2000 Vauxhall Zafira review from UK and Ireland
"Very nice car apart from the minor problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One week after driving it away from the dealership, I checked the oil and there was no indication of oil on the dipstick. I had to by more oil for it even though it had just passed a Network Q service! Dealership were unwilling to admit the oil had been overlooked and suggested I monitor the the litre of oil that I had put in for one week. After the week was up I checked the oil and the level had remained the same, which proved I didn't have a serious problem with oil usage. Dealership said it would look into it further and I have heard nothing since!
The only other problem I have had is with the Fuel Gauge. The first month or so I had no problems, but now when the gauge is at the lower end of the range, one minute your OK on a quarter of a tank the next time you come to use it the petrol light is flashing or worse still the car doesn't start because its completely run out with no warnings! The local dealership has replaced the fuel sender, but its still un-reliable. Has anyone else had similar problems??
