Problems and faults: Holden TT Zafira

  • For early Holden TT Zafira models, the timing chain for the 2.2-litre engine could snap due to the lubrication nozzle becoming blocked – this could be due to dirty engine oil and/or irregular servicing. From March 2002 (engine no. 11065400), the nozzle design was modified.
  • The ignition barrel could overheat and make it difficult to remove the ignition key – damage to the ignition key assembly could cause the starter motor to short-circuit and require replacement.
  • In isolated cases, the parking brakes on the rear wheels have failed to restrain the vehicle.
