Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Well lads great forum just wonderin if anyone cn help?

I hav a 98 1.0 Corsa B nd the heater/demister fan just stopped workin the other day.Hav checked all the usual suspects like fuses,resistor package nd wiring nd all seem intact. Dnt tink its a fault with the speed selector switch as rear demister nd the light work fine tho i dnt kno how the switch is wired so that cud make no difference.

What i want to kno is how cn i test the fan to make sure its the problem nd if it is,how do i get it out to replace it as frm wat i cn see it requires removing the whole dash which i really dnt want to do if i can avoid it.

Also my fuel gauge seems hell bent on telling me that i hav half a tank wen i kno for a fact that its empty.The gauge itself isnt stuck as it resets to empty wen the car is turned off.Any ideas as to cause/solution to this problem would also be greatly appreciated

The fuel gauge is probably caused by tge float being stuck, and the heater possibly caused by the heater matrix?

Heater is a dash out job

And the gauge is the fuel sender unit (floater is its unofficial name) there simple to change, lift the back seat, remove the black cap and it's just on top of the tank

3 screws/bolts under the back seat if i remember right, Johnny?

Thanks for the replies wasnt expectin it to b so quick.delighted d floater is quick job il knock dat out first thing in d mornin.then on to the dash removal
At least i kno there no way around it now.
Any chance of a step by step on how to remove the dash?
Ive done it in a few other cars before bt never this one nd ive wasted many an hour trying to find hidden bolts to remove a dash that just wont budge...

Could try googling it mate, easiest way you'll find a step by step thread for a dash removal bud

As far as i know there are screws behind the heater vents, have to pull out the dials, the screws aren't hard to find its just very fiddly! The heater matrix is right at the bottom under the radio and stuff

Dash removal isn't difficult just time consuming

Remove the Speedo and surround the center console glove box and steering wheel first then all the screws are fairly visible
