One common cause of engine overheating in Vauxhall Zafira Life is a faulty or damaged radiator. It is important to regularly check the condition of the radiator and have it replaced if needed.

Another potential cause could be a malfunctioning thermostat. If the thermostat is stuck closed, the engine will not be able to regulate its temperature properly and can lead to overheating. Have a mechanic check and replace the thermostat if necessary.

Make sure to also check the condition of the fan and its electrical components. If the fan is not working properly, it can cause the engine to overheat. It may need to be replaced or the wiring may need to be fixed.

Additionally, it is important to regularly change the oil and keep it at the proper level. Low oil levels or old, dirty oil can cause the engine to overheat. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle.

Lastly, it is possible that the issue could be with the water pump. If the water pump is not functioning properly, it will not circulate coolant through the engine and radiator effectively. Have a mechanic check and replace the water pump if needed.
