2003 Vauxhall Zafira review from UK and Ireland
"Nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 03 plate. I have had no end of problems with the car. I have had to have the EGR valve blocked off last year.
The problem with the car at the moment is the revs are always going up and down. I have had numerous mechanics try and fix the problem, but to no avail. The problem is now getting that bad I don't want to drive the car.
If I put my foot on clutch and brake when stopping, the revs go right down and the car stalls on me, which is not good when I am on busy roads. I can't seem to get the problem fixed, and when the mechanic takes a look, there is always another problem with the car, but nothing ever solves the problem with the revs.
Hopefully someone will find the problem soon before the car is too bad to drive.
General comments?
No end of problems from day 1 with the car.
