Just a quick question, i have a 1.6 zafira 1999 my & now & again the power steering fails & the battery light flickers when this happens then goes out. the only way to get it to work is to switch off & start again. Also when driving it failed & all guages failed on dash & now the temp guage is reading on the wrong side of the guage. ie if it were a fuel guage it would be full rather than half. any ideas please, i suspect alternator/battery??
Hi,
I had exactly the same problem last year. It turned out to be the alternator failing. On my fault, if the engine revs went up over about 2000 rpm the alternator stopped outputting so the battery warning light came on, the steering stopped (this is because it has an electro-magnetic controlled drive to the steering pump from the engine) plus the other symptoms you mention.
Vauxhall qoted about £400 to replace the alternator. If you can find a local altermator / starter motor repair specialist (try yell.com) and you can get the alternator off and on yourself (fairly straight forward from undermeath (I have 2000 1.8 model))you can save a packet. I had mine repaired plus a couple of hours DIY getting the thingoff and on for less than £70.
Hey
Just picked up a 2002 zafira gsi, pretty rough round the edges but a decent enough car for age.
I'm from the Doncaster area but travelled to Kent for this lol.
Here's a few pics.
My vauxhall zafira b 08 has some sort of weird electric fault, the clocks and dash keep going off and on while driving, but if I disconnect the battery and then reconnect it it stops doing it and the battery starts to charge properly again but after about a day or two it stats happening again...
Hi everyone just wondered if anyone has any ideas how to fix my washers not working on my 2012 tourer Zafira checked the fuse that seems ok and no noise from the pump either
Thanks if you can help
Hi Everyone
I'm new to your site and am in need of some help
I have a 2006 Zafira B 1.9cdti 120 8V.
It was a very unloved example so decided to rescue it and give it another chance of life knowing it would make a perfect family car. I replaced all the brakes and complete suspension then...
