You will have to change the water pump, cambelt and tensioner. Really skilled job though coz the timing has to be bag on. I'd get it done at a garage

damn oh well, thats me out of action for a wile then

what engine is it as not all corsa engines have cambelts - then its easy to change the water pump

[Wig-10]

its a 1.2 16v mate, i think its easy to do on mine

[hicks_22]

Yours has got a cambelt but it'll only take a garage about an hour to do I reckon, I did mine but it's only am 8v

[octane41]

no it hasnt got a cambelt!!!!
its a timing chain. so its driven by the auxilary belt.

just take the belt off then replace the water pump. should take you about 45 mins maybe less.

best thing to do is get a haynes manual and itll tell you exactly what you need to do the job and how to do it.
