I wouldn't really say it's an engine thing but someone mentioned topping up brake fluid. This should be changed at a major service not just topped up.

theres quite a few gaskets on there :lol: presume you mean head gasket.
tis a good idea to do cambelt + tensioners, waterpump and clutch before it goes in :thumbs:

yeah major ones for c20xe r the cambelt, and water pump, not dear, and is worth doing them while the engine is out!! on other one is the gasket, not a big job, and is worth doing!!

Cam-belt and clutch.
Check them otherwise they're an arse to one with the confines of a Corsa bay

major service parts are:
oil..
oil filter..
spark plugs..
air filter....(no need to change if you have a iduction kit....just give induction kit a clean)
thn you top up all levels.....i.e.....brake fluid....coolant and water....screenwash.......power steering fluid if you have p/s...thn you strip down all your brakes and check your pads and discs.....check your drums aswell.....check for leakin wheel cylinders by just peeling back the little rubber dust-gaurds on each end of wheels cylinder....if fluid is in ther....u need wheels cylinders.....thn give all your caliper and caliper carrier's a clean with a wire brush and a file......thn get sum aerosol(sp?).. brake cleaner and clean your drums......
thn check ya tyres...tread depth....tyre pressure....
and there is other stuff but u need to be rite under car....and not really diy yaself jobs unless your a qualified mechanic...or no your stuff:wave:
thats a general major service....not just one for a c20xe:thumbs:

what parts do i need to replace on a 2.0 16v during a major service?
this is for before it is being put in my car cos i don't want it breaking down as soon as its in!
i've heard that the water pump is one?
also what are the rough prices of the parts?
thanks:thumbs:
