Is that the one at the bottom of the radiator? 🤔 I think we're talking about the same one. If so I think it's just a matter of removing the old one (I would expect to lose some coolant at this point) and replacing with a new working one.
@@_LuisS Hi Luis S, when I checked for faults through pressing the brake pedal and the accelerater together, few faults codes appeared. after charging the Coolant Thermostat Valve and housing. The fault codes still there. the code is P2182-17, P0597-61, p0115-14 what does. these mean. I would greatly appreciate if can comment on this please.
@edward3031 from what I can find first code looks like it needs to cleared. The other 2 are thermostat related which I assume you meant you changed it. Be sure to bleed the system because the last code comes up if coolant doesn't reach temperature within certain time.
My car is very cold garage tall me change thermostat another garage tall me change heater matrix another one tall me charge radiator,I’m confused please help me asap
On Vauxhalls it's very common that the heater matrix is caput. But could well be the thermostat. And unless it's leaking directly from radiator I wouldn't think it's radiator. Easy way to diagnose heater matrix is let the car run and warm up and check the pipes going into bulkhead. Those pipes go into heater matrix. If both pipes are hot mean that the matrix is working fine. I would then look into replacing thermostat if heater matrix pipes are hot..
hi thanks for the video very helpful. I am looking to buy a thermostatic valve and seen some on eBay for around £18. is it ruffly what you paid for? jus to compare. thanks
Hey there.. I really don't remember anymore how much I paid for it.. But I don't see it being more than 30 quid.. Just make sure you're buying a good unit from ebay if you're going that route.
Hello bro !I have the same Zafira B 1.9 cdti and this winter ( i am from Romania by the way), i have an issue withe the temperature in interior of the car! Even on HI or climate set to 28 degrees on AUTO, the car brings me just could air! :( Sometimes brind just a litlle bit hot air but in the past 1 mounth just could air! I trow apart the dasboard and all the cables is thight togheter in the right places !Also in board the temperature rise some 88-96 degrees but not hot air! The radiator in the interior in the car is HOT when the engine is also hot, but not bring the air tot the cabin !Just could air! Do you ecperience the same thing !PLease help me !Best Regards !Do you thinck is the THERMOSTAT broken ?
It could be.. If thermostat is stuck open or close it could be the cause of cold air inside the cabin. You can always remove the thermostat and test it with hot water to see if it opens, or it could already be stuck open like this one. Then you'll know for sure.. But I would bet my money on a faulty thermostat.
Hello I hope you can help me I’m having a lot of issues with my thermostat housing I need help ? Basically before Christmas I was getting the engine light come on the dash I had the code reader and it told me it was the temperature sensor I got that done then a week later it came on again and told me engine temperature sensor malfunction so I cleaned the code and was ok about 4 days then I noticed the driveway under the car was wet I looked and took it to a local garage near me I Booked the car in for a new thermostat and housing all in one piece when the car was there thay gave me a call and told me they got sent the rong one from there supplier so it was put back on but was leaking a lot more I took the car to 4 different garages and they all got sent the rong part the part I need is what you replaced but the question is what about the egr valve where dose that go because the one you put on don’t look like the egr can fit aswell. Please help
Does the car still throw the engine light on? I don't see a thermostat throwing that code. However, if thermostat is faulty and not operating as it should you could have that same code because the coolant doesn't reach temperature and sensor throws de code on the dash. It helps knowing how you're thermostat looks like. That way you can pick up your own part knowing you got the right one. I always pick up my parts and confirm at the counter its the right one. I bought this part from euro car parts and they gave me right one first time. I have not seen an egr valve on this car. But I wasn't paying attention because the issue wasn't egr. And looking online there's people saying that zafira B don't have an egr valve. Don't know how true or false that statement is. Hope this helps a little and you get your issue sorted...
The factory fitted hose clips ,I replace them with Jubilee clips, the better ones bolt tighteners and you should be able to get most sizes at most auto shops. A tip for heat shield ,put a longer bolt in with a nut fully backed off to the bolt head ,then tighten the bolt to the required turns using the nut to lock down the heat shield. It will give you enough movement on the shield without having to remove completely.their 3 in total to replace
That's actually a good idea.. I didn't even think of it. Jubilee clips are way easier to work with. ☺ As for the heat shield just bending the corner gave me enough space to reach the intended screw. Then I just bent it back into its normal shape. 👍🏾
@@_LuisS glad it helped, a word of warning with Zafira's don't ever buy one with the EGR valve built into the cooler housing they are a nightmare to find if you need to replace,new they cost around £500.00 2nd hand they are rare and normally come from Latvia.they should have named this model "Za nightmare" lol. They don' even come come with a temperature. gauge.
@jameskiets-oe5up yeah. The fan kicks in at 112. The way vauxhall says you bleed the system is by getting the fans to kick in, which I did by revving the engine till that temperature. Then you let the car cool down completely and top up the coolant after it's cool.. Although the car had hot air the same day my sister inaw said only after 2 days the car was proper hot. So much so they had to turn the heat down. 🤣 😅
thanks, will bleed the system just replace the thermostat looking at your vids, I searched everywhere what is correct operating temperature for this car? can you please let me know thanks great content
@jameskiets-oe5up I would assume it's in the high 80s mid 90s. But I'm just guessing because since then I haven't checked the car and my sister in law said car is all good.
Maybe you can help me No engine light No code But after a good drive i switch off engine Fan will come on for about 2 to 3 mins and will tirn off Its happening all the time Hope you can help me 2007 zafira b 1.6
I would look first at relays. And also the wiring that goes to the engine temperature sensor which is the plug I disconnected from the thermostat. Ultimately I would replace thermostat. This particular car had the thermostat stuck open, yours must be stuck closed and fans kick in all the time too bring temperature down due to thermostat not opening when it should. Try pressing brake pedal and accelerator at the same time and turn IGNITION ON. Then write down codes on the dash and search what they mean. That might help you pinpoint the problem.
Hi Sir, thanks for the guidance on the cooling thermostat valve. How do change the ECT sensor on vauxhall zafia b 2012 please?
Is that the one at the bottom of the radiator? 🤔

Hi, where did you get the thermostat from thanks

That's where I get almost all my parts from..

what is normal temp range for this car zaf 2007?
Not to sure about this. But before bleeding system was sitting steady at 87°.
I never checked afterwards, after having hot air again...
my car temp stays between 100 to 110 at 112 the fan kicks is this normal? how to bleed the after changing the thermostat
@jameskiets-oe5up yeah. The fan kicks in at 112.
