[What's the verdict on the Vauxhall Combo Diesel, think to g]

Thanks for the updates.The garage have replaced the turbo, but worried they found plastic in the sump, they think it's from the timechain??.,I have been told its quite expensive to replace, so do I get ready for a hefty bill?? .So looking at the feedback, from you guys,the timechain, has reached that replacement time..I have not much evidence of oil changes in the service booklet, so I suppose the care hasn't been paid enough to the car. ,until now.,yours truly!.Oh the joys of motoring...cheers.The rest of the car is ok.,as Vauxhall's are.So anyone else had these problems with their Zafira, Would be interested. to know.Thanks in advance Mr.K.Gilbey

Hi there,everyone, need Vauxhall brains for this next question, Timing chain on Zafira Diesel. What's the life expected onthis component??

Been given that ,the garage has found piece of plastic, which they say might have  come off the chain??.while fitting my turbo.. Apparently its a big job,/other end of the engine, numerous parts to remove to get to the chain.

So my delima, is a 112,000,timechain in need of replacing/or can we run the car.,without worrying about it??.I'm now getting a bit uncomfortable with different stories,so guys what's the crack..?

Cheers

Try to spraying wd40 around the cap,might just unlock the catch,/ or try double locking with all doors shut.,then give a sharp tap on cover,,I have the same problem with my Zafira

Strange,that I have had that kind of" noise in my Zafira, a mechanic told me it's the front suspension struts ,that aren't seated?.But like you stated ,the weather was quite damp that night,!.

I recently purcased a used Zafira Tourer 2014 reg 1.4 petrol turbo. Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed some intermittent creaks and clonks from the rear. The noises don't seem to be dependent on braking, accelerating, going over bumbs or repeat at regular intervals. My local MOT Centre have looked at the car and assured me that its not a brakes, wheels or a suspension issue but can't figure out what the cause is. The noises are more likely to be present after a cold, overnight start driving at irregular speeds on local roads, less likely when driving at a regular speed on dual carriageways or motorways.
