Vauxhall (Opel) Zafira B 2011 Surge control valve replacement A17DTJ 1.7cdti Bosch

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is to solve the engine surging, jumping, seeking. At idle if you hear/see the engine revving up and down then it is likely the Surge control valve. Here are the steps to replacing it which is an easy job.
This is the diesel 1.7 CDTI ecoflex engine (I believe it's the same on Astra and Meriva) A17DTJ engine code (diesel, 1.7 CDTI, 110 HP, DPF installed)
Update 14/07/2020 : This is an updated part as previous ones have changed/gone
OEM/OE code DCRS301110 Denso diesel fuel suction control valve

    Hi Andy. Thanks for the video. I had exactly this problem on my 2012 Astra J 1.7 CDTi. Bought a replacement SCV off eBay and fitted it yesterday. Bit of a faff getting access to it, but replacing it has done the job and no need to re-calibrate the ECU or anything like that. The surging has gone and the car pulls much stronger from cold when moving off - previously it felt down on power when pulling away from cold, but I'd put this down to general deterioration of the engine, but not so. Now drives like a new car! Cheers. Graham

So thumbs up all around... I think this has been an issue for a while. It was like it when I bought the car.

    Could be your fuel pump, the same thing happened to my zafira b diesel . After testing most things out the mechanic came to the fuel pump and changed it. Voila the car start working again, however the surging issues have persisted and sometimes it makes a rough engine idle sound by going lower in revs than normal . When I accelerate the revs it goes back to normal surging . I don't know how to find out which scv I need. I am not good with replacing parts etc .

Do not take plastic cover of the rocker cover, the fuel return pipes T peices are easily broken and cost £70 to replace as it comes as one unit (ouch). Mine came with a gasket, rubber seals, as its arkward to hold the scv in place I places a strip of masking tape across the tin seal, once into position and the new bolts in place it can be easily removed. When i started it back up it did the same lumpy idle, I turned it off and restarted, idle was back to normal. Hope this helps

    Yes, I believe it's one and the same on the 1.7cdti ecoflex engine. The Surge control valve is directly on the back of the high pressure fuel pump so my guess is it's also called the regulator as it's a solenoid that can pulse to vary the pressure.

    Hi David, not sure which noise you mean! Initially there is a slight squeak from the wet/damp aux belt. There is also the strange 'turkey gobble' noise which is a feature of these. It's the diesel fuel in the fuel filter assembly and comes and goes, it's very normal (Many Vaux techs confirm) and does go away briefly after a filter change but comes back days later.

It's part of the crankcase ventilation system and if blocked it can cause issues. The surge control valve is used for controlling the pressure on the fuel rail from the high pressure pump.

Limp mode is normally sensor or computer variable out of range, get codes read again after limp mode as could be all sorts causing it. If limp mode clears itself then it's a temporary fault such as turbo actuator position problems, egr still could be sticky. Too many thing unfortunately. Good luck, hope you sort it Emily

    Nope, blue smoke at idle is not a good sign, that's normally oil being burnt. Check oil levels, see if it's way too high, if so it needs draining and all oil relplacing as diesel has mixed into oil. Otherwise you're looking at possible turbo seal failure (oil leaking into intake) or worse

    Hi have same issue whre the idle is hunting. Bought a £30 scv valve and the car wouldn’t start but when unplugged it it started… anyway I put the original part back in and it’s hunting on idle again however when I unplug it then it idles nicely… . Any ideas as to shall I leave the plug in or out or shall I just get a genuine part that costs over £200. Thanks

    Hi, no the surge control valve doesn't cause any change to smoke, etc, it only causes the rev hunting or kangaroo'ing. Pure white smoke suggests water vapour, white with a tint of blue would point to oil. You need to get that checked out ASAP if it's doing either constantly. Check your coolant bottle for any oil residue, and your oil filler cap for a creamy white substance, could be head gasket, oil cooler, or all sorts of things but all could be bad.
