OT: What to replace with 195k km service on Opel Utility

[Jaco Versfeld]

Hi There,

Sorry, this is off topic, but I can't find another forum with the correct info.

What do I need to replace on the 195k km service of an Opel Corsa Utility 1.6i?

I assume the standard items:

Oil
Plugs
Oil filter

Petrol filter??

I don't think I can can set the timing as the bakkie has coil packs.

Thanks,
Jaco

Every thing

Sorry Jaco,just a joke

I would think the cam belt if you did not do it in the last 900000km's.Was the last sevice a major service?

Jaco,

Let me explain it this way to you.

All the petrol corsa vehicle's had the same service schedule.

Every 15000 km's you change only the oil and filter. Check the rest and top up where nessacary.
Every 30000 km's you change all the filters. Replace spark plugs, replace brake fluid, flush system and bleed brakes. Also every 2 years or 60000 km's you must replace the anti freeze.

Every 75000 km's or 5 years you have to replace the cambelt & tensioner ( the tensioner looses tension after this km's which leads to broken rockers and bent valves if not replaced with the cambelt).

The vehicle cannot be "tuned" unless you have access to the GM Tech 2 Machine which is their diagnostics machine.

Anything else, you are welcome to ask. .................

Ps... I have fixed these vehicle's for almost 4 year before giving up....

Thanks for the replies.

Johan, the head gasket blew at around 165k km. GM replaced the timing belt then (or so they said). So I don't have to replace it (timing chain) until 240k km ...

Thanks a lot

You might as well change the cambelt and tensioner as it is not so difficult to change and not that expensive go to you neareat goldwagen - its is about R200 bucks for a belt and a tensioner after all it has been at the stealers and with gm you never know

good luck

Hi Jaco,

Het jy nog jou bakkie se boekie (Owners Manual)? Daar is 'n kompleet "service schedule" wat se wat gedoen moet word.

Laat weet as jy nie een het nie, ek sal vir jou die blaai in scan.

Dankie Johan,

Ek het nog die boekie. Het so 'n bietjie vergeet daarvan. Dankie

As dit nie in die service book is nie:

Waterpomp !!

Hi Johan,

Ons was in Oktober Moz toe met die Corsa. Volgens my vrou moet ons nou alles vervang :) . Hy het so 'n bietjie deurgestamp. Ek was te suinig, wou petrol spaar en nie met die Lux gaan nie ...

Every thing

[Jaco Versfeld]

Hoe gereeld vervang 'n ou dit? ek dink dit was ook op 165k km gedoen - toe die HG gegaan het ...

[Jaco Versfeld]

O ja, watter olie beveel julle aan? Wat gebruik GM? Ek gebruik Delo 400 vir die Lux. Die Opel gebruik nog niks olie of water nie.

Wat se plugs, en watter maak - Champion? Wat moet die plugs se gaps wees?

[Asterix]

GM gebruik Castol Techtion of GTX2.
Ek het nou die dag SWAMBO se Suzuki olie vervang met Shell Helix Ultra (sintetiese olie) omdat mens dit sommer by 'n vulstatsie kan koop.
Die enjin loop baie stiller maar dit is bietjie duur.

[Big D]

Jaco as hulle die pomp vervang het behoort dit nog goed te wees. Ek weet die Corsa's het maar probleme met die water pomp.
Sal nie Sintetiese olie in so ou motor sit nie. Gewone shell helix. Weet nie wat hulle dit nou noem nie.
