2003 Vauxhall Zafira review from UK and Ireland
"Great car if it was not for the faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I too have had constant problems with the fuel gauge - it goes up and down constantly during each journey I take - with the light coming on for a period of time then going off and the gauge going back to a quarter of a tank.
I also have had problems regarding the oil levels - I thought the engine was making a strange noise I checked the oil levels (bearing in mind there was no light indication to warn me) I found the level on the dipstick was below the minimum - I filled it up. then continued to check it regularly - each time the dipstick looks low I never get any indication from the warning lights - I have been told there are no faults with the car coming up on the computer.
I also have a warning light which occasionally flashes on and remains on until the engine is turned off this is an orange light with a picture of a car with a spanner through the middle - each time I have taken it to the garage they cannot find any fault and nothing is shown on the computer readings (strange)
And to top it off my alarm has decided to continually go offs - this first occurred whilst driving - then continued to go off in three spurts lasting about ten minutes - for quite a few hours until my only solution was to disconnect the battery until the morning and take it to dealership - has anyone else had any similar problems - I am at my wits end - I love the comfort and the space in the car, but the computer is wearing me down and the continual amount of faults I am having.
