Vauxhall Zafira 2002 elegance automatic transmission problem
Hello everyone.So , the Mrs Zafira is playing up again.
Its an automatic transmission , and every so often seems to get stuck at 40MPH.Sometimes 3 or 4 times in the space of the journey, sometimes just once while out.
Revs dont go up or down and power seems to drop. Then if you take your foot of the throttle pedal and then put it back down , the car seem to drop a gear and get going again. We have taken it to a garage and typically , when they took it for a test drive , it didn't happen.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could be please?
Thanks. First of all do the brake pedal test to check for fault codes....
Ignition off, press accelerator and brake pedal together then turn on the ignition without starting the engine and watch the speedo mileage window for fault codes to show up, if there are codes it will display them with ECN above....when a row of zero appears the code reading has finished...if zero appears instead of codes then there are no codes to display.
Look up any codes found on the internet.
When I've had mystery problems with conventional auto gearboxes they are usually fixed by changing the gearbox oil and the internal filter. Thanks.
With the break pedal test, where exactly are the codes shown?
On the speedometer it's self?
The dot matrix display on the dash where the clock ect isis knackered and didn't show anything.... Codes are shown where the mileage is displayed, on the speedometer, yes. Thanks.
That display is also broken
Think the car has got to go.
It's not just at 40mph eitherIt's at all different speed. If they can't read the mileage, would that fail an MOT? Not a failure, they just record it on the certificate as "mileage not displayed." Garage looked at it today
They say code on the ecu is saying an airflow sensor
They can't promise this would fix the problem.
Is it a likely cause if the problem? Oh and apparently it can happen at any speedand not all the time
In fact every time its been looked at it hasn't done it.... I suppose a sudden loss of power could cause your gear box to inexplicably change down when reapplying the accelerator. Getting the air flow sensor sorted will certainly be a lot cheaper than the gear box data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
