Hi all. I have a 67 plate grandland that now needs timing belt changed. This is a known fault with Vauxhall however as l am at 70,000 miles and there cut off is 62,000 they are refusing to replace for free or reduced cost. Dealership advised talking to Vauxhall customer service but they are refusing any help.
Anyone else had this and got a positive outcome ?
Surely if it’s a known fault they should have to replace regardless of mileage.
Wet timing belt out of warranty
I own an April 2021 Grandland x which I bought recently with just over 30K on the clock .
In the past with Vauxhall cars I found service was 12K 12 months .
Just booked mine in local Vauxhall dealer for major service and I raised issue of the wet cam belts .
They tell me Vauxhall have REDUCED SERVICE INTERVAL TO 9K BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM .
Makes me wonder if I should sell what I think is an otherwise great car .
