Common problems and easy repairs on a 1998 Corsa

The 1998 Opel Corsa B II is a moderately easy car to repair, but it’ll require some lengthy, hands-on procedures. For instance, the headlights on the passenger side require the air filter intake vent be removed in order to access them. The air filter itself is tightly fitted into the engine bay, requiring its hose to be disconnected before it can be removed. The battery is obstructed by the cowl, and would require some patient shifting of parts in order to remove it.

However, the 1998 Opel Corsa B II does have its positives. The tail lights are all located in a single bulb assembly, easily accessible behind a small panel in the trunk. The engine coolant reservoir has a fill line that’s easy to read and an upper radiator hose with open access. All of the wiper blades all have a simple release mechanism that makes removing and replacing them a breeze.
