The Vauxhall Zafira Mk2, also known as the Zafira B, is the sort of car bought by people who have lots of backsides to put on seats, so its seven seats are ideal. But of course, if your family is big enough to need seven seats, then the day-to-day cost of living must be starting to sting a bit. And that’s where Haynes can lend a helping hand, because we can help you diagnose the common problems your Zafira is likely to suffer, and show you how to get it back on the road as cheaply as possible.

The Vauxhall Zafira is well known for having suffered issues with its heater blower resistor, which can fail and cause a fire. In the original recall, the fix wasn’t carried out properly, so the car has had to be recalled a couple of times since, to get it sorted once and for all.

The Vauxhall Zafira B suffers a problem in which the engine can suddenly stall when driving, and then will not restart. The car will also not respond to accelerator inputs.

Driving along only to find that your engine has cut out and won’t restart is somewhat less than optimal, but that’s sometimes happen with the Vauxhall Zafira Mk2.

Owners have reported that the Vauxhall Zafira can suffer and issue that causes a sticky gearshift action between third and fourth gears. They’ve also noted that when driving along between 1800rpm and 2800rpom, there can be a scraping noise from underneath.

In both, the solution is to remove the gearbox and take it to an expert for repair. Then refit it yourself. You will save a vast amount of cash on the labour costs involved in the removal and replacement.

Again, we can show you how to remove and replace the ECU, and how to trace the wires with our comprehensive wiring diagrams. They’re all in the relevant chapter of your Haynes Zafira manual.

Not knowing how much fuel your car has left in it, is one of motoring’s great gambles. At some stage you’re going to come a cropper and end up stopped at the side of the road. Vauxhall Zafira owners sometimes face this problem, because the software in the instrument cluster unit can get itself all in a fluster.

The solution is to remove the cluster and take it to an expert for reprogramming. The good news is that removing the cluster is very easy indeed. Just follow our step-by-step guide in your Haynes Zafira manual and it’ll be out before you know it. And then back in again shortly after.

First of all, you need to check your Haynes Zafira manual to ensure that the parts have actually been fitted in the correct order (the intercooler should be attached to the radiator, and the condenser to the intercooler). This is shown in the manual, and if the components on your vehicle are in the wrong order, then we’ll show you how to fit them correctly. When doing so, you’ll need to replace the screw (part no: 11099561) and locking nut (part no: 90424093).

Most car manufacturers, as well as BMW, work with an open system, i.e. the independent aftermarket can install a suitable replacement battery without having to reprogram the vehicle electronics. However, manufacturers such as Audi use a closed system and assign so-called BEM codes for original batteries and original replacement batteries. The independent aftermarket is not able to provide this kind of code for replacement batteries.

PS: In Volkswagen Group repair workshops (Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW), calibration takes place via a guided function of the online diagnostic and information system (ODIS Offboard Diagnostic Information System). Data such as the BEM code, serial number and nominal capacity of the new original replacement battery are entered. In this way, the energy management system knows immediately that a new battery has been installed. The Volkswagen Group is currently able to enter any 10-digit serial number. The VW serial number is used for tracking the battery and for warranty purposes.

If the system is open, this tool is used to register the new battery in the on-board computer. In a closed system, the newly purchased replacement battery can even be configured by vehicles with BEM. Furthermore, standard or manufacturer-specific error codes are generally read out of the system or deleted. This is even after a voltage interruption during battery replacement and if the on-board computer in the vehicle was without power.

Even with Audi models which, unlike other brands, always ask for a code when changing batteries, the Banner Battery Service Tool (BBST) can generate the Battery Energy Management code (BEM code), so that the battery change is registered properly and various functions are not restricted. The Banner Battery Service Tool (BBST) also has a system check that checks the complete charging system including battery and alternator and contains an integrated product finder to identify the appropriate replacement battery.

Conclusion: Purchasing and BEM coding an original replacement battery instead of a replacement battery from the independent aftermarket – which does not have BEM coding – has only one short-term advantage: that the complete functionality of all systems is immediately available. Please note: The battery reaches this functionality without a BEM code, usually also after some time and various „trigger events“ (impulses, signals, e.g. starts, cold starts, cycles).Basically, changing a start-stop battery poses no safety risk.

If a high-quality replacement battery is installed, even without entering a BEM code, there is no safety risk, there is no risk of overcharging of the newly installed replacement battery, there is no increased battery wear, and the vehicle electronics or other components are not damaged. Nowadays, multi-brand diagnostic tools, such as the Banner Battery Service Tool (BBST) can carry out this so-called initialisation step for numerous car brands.

For A6, A8 and Q7 models with battery energy management from model year 2003/04, from 2010 almost all models with battery energy management and start-stop function (ultra) require configuration. Installing an original battery or original replacement battery and BEM coding. Without configuration or by installing a replacement battery from the free aftermarket, this may cause restrictions in the functionality and increased battery wear due to incorrectly functioning shut-off stages.

If the negative terminal (-) of the battery was disconnected during repair work or battery replacement on a car equipped with ISG function, the battery sensor must be recalibrated after the work has been completed.

If the negative terminal (-) of the battery was disconnected during repair work or battery replacement on a car equipped with ISG function, the battery sensor must be recalibrated after the work has been completed.

With all start-stop models, a configuration process only has to take place if no voltage maintenance (e.g. Memory Saver) is used. Otherwise, initialisation of various systems (electric windows, steering angle sensor, sunroof, clock and audio, tyre pressure monitoring) may be required. If the car is equipped with an automatic start-stop system, this should also be initialised. This means that the start-stop function is always available immediately after battery replacement.

It is absolutely necessary to configure all Porsche models, otherwise the start-stop function is not ready for operation. Without configuration or by installing a replacement battery from the free aftermarket, this may cause restrictions in the functionality and increased battery wear due to incorrectly functioning shut-off stages.

On models with a start-stop system (Ecomotive), the control unit that monitors the battery must be reset using a diagnostic unit. Installing an original battery or original replacement battery and BEM coding. Without configuration or by installing a replacement battery from the free aftermarket, this may cause restrictions in the functionality and increased battery wear due to incorrectly functioning shut-off stages.

For models with a start-stop system (GreenLine), the control unit that monitors the battery must be reset using a diagnostic unit. Installing an original battery or original replacement battery and BEM coding. Without configuration or by installing a replacement battery from the free aftermarket, this may cause restrictions in the functionality and increased battery wear due to incorrectly functioning shut-off stages.

For vehicles with battery energy management, i.e. all models with start-stop technology (BlueMotion), the configuration of the new battery is relevant. Installing an original battery or original replacement battery and BEM coding. Without configuration or by installing a replacement battery from the free aftermarket, this may cause restrictions in the functionality and increased battery wear due to incorrectly functioning shut-off stages.

Electric windows:Ignition ON (i.e. the electronic instrument cluster lights up on the display), but the engine remains OFF. Lower the window completely on the driver"s side, then close the window completely again and keep the button pressed for approx. 2 seconds after closing. This initialisation should also take place if the fuse has been changed or the plug on the window switch has been removed (e.g. when removing the door panel without disconnecting the battery). Often the operating instructions do not mention that this should be repeated for the other windows. However, it is nevertheless recommended to repeat this procedure for all other windows.
