Problems starting an Opel Zafira 2017: Suspected defective main relay of the engine control unit

Car won't start

Hey guys, there's a rather strange problem with my 2017 Opel Zafira with a gasoline engine. The car just won't start anymore. I suspect that the main relay of the engine control unit has given up the ghost. Have any of you ever experienced the same thing? How did you get the problem fixed at the garage and what was your experience? Would be grateful for any tips!

Hi, this sounds like a problem I had with my 2019 Opel Astra. I have some experience with cars, but I'm not an expert. When I had the problem, I went to the garage. The mechanic there realized that the main relay was faulty. To fix the problem, I had to pay about 120.0 euros. So far I have had no further problems with it. If you tell me more about your car, like mileage and fuel used, I might be able to help you better. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your quick reply and your willingness to help! My little darling now has 142744 km on the clock and runs on gasoline. Last inspection was in January. The 120 euros sounds like a fair solution, I hope that's what it will be for me. I'll pop into the garage on Monday. I wish you continued trouble-free driving with your Astra!

Hey, I'm glad to hear your feedback! 142744 km is quite a distance, but with good care, our Opels should easily be able to cope with that. Given the mileage and your regular inspection, I would definitely suspect the main relay. In my experience, it's often the engine control unit at such a high mileage. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it won't be too expensive. Please keep me informed and let me know what the garage thinks. Drive carefully!

Your words reassure me a little, thank you for that! I'll keep you posted and let you know what the garage says. You're right, we have to take good care of our Opels so that they don't let us down. Your tips were very helpful. I'll try to sort it out as soon as possible. Until then, you drive carefully too!
