Opel

opel omega crankshaft sensor is located next tp the oil filter atached with a star shaped screw, to remove it you have to remove the oil filter first. or the muffler.

Under the wheel and fuel tank opening button.

There is no difference. They are the same! Opel originating in Germany for some reason chose to have different names in different markets.

The torque settings are normally included on a sheet when buying the gasket set.

It all depends on what corsa it is, my opel corsa 1997 1.3i Lite's filter is situated inside the petrol tank, you can get to it by lifting up the back seat and opening tha black round cap.

I have a corsa c sxi 2001. I will be changing the petrol filter at the weekend. It is situated under the car beside the petrol tank near the back. Make sure you depresurise the tank before taking the old one off or you will have petrol all over. Leave for 20mins with key out the egnition and relese petrol cap then put it back on and start work. Have rags and paper ready for spillage. Hope this helps

I have a Corsa c 2001 and i am in the prossess of changing the petrol filter. Mine is at the side of the petrol tank just under the front side of your back off side wheel. You should get at it by lifting the back off side of your car and put it on an axel stand. It is just as the chap said before me

where is thermostat located

your overdrive unit is probably shot. that is the fourth gear or drive as you call it. they have had lots of trouble with all overdrive automatics in the states. your opel is a GM design.

Others suggest the distributor

just do a net search for < blaupunkt radio code > plenty of sites offer a paid service to give you the info. You will of course have to supply any serial numbers, and the model/type.

I went to a local Citroen garage and asked about my own radio code, (and the radio was still working!,) they said they could tell me but it would cost me twelve pounds (GBP) !!!

Shame they did not have the same system on domestic colour televisions and video recorders, it might reduce the level of house burglaries?

0895......i just have to figure out how to enter the code.

Before starting, make sure you have new fluid, gaskets, and filters for your transmission for when you put it back together.

Look for a drain plug at the lowest point. If there isn't one, you have to remove all the bolts from the pan on the bottom, and (most likely) gently pry the pan off, CAREFULLY, without making any marks on the surfaces of the pan or the transmission. (Marks can lead to leaks after you put it back together.)

If there is any work above and beyond this, take it to a professional!

should be 1 on left hand corner of dashboard in corner of window!

If you have a vectra B its on the panel in the drivers door a black sticker with white writing

Nope, they are made in Germany, more correctly in Rüsselsheim. Main Opel factory plant.

Opel were never present as a company in the UK, so never made a name change. Opel in Germany and Vauxhall in the UK were separate well-established companies when they taken over by General Motors in the 1920s. They continued as more or less independent entities until the 1980s when their activities and models were merged, but the names continued in their respective countries.

On the Astra G (1998-2003) it is under a cover in the center console under the emergency brake handle.

Car due a service? It will need to be reset by a main dealer

As in other answers it could be many things, the following is the checks I make when facing this problem.

1: Is there fuel?

2: Is there a spark? Remove number 1 plug, mark and remove the other leads, hold the threaded part of number 1 plug against the engine with insulated pliers, ask someone to turn the engine over. You should have a nice blue spark, if the spark is there but weak, regap ALL the plugs.

If the engine doesn't fire at this point then I would check the ignition timing. Its not that difficult to do. With number 1 plug removed (number 1 plug BTW is the one nearest the crankshaft pulley end) AND ALL OTHER LEADS REMOVED, turn the engine over BY HAND using a socket on the crankshaft pulley, look for the timing marks on the pulley and the casing covering the pulley. Some-people find it easier if these markings are marked with "Tipex" or white paint. These will line up twice, once will be the compression stroke the other will be the exhaust stroke. You want the compression stroke. When the marks are ALMOST lined up put number 1 plug back into its lead (but not into the engine) and hold it against the engine again. Turn the ignition on BUT DO NOT TURN THE ENGINE OVER, continue to turn the engine over until you pas the timing marks and see if the plug sparks. It should spark about 5 degrees before top dead centre, if it doesn't spark continue to turn the engine by hand until the marks line up again (or just before) and he first time you turned the engine it may have been on the exhaust stroke! Hence the second rotation.

If the ignition timing is out (highly unlikely as most are controlled by the ECU nowadays) see a specialist.

The other thing that will stop the engine from starting is if the valve timing has slipped. The easiest way to check it (though not entirely accurate) is to remove the camshaft cover, look at the lobes (the egg shaped things, there are 8 of them) above number 1 piston. Rotate the engine by hand, as above until the marks are lined up, now the "pointy" parts of the lobes should be pointing as far away from the valve tops as possible. If you continue to turn the engine over you see them starting to turn towards the valve tops.

The valve timing will only change if the timing belt has slipped/snapped. Either way it is a garage job to repair it.
