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.

I will do my car has now been taken to a Vauxhall dealership
On the 18th
This below ⬇
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

Is there supposed to be something in the massive gap between your "18th Feb" and post you have quoted?

I work on contract for a Ford Main agent, and recover loads of ecobangs as they are now known, 60 to 80k they can go without warning, or throw up the low oil pressure warning at far less.
The only answer is pull the sump at every service and change the belt for the latest compound
The 1,5 and 2.0 diesel is shite too, lucky if you pass 100k. They get the oil analysed if you have a warranty claim, never miss a service.
Unless they have a company car, few employees drive a Ford lol.
I believe Peugeot have gone back to a chain on the 1.2 puretech, or whatever it is called.

Hi, I have a grandland 2018 and had a recall letter. Very long story but have had the wet belt changed. They9 wouldn't give me a full list!
I'm now trying to research future issues, is this likely to happen again? Or should I sell while I hopefully can? I'm a single mum with two little ones so need a reliable car and won't be able to afford huge repair bills. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks

If the belt has been changed for the latest spec one, then the car should be good for at least another 25,000 miles.
Just make sure it gets the correct servicing using the correct oil.

Thank you. It's so hard to know what to do for the best. I suppose if I keep having a regular service it should be OK. I'm not 100% sure what the have done. This was all I was given.
its not a diesel either. 33000 miles.
We’ve just had the exact same thing happen to our Grandland X 2019 plate with 30,000 on the clock; bought from new with a full service history with a service plan at the dealership. They had the car for a week and paid for all repairs and rental car, but charged us £180 for diagnostic test, even when we told them that it is known fault re wet belt etc and they should’ve known when servicing it??!! We think it’s pretty unfair and unreasonable that they expect us to pay for the diagnostic test due to the fact it’s a manufactures fault; anyone else had to pay for the diagnostic test?

If they replaced the engine for you, then you have done well, in my opinion!
I would be happy to only be having to pay ÂŁ180, instead of a good few thousand!
They didn’t have to replace the engine just the belt???!!!

Unless you change the belt, your 200 pound fix is a bkow up waiting to happen, a short term fix, your belt is still defrading putting crap into your oil.
As these engines seem far worse then Ford Ecoboost, they last until around 70k usually, these things are going at 30k?

I have the same issue with my 2018 grandland X 1.2 petrol. Registered 2018 so out of warranty obviously. My local mechanic told me is the timing belt that is causing that, but unfortunately he doesn’t have the tool to open the engine to get access to the timing belt, so I took it the dealership for it to be changed, it cost me £600, on my way from the dealership to my destination it happened twice and I had to stop and I ended up in bus lane which waiting for my ticket. Are you guys sure that this problem can be repaired has anyone had this fixed and how much was it ? Because I have already spent £600. Going to vauxhall dealership again will be too much for me , Someone was saying that Vauxhall are aware of the problem if so, why can’t they recall for all 2018 Grand land X number plate to resolve the problem, or they are waiting for someone to take them to court before they take action.
