I drive a 2019 Grandland X. I got it serviced from the main dealer in June. The following day I got "Engine Oil Pressure Fault -STOP THE CAR" fault and lost power. I stopped and started and fault was gone. This happened every second day, first thing in the morining only. I returned the car to the dealer and they said they fixed it (oil cap not secure and air getting in). However it continued and then sometimes twice in the morning. Returned to main dealer and they kept it for a few days. They said it was fixed and just needed software upgrade. Now its happening 6 or 7 times a day usually first thing in the morning and also on acceleration passing someone out. The dealer cant take a look for another week. The dealer is not admitting that whatever happened was as a result of the service. But I find it hard to believe that it started happining the day after a full service. Can anyone help?? It is quiet dangerous loosing power on an overtake and then having to immediately get to the road edge to stop and start again.

It's only my theory as to what has happened, but it makes sense to me!

I've just had this on my 2018 Grandland X. Started with "Engine Fault requires repair" each time i drove the car, Which the diagnostics machine didn't pick up so they put it down to a software update required. Then i started getting "Engine oil Fault Stop the Car". on the 2nd trip armed with that knowledge they said Vauxhall accept it is a known flaw that pieces of the timing belt break off and effect the oil pump, so they are going to change the timing belt. They advised the car must not be driven, and they are going to have the car in for a week! If you get this make sure thy take it in ASAP and don't let them fob you off.

If they don't, it won't fix the low pressure as the oil pick up will still be blocked!

Hello. Did you get anywhere with this? We're having the same problem, but our oil level does drop. This problem also started shortly after a full service. Cheers

As long as the oil level is between the max & min marks on the dipstick, that won't affect the oil pressure.
What engine is in your car, and what mileage has it covered?
If you have the Peugeot petrol engine, there is a known problem with the cam belt shredding and the bits blocking the oil pick up in the sump. It's a silly design, with the cam belt running in the engine oil.

It's a well known issue,even if it's out of warranty i'd push hard for a Vx contribution to the cost,
there are stories all over the net about the issue,for example

Engine Oil Pressure Too Low warning
I have a 2018 Vauxhall Crossland x 1.2turbo. My engine management light came on saying it needed a repair and then the engine oil pressure too low sign came on. The car is serviced under a Vauxhall service plan. Has anybody had this kind of issue? Is there any known issues with the Crossland...

If you have a full Vauxhall service history, push for a goodwill contribution, as this is a known common fault with these engines.
Morning
There are other threads regarding this issue throughout the forum as VALER states in short it appears that Vauxhall have in some cases paid all the costs of the repairs including it appears when out of warranty .A decent service history( not just main dealer ) should be enough for a claim and full repair at no cost
As above and on the other threads THIS IS A KNOWN FAULT .

I have just had this happen to me on my 2018 Grandland, whilst overtaking an articulated Lorry, to be honest **** myself as it cut out in to limpmode, i rolled in to layby luckily enough. Stopped the car and restarted and it was ok. I'v booked in with Arnold Clarke, car is on a 4yr lease and warranty run out end of November, but reading these forums this seems a problem with this Peugeot engine, something about the wet belt syndrome!! Should these vehicles not be on recall to sort problem if its ongoing ? I rang Vauxhall customer service and they arranged a diagnostics with Arnold Clarke and said they would ring me when it is carried out....What are Vauxhall like if they are aware of these problems and warranty has just finished.

I haven't got a car with one of these horrible engines, but there is plenty of evidence available to support a claim for a goodwill payment.
These engines are used in many of the Peugeot Citroen Vauxhall ranges (probably others as well), and all suffer the same problems.
Also, I would have thought that anyone should be able to claim against the dealer who originally sold the car, under the sale of goods act, as the vehicle clearly isn't fit for purpose if it won't last at least six or seven years, having regard to the price of the vehicle.
If it was me, and the manufacturer wouldn't offer a goodwill payment, I would be seeking legal advice!

So basically I’ve just had this issue rectified with photo proof from the mechanic. my grandland x was doing the same issue (on the overtake) or even every 2.5/3 thousand revs. The issue is where the “wet belt” is kept in a mechanical part there’s a hole where the oil comes through and the hole was blocked/clogged by melted debris and hard oils.
This was was making the oil drip a few drops at a time instead of being a constant flow (as he said) which then the engine cuts off as it protects the car by causing no further damage to the engine. Basically he fixed it by getting the part out and poking a screwdriver through it and cleaning out the debris and it’s back up and running amazing. Costs around £200 and Takes around 30mins to do. I got my car serviced while it was there and it came to £320. Hope this helps as when I searched I saw loads of hopeless answers
Glad you got it sorted. I am having the same with my 68 plate grandland.
How did your mechanic know what to look for? I've mentioned it to a few but they keep saying first step is to plug it into the computer but I don't think this needs when I assume it's the same belt issue.

Hi..new to the forum... I am having the same problem with my 68 plate Grandland x , as the wet belt has frayed blocking the slump I believe.
I need to understand what actions I need to take next. As currently I am left without a vehicle... Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
