Afternoon all,
Hope you can offer some advice please.
My wife has a 2007 Zafira B 2.2 Direct Automatic.
The car was serviced a couple of days ago, but did not change the plugs.
I took it for an mot yesterday, which it passed. It struggled a bit on the emissions side, but the exhaust was found to be leaking slightly.
I drove it home, but within about 5 minutes of driving, it went into limp mode, which on an automatic is not good.
The spanner light is on but no EML. No DTC’s are stored or pending. Nothing shows doing the pedal test either.
It runs quite roughly, but not all the time. It goes into limp mode almost immediately after startup.
I’ve cleaned the plugs, visibly checked the coil pack and any sensors or connections. Also cleaned the pcv and breather. Noticed the coolant was a low.
However, when I removed the dipstick with the engine running, it made a noise like a kazoo type thing. With the dipstick removed the engine still wouldn’t rev.
We’re supposed to be using it to go away next weekend so any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
