Want this question answered?
Bottom of the sump?
on a corsa life , 53 plate , its a T40 torque drive.
under
if it is what i think it is there is a nut that you put a bolt in that pulls the sump down
skill. you'll have to undo the sump plug and let a bit out. It can get a little messy.
You need to buy a Star Bit Set (Torx) I think its T30 at the rear of sump it was on my 05 eco 1L David
Most people would use something in the 80-120L size for a sump for a tank of that size.
The only bolts you can't see are the one in between the sump and gearbox. You'll need an extension and socket to fit in the gap. The bolts will be the same as the rest. Either a 10mm hex head or a spline of some sort.
8mm square socket
The best too for draining a flooded basement is a built-in sump pump. If your basement does not have a sump pump , you can rent a pump from most equipment rental stores. A wet/dry vacuum can also be used to remove water from a flooded basement.
Okay, don't know how old this question is but anyway... Get down on your hands and knees, or back is best and look under the front of the vehicle. You should see the sump and the base of the engine. There are two small bolts easily identfiable, theough they are close to flush woith the base of the engine. The front one is the oil sump. The one approx 20cm further back is the transmission oil sump. The oil sump usually requires a special tool, a modified L-key tool, while the transmission opens with a size 10 metric L-key. Know if i could just find where i can buy this specialist tool to open the oil sump I would be able to finish the job I strated 2 hours ago. Arrivederche, Marc
Phone a Vauxhall dealer, quote the vehicles registration or chassis number, and ask.
