How to Change the Temperature Sensor on the Opel Corsa

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa E - Years 2014-2019
Part: Engine coolant temperature sensor

Let's see how to change the temperature sensor on an Opel Corsa: open the bonnet of the engine compartment and locate the sensor to the left of the cylinder head. Drain the coolant by opening the bleed screw. Disconnect the electrical connector and, using a socket wrench with an extension, unscrew the sensor. Clean the area around its seat with a cleaning product, screw in the new sensor first by hand, then tighten it with a torque wrench to the correct torque. Refill the system with new coolant and start the engine, checking that everything functions correctly.
