Thanks for the vid - do you think both rear coil springs should always be replaced at the same time or it is fine to just do one?

Thank you for taking the time to make and share this very helpful video.

Nice and easy. Mk 7 RWD engine model is tight in LHS corner and requires air pipe and air sensor removal.

Check oil capacity, expected 7 L to drop not 9L. Sump sizes vary!!! My van 2.4 diesel 2011 ( ex minibus ) RWD. I needed a strap for plastic housing removal. Socket just slipped !😮

Finally an actual in-depth video for an Impreza dash, big cheers for that mate

I’ve just started working on cars again after a 25 year Hiatus! My confidence is growing and your video has given me the additional confidence I need to continue to do it myself! I was going to use ramps and never thought about just jacking one side! How did you deal with the engine undertray?Thanks and great video btw!

Did you need a longer glow plug with the sensor on top? Thks. Great video. Ty

Another good tip is to take the sump off and wash it in a parts washer, thats what my tutor in college done when he seviced his own cars.

Nice one. I'd been meaning to do basic servicing on my own cars for years and it took covid to finally push me to do it. Saved hundreds since doing a full service, drop links, arb bushes and discs+pads. If your car is fairly modern and nothing is badly rusted it really is easy to do routine servicing and even some suspension work with a basic toolkit. Even for my city car the main dealer wants >£200 for just a oil+filter change! Costs me £35 and takes half hour.. FYI: The service fill for the 1.6TDi IIRC is 4.3 litres.

Great vid mate, when bleeding the brakes do you have to repeat the same process on the other side of car or is it sorted once you’ve bled one side? Cheers

Had the same problem on my Astra vxr , remove radio and disconnect it , also disconnect battery … leave for 30 min reconnect everything and it came back .

Does anyone who’s done this know if it’s meant to be a very hard struggle to get the 2 pipes to get into the holes where the 10m goes, I get it’s high pressure pipes and not much movement but I was ready to lose my head

Felicitări. 🤝🤝

I just did the full service but I forgot to lubricate the rubber sealings on the oil filter, will that be a problem? The oil filter was also quite hard to attach since it didnt stick to the housing, but i eventually managed and it did screw back on nicely. What do you think will i have problems? i did use the same filter as you, also been driving the car for 3 days no problems

Excellent video!!!

Hi mate, great video! Going to attempt this on my insignia. Quick question, how do i know ive tightened them to 25nm? Or is that the tool fitment id use? Sorry if daft question

I changed the heater core in the car, and now my ac wont throw cold air. Do you know what wires that I needed to clip on for those?

Yeah exactly what I came for nevermind any of the disassembly that's not the least bit important

What’s the Protector called?

Too complicated with all these pipes. Need another approach

Top job explained 👍

2015 vx line sri 2l diesel filter housing is shocking, the filter wouldn't budge and has resulted in a snapped fuel line as it spun off its bracket, just a heads up for others doing this model, ive a head ache from diesel fumes and now a head ache of sourcing the housing to go with it 😂 decent video mate all else was a breeze, thank you.

Great help, thank you.

Sound mate good video got mine to do Friday inner tie bars track rod ends and bottom ball joints boths sides gonna use my windy chisel to remove the old ball joints lol cheers bud mines rwd so shouldn't be to bad

Hey bro, you still using this exhaust config? Not too loud on highways? Drone? I have Martelius with stock cat but thinking about to put in a decat downpipe, maybe with an extra silencer from Martelius. Thank you!

Hey! What instruments do you use?

Where about is the fuel filter? Location wise?

Id know that voice anywhere, nice job Dave. Ive been buying Transit Custom and have been looking up jobs like this one. You made it look easy mind.😊

Superb vid helped me loads ive just replaced mine and all the tips came in handy thank you and yes it is a nightmare but took 1 hr and half start to finish

Thanks for the video, it looks really straightforward, and so informative. My question is, how would you know if they are glow plugs with or without sensors? There's a bit of a price difference so I am hoping my 2015 model needs ones without sensors. Thanks!

Thank you

Service

Did you manage to sort the ESP, ABS and brake pad lights? Mine are on and no codes coming up and it’s doing my head in. Cheers

Great vid.... gave me info I needed. Had to shout " you lucky b@stid!" when your bottom part of ball joint spun tho... Mine is seized so bad.... more heat + brute force and ignorance lol..

Great video. I have carried out my service on my 2016 vauxhall insignia 1.6ltr diesel and seems to have gone well. Only concern now is the engine management light is on. Looking through the Haynes Manual I have and online, is the engine management light on as there is too much oxygen in the system that the sensors are picking up and will clear/remove the engine management light if you continue to drive the car?

I keep bits of pipe/old wheel bearing races to use to go over back joint and hammer it in, there is also a tool that's same for mercedes bottom ball joint that works on transits

Hello, what size is the wrench to remove the oil filter? Thanks

Thank you!

Do you know that small tube/pipe coming off the air filter what is that called and where can I get a new one? Thanks in advance

Why on earth did you open the bleed valve nipple to push back the brake piston? You only need to loosen the lid of the brake fluid reservoir !

What engine is this?

Hello.mate i just tried to replace mine and ended up cross threading the bolt because the top of the pipe was very has to hold in position !!! I bought an old pump to recycle one out of it and then i come across your video where you mention the seal which i didnt find when i took old one off. But you mention 2 should there be on on the existing pipe (RH) and the one i just fitted as well ??

Does this car have a fuel filter to change under the car

Great video, my ball joint was completely rusted and jammed. Removed the axle and used one of the long pitman arm remover to press on the top of the ball joint. Was a hassle to align properly, but managed to remove it. Was going to replace the ball joint only, but looking at your video, looks very easy to change the whole control arm.

Great Vids Mate

I'm about to start servicing. I doubt the garage I was using was doing it all. I always had to chase them to stamp the book, and it was always main service - never interim. So it was always more expensive. I did disks and brake shoes all round the car last week, now following this to fully service this coming Monday along with drop links and rear nearside spring in prep for MOT. (I have a 2014 Insignia, had it 10 years). Thanks lot mate, even at 5 years - this is gold! Subbed 🙂

Have you ever worked on mr beans mini?

Where to locate the oil pressure sensor
