    Great news... I managed to fix the pump! :D Ordered the parts from eBay, took a couple of weeks to get to me, then had some delays getting to it. Also, I couldn't get that metal ball out to open up the hole to fill the pump with oil... tried a few different things that would only have damaged...

    Finally got to stripping the high pressure fuel pump yesterday and found that (as advised my evocarlos) i have a cracked diaphragm. So now I need to get the replacement diaphragms and take a swing at fixing it.

    Z22YH fuel pressure issue: feedback voltage and pressure values never change

    So, as advised by evocarlos, it turns out my pump is the problem... I have a cracked diaphragm. I took apart the pump yesterday (there are YouTube videos and a How-2 on the vectra-c forum that help greatly) ... and yes indeed it's a cracked diaphragm. Will order the replacements and attempt a...

    Z22YH fuel pressure issue: feedback voltage and pressure values never change

    once again, thanks for the help. your info has been invaluable to me. and i m sorry if it seems like i didn't take your info into consideration... i definitely did and all indications are still that the pump is the problem. But the thing that is puzzling me is that my fuel feedback pressure and...

    Once again ... Thank you for the great info. The above 2 lines pretty much sum up what the car feels like, and is doing. Ok, I can't measure the fuel pressure until i have an OpCom, but if I gently increase throttle, then the revs do pick up in line with my throttle position, but if I try to...

    This is such great info ... thanks! (... I'm clinging to hope that it's not the fuel pump! Say a prayer for me!) I had unrealistic expectations for how long it would take for the OpCom to arrive :( Probably gonna be a few weeks. So when you speak about these fuel pressure readings, you are...

    Ok, so after more reading I tried something... I disconnected the Fuel Pressure Regulator and the car immediately comes out of limp mode. I'm hoping this is the clear sign that the FPR being the issue. I'm lucky to have the Continental High Pressure Fuel Pump on my car. Anyways... I'm still...

    greetings from South Africa

    Thanks guys. The car does start and idle, but misfires. And it's in limp mode. Best I can gather so far from the symptoms and reading this and other forums (and a generic OBD2 scanner with Torque Pro) is that it's the Fuel Pressure Regulator. I have the Continental HPFP, so I'm lucky there. I...

    Here are my fault codes after using the "pedal test" method, since the OBD2 scanner + Torque Pro App doesn't seem to read all the fault codes. And I also made notes on what I think these fault codes mean after doing some Googling and reading forums. I will update these as i go with new info...

    Hello everyone! I’m brand new to the forum… All the way over here in South Africa. I recently bought a non-runner Zafira-B Panoramic with the Z22YH engine and auto transmission (AF20), and I’m hoping to DIY my way through the issues and get it running on a shoestring budget. You can imagine...

    greetings from South Africa

    Hello from South Africa!! I recently bought a Zafira Z22YH... It's a non-runner for the moment , but its the only one I could afford. My aim is to attempt DIY as much as possible until I run out of skills and online resources to guide me. Sadly, Zafira is not a popular car in SA, and the Z22YH...
