Hi,
Has anyone experienced clutch judder issues on the Zafira 1.8?
We've just had our 2007 Zafira repaired for £1100 at a Vauxhall dealer!
Regards,Robert

Hi Could you describe the symptons? Is it simply a judder during driving? Im experiencing a whining noise during driving which I think is either geabox or clutch related...

I get that problem only on pulling away , but this intermittent, could happen for a few weeks then not have clutch judder for months , cant be the way i drive the cars and my missus get the same problem

I get the same problem when pulling away more when i have just started it, when the engine warms up no problems, i just give it a few more revs when cold this seems to help. Mine is a 1.6 on a 56 plate

The clutch friction plate/presssure plate and flywheel all need changing for the modified one from VX. Dont expect this work to be completed for less than 1k+. Its a known issue. Personally id just live with it.

I've had my 2006 1.6 Zafira for a couple of months and alway had problems when the clutch was cold, BUTI have managed to stop the clutch judder by accident.

My Father-in-law got bogged down in a muddy field at the weekend and asked me to tow him out. Using a long tow-rope I kept my Zaf on a hard surface. Not wanting to snatch at the rope I kept the engine revs up and slipped the clutch with no wheel spin. When I finally got him out I could smell the clutch which had obviously overheated. Since then I've had no judder at all.
