lot of work well done great job man

Tolles Video das Problem hatte ich auch mit meinem Opel Corsa c twinport👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brilliant advise, did the job and your advise was perfect, keep up the good work...

Slide the seats back, bash a deliberate 'dent' in the floor and drill a 10mm hole. Job done - 5 minutes

Exellent vid mate and a job very well done..will be doing this soon on mine as it seems i have the same problem

I followed your video to do the same job on my corsa 1.2 2004 that I just bought many thanks

This is a really good video I followed it from start to finish and did the same on my car , I had a leak on my corsa for years and could not find it, but doing what he says on the video it did the job .thank

Great video. I now know that I've got to pay someone to do it. Good work and informative.

Thanks for making the vid, really well explained. Now to give it a go!

Good to see you back man. Legend

One word CHEERS!

a great video thanks, unfortunately i have tried to seal the servo without doing all this and it still leaks so i am more confident to take it apart and do it myself, thanks

Fantastic job. Wish you could do mine! Great instructional film.

hi, i have a corsa with this problem! i dont notice if u drain the brake fuid. Thanks for helping!

Another common leak spot is bcm housing. Sealer inside housing deteriorates and leaks into driver's footwell. Remove the housing, clean old sealer, apply new one and assemble it back.

It's on the opposite side, next to battery. You could just see it in this video. A black box with 6 torx. Electrical connections Inside. The symptom for this one is sloshing water into passenger side when moving off. Resealing the top cover works fine. Yes, mines a 2001 so seen it all with these.

will be doing mine this weekend thanks to this ace video, top work 😁

Best video on this job Ive come across. Real pain in the a@#$ job by the looks of it but could have saved 80 quid if I'd done it myself. Cheers mate.

A Brilliant video thank you. I thought the black panel would have come off for resealing, Did the fix solve the problem ?

Awesome solved my leak you the man cheers.

Great video. I'm hoping I've sealed mine with a brush and some roofing mastic. If not, I'll have to do a roper job and remove the servo. Thank you.

Got the same problem with my gamma, rain water sepage was bad like a pool in the drivers seat, opposite the brake booster is an outlet mine was clogged with alot of dirt and grime, cleaned it without removing everything just the water bottle and flushed it now rainwater free flows right out again🖖

Just done this for a second time as it was still leaking from where the brake/clutch fluid pipe connects to the bulkhead. Hopefully sorted!

great video on the job

That was a great video, good work

Really good tutorial, top marks to you.

Very well explained. Thank you.
