Zafira allergic for left turns…

Sep 26, 2006 2 Replies

Hi folks. My Zafira 2.2 (2003) runs perfectly when the fuel tank is full but every time= the tank is half empty it begins to misfire during left turns. As the tank gets more emp= ty the problem gets progressively worse. By the time the low fuel light comes on left t= urns cause a total loss of power or the engine is cut off. Driving straight or turning r= ight does not cause any problem. =


After sucking their thumbs for a couple of hours the local service tried to solve the p= roblem by changing the battery cable (suspecting a power steering problem =E2=80=93= even if it makes little sense) and then the fuel filter=E2=80=A6 Any ideas?

Probably a cracked fuel pick up pipe inside the fuel tank. If there is no problem with a full tank then it might be a good place to start.
