Common problems and easy repairs on a 2000 Zafira

The 2000 Opel Zafira DTI Life is relatively easy to maintain. Many of the headlights are accessible by reaching behind the bulb housing or prying their housing out, which will allow for reliable changes. Both fuse boxes are quick to access and the interior one comes provided with a fuse puller, so electrical troubleshooting shouldn’t be a problem. Changing the engine air filter is easy to do, as its housing disengages without the use of any tools.

However, the 2000 Opel Zafira DTI Life does have some challenging aspects. The entire glove box housing, as well as other fasteners and panels, will need to be removed to access the cabin air filter, which won’t allow for reliable filter changes. Reaching for the front fog light may be a problem given its obstructed access. The spare tire is located underneath the vehicle, which runs the risk of rusting to the undercarriage.
