VAUXHALL MERIVA B OIL CHANGE 1.4 PETROL HELP THE CHANNEL Patreon / baconbuttties Paypal www.paypal.com... always Warm the engine before an oil change Opel Meriva B 1,398 cc 1.4 VVT OIL AND FILTER CHANGE 1.4 VVT a14xer ENGINE
I truly appreciate this video, thank you. My car desperately needs a new oil filter and oil change and I've never attempted it before. Mechanics are scary to me with their ability to escalate the cost of work so now I'll do this myself with your help..👍
Just done the wife's meriva B the sump plug was far to tight so left it in place and used an oil pump to remove all the old oil got over 4 litres out of the car new filter installed and topped back up with just over 4 litres of new oil next time I will probably put the T45 bit on my breaker bar and try that.
I don't know how many miles this car has done but I would recommend more frquent oil changes looking at the state of your old filter. i have a 25000 mile meriva and just after a 2000mile oil change the oil pump failed due to metal fatigue a known problem with this kind of timing chain engine. A swine of a job and £800 at the main dealer and thats if you can reuse the timing chain cover plate. Mine was ok a bit scratched due to the failure but salvagable. I have had other manufactures defects with this car including faulty relays made in Portugal coil pack corrosion. and plastic clutch master cylinder failure all down to bad quality parts. I hope yours is ok but be warned. Thanks for the video glad to see you changed the o ring. Regards😎😎😎
Thanks for the useful video! Do you know how tight the drain nut should be? I've got some oil around mine some months after last oil change.. maybe I did not apply enough force while i tightened. Thanks
Я не про замену масла. Ресурс самой коробки 150-200тыс км. Выходит из строя вторичный вал и его подшипник. Есть мысль поменять саму коробку на менее проблемную.
@@baconbuttties in order to get better efficiency some engines work at higher temperatures such as this engine works at 110 or 120 degrees when normal car works at 90
@@baconbuttties unfortunately despitte the thermometer needle shows 90 in fact the engine is 110 . That is actually one of the reasons why these cars have many gasket leaks. Plastic pieces and gaskets get old very quickly due to temperature..
I don't know the exact Torque setting? I know it would be low as I just nip them up. I don't have a manual so I had to go by feel as the information online is a bit vague.
Do these cars have oil pressure sensors. I noticed oil like substance dripping down the block just above the sump plug and was thinking it could be a sensor leak. Does anyone know 1.4T meriva b se?
All cars have oil pressure sensors as far as I know. Google Meriva 1.4 oil pressure sensor to see what they look like and compare to where you oil leak is 👍
@@baconbuttties ah thank you. I had a look around the engine and can't see one. My astra had similar engine and I couldn't locate that one either. An original Corsa I used to own had it sticking out of the front left of the engine block. I searched for the part by my reg and it looks the same just unsure where they are located on the newer ecotech engines.
