Rear axle for Corsa 1.2 16v 2000 X12XE Engine

Post by kiela »

Hey guys,

I am new to this forum and cars in general. I have a bit of a problem with my purchased Corsa 1.2 16v 2000 X12XE Engine. I took it to the local service and we noticed that the rear axle is very rusty and definitely needs changing. Over painting is not a solution. The image below depicts the part I need to find for my Corsa.

So, I was wondering, if any of you guys know which rear axles from which vauxhall (or opel or any other car make) can fit for my Corsa?

Also, i tried looking for the part on ebay and found a couple of items. However, they seem to fit 2000-2006 MKII corsa models.

I will try to look at the local scarpyard and see if I find something. Anyhow, the help from you guys would be highly appreciated.

Car plate number is W216VCW for your reference. I am located in North West of England, Preston.

Appreciate any help :)

Any corsa b from1993 to 2000 will fit iirc

But could it not be plated? Replacing an axle is pretty big job and not cheap, have you seen tthe rust or just going by garage?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I have seen the rust myself and you can literally put the screwdriver through it. There is a hole as big as 2£ coin. So, it definitely needs changing. My mechanic is reliable and will not charge much for it.

I have found a couple of options just need to choose the less rusty and bent piece of beam.

Cheers guys, if you have any more information let me know.
