Why does my Opel Zafira 3 emit vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s start our content page with the roots of this sort of problem on your car. You should already know that an engine, especially if it is ancient or if it has been driven quite a bit, can naturally vibrate without being a problem behind it. Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can bring about this form of impression, both at idle and when accelerating.

Let’s take the most interesting case for us in this content page. The fact that you suffer trembling on your Opel Zafira 3 during your acceleration periods, in this scenario you will have to examine the condition of some elements because a good number of elements can be at the beginning of these vibrations and whether or not you are unlucky a mix of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of components that can be involved.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Opel Zafira 3 is defective, it may bring about vibrations that you will feel when you accelerate at the moment it is activated.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may affect the behavior of your turbo and bring about vibrations that you may feel at the time of acceleration of your Opel Zafira 3.

If you only feel vibrations when you are idling on your Opel Zafira 3, please browse our content page focused on this problem to remedy your problem. If, however, you detect that your Opel Zafira 3 vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of elements to check:

  • EGR valve: Indeed this valve which manages the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and affect the evacuation of exhaust gases which can bring about Opel Zafira 3 vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will release the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working correctly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running properly.

So make sure to examine your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Opel Zafira 3 to your garage.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is generally easy to access and easy to take apart/clean. You can always look into it and clean it, for this see our content page on cleaning the EGR valve of an Opel Zafira 3.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very sensitive components and a few impurities may be enough to affect their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, simply replace it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will just have to replace it with a new one.

Now you have all the information you need to discover the source of the vibrations at acceleration on your Opel Zafira 3. If you don’t feel able to execute certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your mechanic.
