2002 Vauxhall Zafira club review from UK and Ireland
"My car was OK apart from this problem, it's the dealership that is pi**poor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Excessive oil consumption which was noticed when car was approximately 2 and a half years old after a service carried out by the dealership.
I took the car back to the dealer numerous times over an 18 month period, but they tried to avoid responsibility.
Eventually, they contacted Vauxhall who initially refused to do anything about the fault. I insisted that they check their records to show that this problem had been present for at least 18 months, but the dealer had nothing about it. I insisted that they must do something so Vauxhall finally authorised them to take the car in to try to 'find out' what the problem is.
The car is in the garage at present and I have just been told that they are "measuring the piston rings" and that the piston rings are nipped and there are markings on them". This sounds to me that my car has the same manufacturing fault as all of the others. The dealers have avoided doing anything about it until now.
This has caused me a great deal of inconvenience, time, trouble and the expense of continually purchasing oil.
To add insult to injury, they gave me a courtesy car with no petrol in and a cracked windscreen!
