Zafira Tourer - Service
« on: 22 August 2018, 12:53:11 »

Time for the Zafira to get a service, but I'm really tempted to do this DIY. Since I can do a V6 Omega, how hard can it be.  :D

Firstly I was tempted to use Vauxhall, so I could blag an Insignia for the day, to see what they are like, but all they would offer me is a Corsa.  :(

Secondly, they automatically added on a brake fluid change at cost of £40, because Vauxhall "highly" recommend it, but the chap kindly informed me he put it on there for me...... like he was doing me a favour. As it was not part of the 'Full Service' - So for £288, feel I should do this myself and do it right.

But I'm struggling for resources, appears to be nothing out there for Tourer, but it's better for the Insignia.

For oil filter location, is it same between Insignia and '14 Zaf Tourer? (2.0 CDTi 163bhp) eg:

On another note, why can't Vauxhall put the oil filter in a sensible location? VW it was easily accessible from engine bay, looks like I need to take wheel off to get access.

Air filter looks ok, coolant looks a pig to fill tucked away at the back.

Pollen filter looks like need to take glove box out, but cannot find any guides on this.

Oil filter easily accessible from underneath... Dedicated flap for it, but easier to drop the engine tray ;)

You might need to improvise a drain funnel though.

I posted up about my service a while back. £138 with a free MOT. Oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, that's enough for me.

Mr Tunnie is still young enough and slim enough to slide under a car.......unlike you. :)

I think he should do it himself for the satisfaction, and being tight as a ducks arse, the money he will save.

As you know, Opti, my car gets me from A to B, reliably. I'm not interested in Vx's 'special' oils or tyres that have a melting point of 500°C. And, funnily enough, none of my cars have ever let me down badly.

Most of my cars never had the pollen filter changed.

Think ECP's oil would be fine?

TRIPLE QX Engine Oil (Fully Synthetic (Low Saps C3) Engine Oil - 5W-30 - 5ltr)


As I recall, as Zaf has a DPF, oil has low Saps (to prevent ash) it will do.

As just priced up via ECP: air filter, oil filter, pollen filter, fuel filter (all MANN) and 5L of 5w30 oil.

For £73 delivered. Could do 3x services for cost of one local indie one.  :)

What can possibly go wrong Tunnie?  ::)  :)

Don't forget to order via a cashback site!  ;) 

Topcashback giving 3.67% for ECP and 3.15% for CP4L.  It all adds up!  :y
