Just a quick question, Since ive managed to misplace my haynes manual , can anyone tell me where and how to access the fuel pump on a 2000 X-Reg Corsa 1.2 16v?

Mine seems to have stopped working but cant locate it anywhere. I have a haynes manual for up to 97 (R-reg) but that says to lift the bottom part of the rear seat up and its under there, but it isnt on mine

Any help is greatly appreciated

never removed one before but they are under the rear seat, theres a black cover you need to pop off first and i shud be there. i think

Thats what I thought, but lifted the rear seat up and under it is the carpet, and thats fastened behind the trim on each end so i thought "it cant be under there"

Anyone have any ideas? Sick of the car not working

cos im such a nice guy i got u some pics...............






yes yes i know, im awsome........

from wot i can see it just twists and pulls out,but dont quote me on tht

WOOHOO!! Nice one matty! how did you get the rear carpet up though? It looks like its caught under the trim at each end near the doors (mines a 5door).

If its under there - i will take a look under the carpet tomorrow once I work out how it comes out

No worries mate

mines a 3 door and the carpets been up once or twice to run cables for my sub. jst give a pull and see if it will come. u can get to the cover with out pulling the whole carpet up, just lift the centre bit

to get the fuel pump out around the edge is a disk with little 'hooks' this needs moving out of the way by knocking it round till its free. disconnect the switch and 2 fuel pipes then remove the disk, now you need to reach in and grab the pump and pull on it, somethimes they can be stiff though. if that doesnt make sense i will edit a photo for you so you know what i mean

Matty - will have a look. Pulled the middle bit up as much as it can go (not far) but couldnt see/feel any plastic, so will have to see if i can get the carpet up without damaging it

dandadan - cheers for that. Will let you know if I need a picture of it or not.

My Haynes manual is pretty keen on you using wooden / brass tooling to bash the disk to avoid sparks near petrol fumes.

Dunno how serious a warning this is (ie do it or expect a big explosion or we are saying this just in case but you can ignore safely) but maybe keep it in the back of your mind?

yeah I forgot to mention you should use wooden or plastic tools just to be on the safe side

Ok well good news - it SEEMS that the fuel pump is working fine! But can anyone tell me where to find the Fuel Pump Relay?

It is not in the engine compartment or anywhere that the handbook or haynes manual says it is. Anyone have any idea where it is

Nevermind - found where they hid them this time! They were behind the glovebox so if anyone cant find their relays , take the glovebox out and look to your left

thier on most petrols by there nicking petrol outta scrapped cars thats the best way (H) :L

Ahh well I didnt know that and of course the handbook says its on the drivers side, the haynes manual says its either there or in the engine compartment. Hate cross-breed cars

Hi all,

Sorry to dig up an old thread. I'm changing the fuel pump on my brother's Corsa 1.2 - great little car by the way - and we've run into a problem.

The new pump is in, but when i've come to replace the metal cover, I can't get it down far enough to put the locking ring on. Is it just a matter of putting a lot of weight on it to compress the o-ring? Or have we missed a trick?

Thanks!
