Vauxhall Zafira
my Zafira has been playing up for a while now when its low on fuel in looses power only on a left turn. However it's been in 5 garages now and they haven't got a clue. It's a 1.6 fuel injected Zafira 1999 petrol - manual injectors have been cleaned and it's had a new exhaust, also had power steering fluid .All these things that have been done are suspected causes recommended by garages and it still has not stopped it .Can you help?

They seem to have a habit of clogging their EGRs which some owners solve by removing and isolating the EGR and reprogramming the ECU.

Compact yet can house seven people. Rearmost seats fold into floor. More versatile mid-row seating than previous model. Excellent diesel auto.
