How to replace the alternator on the Opel Corsa?

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Alternator

In order to disassemble the no longer working alternator we must first remove the service belt. To do this it is necessary to loosen the belt tensioner so that it can be easily removed. Now we can go unscrew the screws that hold the alternator in place. Once the screws have been removed, we disconnect the connector and remove the alternator. We take the new spare part and place it in its seat by reconnecting it to the connector and tightening the fixing screws. Finally, put the service belt back in place by adjusting the tensioner. We proceed to dispose of the old alternator according to current regulations.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
