Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
04 zafira just had full service and mot.has one broken coil over spring on front,went day after mot!! Anyway,for a while when accelerating in first or second, the car sounds very throaty and vibrates in passenger side when accelerating then stops when up to speed. Today,it has started to make what is describe as a k icky or clunk noise when the revs are dropped off suddenly and in gear with the clutch up. Like a knock. Pushing clutch in or out doesn't make a noise,just when the power is stopped the engine seems to clunk once. Not when putting power on.also,only when engine cold???? Any ideas pleaseeeeeee

Possibly dual mass flywheel failure ?

The knocking has stopped ,but on inspection,the rear engine mount,I think that's what it is,that is attached to gear box near steering rack,you can see right through it!!! Cod this be the problem??? The gears are fine,just vibrates loads under load in first and second gear and if you swerve car about,the noise changes??

As states,my 04 2ltr dti Zafira is starting to get on my nerves.had full service, needed a new shock.replaced.next day another shock went,then both engine mounts bottom had gone so had these replaced and now engine management light keeps co u g in.nirmally at start up or when pulling away.will eventually go off,or if I turn off then restart engine it will stay off.goes into limo mode when on.i have has the cap off that covers the egr mechanism and it was sticking so cleaned this and it worked for a week but now engine management keeps coming on normally on start up .i am but worried as firstly its the family car,4 kids and at moment can't afford any more car bills.and have read that this problem could be so so many things.where can I start to do what I can to sort issue?? Oh,and yesterday, for no reason, started car and the traction control light came on for ten minutes aswell?? I hate vauxhal s now.help
