Hi All,
I also have Starting Problems with my Zafira 2.0 diesel year 2000.
In the Morning if its Very Cold its a Real Bugger, If I heat it up a few times then Turn it Over it seems as its going to Start but then Cuts out as soon as it starts? And if I go somewhere and leave it stand for a few Hours then it Plays up starting again Especially if Very Cold!
I have changed the Leak Off Pipes and Heater Plugs on my Zafira but still very Poor Starting and Alot worse now in the Cold weather!
I have been to 2 Vauxhall Main Dealers with the 1st Vauxhall Garage saying Heater Plugs? Which I changed and was still the same afterwards!!
Then I took it to the 2nd Vauxhall Garage and they couldn't find a problem on Tech 2 Machine!
I told them I Changed Leak Off Pipes and Heater Plugs and could they keep my vehicle there till the next morning and see if it played up Starting then? And to do a Vacuum Test Overnight?
When I went to the garage next day they said they couldn't see anything leaking on gauge and was about the same as night before on Vacum Gauge?
So I said to them to change Leak Off Pipes AGAIN! And Fit a New Diesel Fuel Filter which they did, They told me to take it away and see how I get on? I also told them I noticed one of them White Rings which go into DIESEL FUEL FILTER HOUSING IS LOOSE ON PIPE? They told me that wouldn't Cause this Problem.....
Well I tried that and it was exactly the same and I phoned them back and now there saying it could be the Injector Seals - Which the Top Mechanic said he can change them without taking Cam right out just lifts it alittle with Tool but will still cost around £165-£200??
I do not want to keep spending Money on this Problem and Still not Fix it! Can anybody help me with this problem??
Cheers Gaz.
