To bleed the diesel system on an Opel Corsa, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the left side, you will find the fuel filter, which needs to be extracted and removed. After removing the filter, unscrew the drain plug from the fuel tank, located just below the tank itself.

Collect the excess fuel in a container, then try to start the engine to allow all the excess fuel to drain out. Finally, insert the new filter and top up the fuel.
