The Opel Zafira has a so-called “Flex7”-seat system; of the seven seats, only the driver’s seat is not foldable. That makes the interior of the Zafira is very flexible in use. For the sportier rider, there is good news in the form of the Zafira OPC. That is, after the Astra, the first model that the OPC treatment. The Zafira OPC was even faster than a VW Golf GTI on the Nurburgring!

Issues

• Check if there is a spare wheel present, this depends on the car, and is therefore often got stolen.
• 1.9 CDTi: the dpf will still have problems, which ultimately can result in the car being unable to start. The turbo’s would even give up the ghost on this engine, as well as the oil pump, the flywheel and the alternator are prone to malfunction.
• The 1.8-litre petrol engines for the oliezeefje in the nokkenasversteller after the inrijperiode is not deleted. This causes a to, rattling sound. The roadside assistance can this sifter is easy to remove, and actually there is nothing to worry about. In any case, you can this is not the car to blame, at the workshop where the strainer is not timely removed.
• The 1.6 petrol and the lightest diesel can you best avoid, the Zafira is not the lightest and with a relatively small block, it is a less nice car.
• The vending machines have a heat exchanger in the radiator, sometimes leaking a lot of coolant in the gearbox so this was killed. If the automatic transmission is not smooth turns.

And the electronics are sensitive, so:

• Check whether all dashboardlampjes do it, and also make sure that the windshield wipers in all modes do what they need to do.
• Check whether the central locking is working properly, especially the kofferdekslot do cures to show.
• The radio also has still inclined themselves to put on, so the battery can be drawn.
