I have a 2002 Zafira 1.6 Petrol.
it has been serviced every year at the dealer from which it was originally purchased, and I am now the second owner, it's down 85,000 miles.
Within two weeks of ownership the engine light on the dash came on solid, which the owners manual says indicates the emissions are outside of tolerance. I had a new exhaust fitted and the oxygen sensor was cleaned up and the light was reset. But it came on again the following day. But otherwise it operates just fine and the fuel consumption is as expected. She idles just fine and drives just fine. The only issue is a tendency to kangaroo a little when coming off from motorway driving into the urban environment, it's very brief and she soon settles again very quickly.
This weekend the engine cut-out on the m25, it turns out that for some reason the relay for the fuel pump is opening, turning off the power to the fuel pump and therefore cutting the engine, this consistently happens now as soon as she reaches normal running temperature i.e when the temp gauge on the dash is at the half way mark. I replaced the relay but this has had no effect. If i wedge the relay shut effectively bridging the circuit she operates as normal.
I will be taking her to the mechanic as soon as I am able in the next day or two. In the meantime has anyone else had a similar problem? and if so what turned out to be the solution?
Cheers.
