I recently purchased a used Vauxhall Zafira Life and have noticed that it frequently stalls when driving at low speeds, like when I am in stop-and-go traffic. I haven't had any issues with the engine or transmission, so I am confused as to what could be causing this. Any advice or solutions?
ReplyHi Samantha, this could be due to a faulty idle air control valve. This valve helps regulate the engine's idle speed, so if it is malfunctioning, it could cause stalling at low speeds. I recommend taking your Zafira to a mechanic for a diagnostic test to confirm the issue.
Hey Samantha, another possible cause could be a dirty or clogged fuel filter. This can restrict the amount of fuel reaching the engine, resulting in stalling. Try replacing the fuel filter and see if it improves your Zafira's performance.
Hi Samantha, I had a similar issue with my Zafira and it turned out to be a faulty throttle position sensor. This sensor is responsible for regulating the engine's speed and can cause stalling if it is not functioning properly. I suggest getting it checked by a mechanic and replacing it if necessary.
