Is it normal for my Vauxhall Zafira Life to have a slight hesitation when accelerating?

I've noticed that when I press on the gas pedal, there is a slight hesitation before the car starts to accelerate. It's not a drastic delay, but it's noticeable. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Yes, this is a normal characteristic of the Vauxhall Zafira Life. The car is equipped with a drive-by-wire system, which means that the accelerator pedal is connected to the engine via electronic sensors instead of a physical link. This can result in a slight delay before the engine responds to the pedal inputs. However, if the hesitation becomes more pronounced or you experience any other issues, it's best to have it checked by a mechanic.

I have a Vauxhall Zafira Life and I've experienced the same hesitation. After some research, I found out that it's a common issue with this model. Some suggest that it could be due to carbon build-up in the throttle body. You can try cleaning it or have a mechanic do it for you. If the problem persists, it's best to have it checked by a professional.

I had the same problem with my Vauxhall Zafira Life. The cause was a faulty throttle position sensor. Replacing it solved the issue for me. It's best to have a mechanic diagnose the problem to avoid unnecessary repairs.
