Vauxhall Zafira 1.9cdti 120 2004

3 star review

The EGR valve gums up every 15,000 or so miles once the engine has a few miles on it with lots of town driving. I blanked mine off at 40K and now it does not stumble at all when driving off at low revs and now it has 188,000 miles on the clock. The only drawback is it puts the engine management light on and every time the particle filter kicks in it smokes for approx. 5 mins because of all the oily sludge being put out instead of it being kept in engine; this happens about every 1500miles. You can find the blanking plates on ebay for less than a fiver, you can also get a cheap code reader to erase the light when you take the plate out for selling or MoT issues.

Vauxhall Zafira astra 1.7 cdti van 2004

1 star review

Quite simply the worst and most fragile vehicle it has been my displeasure to own. Less than 80,000 miles, but it has become an irritating and expensive liability. Plagued by minor annoying faults almost continuously, even the radio reception is useless. Next time I will buy a Ford or Peugeot/Citroen as they are certainly far superior (from personal experience) Vauxhall are a joke frankly. An embarrassment.

Vauxhall Zafira Design 2L Dti 2004

5 star review

A very good car indeed, especially the engine. No need to worry about the timing belt (chain driven). The only bad point is that it drinks quite a lot of oil. It needs to be topped up every 1000 miles.

Vauxhall Zafira Life 2004

1 star review

I purchased my Vauxhall Zafira Life 2004 model in August 2007 from Phoenix in Wimbledon. My biggest mistake. It was from Network Q. Just been informed that I need another engine already as I am having engine valve problems. Only 30,000 miles on the clock and this car has caused me problems from day 1. When it rains water gets in the inside of the doors. Door strips were changed but I still get water on the inside. The car is a shambles.

Vauxhall Zafira 2004

5 star review

I love my Zafira - it is the best car I have ever had. I bought it 12 months ago and have had no problems whatsoever. I have four children and the Zafira has lots of room for them and their mates plus the shopping. I think if you’ve got a red herring; you are unfortunate but I think they are fab.
