joolz75 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Its something to do with the engine management system i think. We have a 2.0l Zafira and we have had a few problems with this iver the years. Last time it was the glow plugs or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it serviced first and plugged into a diagnostic computer before you start throwing loads of money at it ....hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMitch Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 We had a similar problem and it was something to do with the filter. Becomes more expensive if you leave it:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 it will be the egr valve..........very common fault Possible but egr sticking is usually associated with poor idle speed and engine cutting out at low revs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martss Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Is it using more fuel? Could be MAF sensor, measures the amount of air coming into the engine for the ECU. You need to get the car on a diagnostics test or have a look on some Vauxhall forums for more specific advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
