Apologies if this has been discussed before. I have a 54 plate 1.6 Zafira manual. Has anyone experienced a judder when pulling away in 1st gear? The clutch bite is good and runs really smooth when the clutch is fully up and driving in any gear, but in 1st gear when pulling away normally (not rushing or trying to speed off at the lights) there is a horrible judder/hop, which disappears once the clutch is fully released and pulling along. Difficult to explain but the best way to control it is constantly adjust the biting point and throttle, when you pull away applying approx 1500 rpm it starts to judder. Dip the clutch slightly, apply a bit more gas and balance the biting point is the best way to juggle a smooth pull away. It happens almost all the time but I would say a bit worse after an hour or so of driving and only does it in 1st gear when pulling away. Especially bad when doing a hill start. I was wondering if it may be a slave cylinder, or the flywheel needs balancing, or even a worn engine mount?? But is this a common problem in this underpowered model? I previously had an 05 plate with the same engine and manual also, I recall it never being easy and smooth on pulling away. Maybe I've just had bad luck! Any ideas would be much appreciated. Cheers.

We live inside the ULEZ that’s inside the M25 and my Insignia is NOT compliant so only use it for towing my boat a few times a year paying £12:50 per day. I have never had any problems with the towbar or electrics and the car battery still holds its charge. Hopefully on 2nd May Mr Khan will be voted out and Susan Hall will be Mayor of London and she will BAN THE ULEZ on day one. We can then drive the Insignia as usual. Please all vote for SUSAN HALL to be mayor of London. Cheers Dave

Thanks John, I had seen something mentioned about the throttle position, but brushed it off as I assumed if that was the issue, it would have the same symptoms at every position. However, I think I'll delve deeper into it and see what I can see. Hope I come back with some good news.

Hi Everyone, Just after some advice on my Insignia Grand Sport 1.6 Diesel, I keep getting the Engine code P0401 EGR Flow Insufficient - I do a lot of motorway miles and tried everything from driving in high revs to spraying egr cleaner as advised by the tin. If I clear the code it won't come back on for a while and then it will. Only thing I haven't tried is removing the EGR Valve and pipes giving it a good scrub, would this work or am I wasting my time and its goosed, needing replacing. Thanks in advance for advice.

2003 1.8 16v vectra gets up to temperature but if driving the temperature drops to the very bottom of the gauge. I am just wondering why this is and what will fix the problem. Even if the car has been driven for an hour there is no hot air coming through the vents if I turn them on.

I have a friend who got a broken cam belt on his 2003 1.6 8v Astra and I wondered if this is lightly to have bent the valves

I have a vectra c with z22yh engine, beleive it or not I am having some fuel issues. White smoke, strong smell of fuel, mis firing and undrivable but it occasionally clears and runs fine. I beleive I should have a constant voltage to the injectors and the othe side switched to ground. If I'm right, my first question is what voltage should I have? secondly should this be ignition on or engine running or both. And finaly to clarify this is to battery negative?

Absolutely spot on, vacuum filled the system, got circulation flow back to the header...ran the motor for about 10 mins then the fan went off...no head damage either!!
