Re: Wet timing belt disintegrated, new engine required outside warranty

There is a major issue with the timing belts on the these engines, Peugeot / Citroen have had a recall for the same engines.
Vauxhall should not be charging for replacements.

Re: Wet timing belt disintegrated, new engine required outside warranty

I don't see why you should have to pay anything because 'the disintegrating belt' is a well known problem with Puretech 1.2 engines. Both Peugeot and Citroen have had massive recalls for this issue. Later models >17 are supposedly fitted with improved belts. https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/our-cars/peu...

Re: Engine oil

Does anyone know why the 1.2 130 Grandland needs 5w30 but the Crossland 1.2 110 needs 0w30.
They're basically the same engine !!!
