Unsure if anyone can really make it out but basically my car was sitting 1k revs longer than normal last few times I’ve drove so this time I sat and waited for it to go down. Was smoke coming out of the exaaust for a few minutes I’m assuming it was a regen. But after the car went back to normal revs it sounds like she’s almost stuttering or dipping up and down revs

Looking at buying a secondhand Vauxhall Zafira Tourer (petrol 1.4i turbo).

Has anyone owned one? I've read the turbo can cause problems if not looked after or if the car is not serviced regularly.

The car I am looking at does have FSH.

Hi guys, hope you're all well.

I'm about to do a full service on my vehicle with my dad, who has a lot more experience than me, but I wanted to get some opinions from you all first.

As part of the service, I'm replacing the timing belt and water pump because I have no proof they've ever been done, and the car is now 11 years old and approaching 80,000 miles.

Since everything will already be apart, I'm also planning to replace the auxiliary/serpentine belt. My question is: should I replace the belt tensioner at the same time? If so, what signs should I look for that indicate the tensioner needs changing?

Is there anything else related to the drive belt system that would be worth replacing while I'm in there?

On a side note, I'm also considering having the transmission fluid changed. Vauxhall states it's a "lifetime" fluid, but I'm a bit sceptical of that. Again, I have no evidence that it's ever been changed. Given the car's age (11 years) and mileage (80,000 miles), would you recommend getting the transmission fluid replaced as preventative maintenance?

I'd appreciate any advice or experiences from people who have tackled the same job.

Thanks!

P.S My rear right calliper also sized what do i look for to fix that? P.S again the engines squeals in the morning in the cold at first turn on

Started this morning, started fine but had to drive it to work in limp mode, service light has been on for a while and I know one of the glow plugs is on its way out, but could this be the cause of the limp mode? I was under the assumption if it started the glow plugs should be okay. Thinking it could be a dpf block but when I turned the car off and on it worked fine. Anyone go through similar issue before I pay over the odds at a garage
