2004 Vauxhall Zafira review from UK and Ireland
"Has been a good family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 16000 miles, glow plug fault, displayed by EM light flashing at switch on, and then staying on for several minutes while driving.
At 54000 miles, EGR valve and sensor faulty, EM light came on intermittently with a loss of power, limp home mode.
Vacuum tubes poorly run in engine bay, and chaffing wires and rubber tubing.
At 68000 miles, engine management light coming on intermittently with a loss of power, limp home mode. Unsure of the fault yet, but it is my mobile phone that causes the car to go into this fault mode, suspect a sensor is failing and RF from phone is interfering with the signal to the engine management.
