I had the same issue. Engine fault light came on. Then warning light to Stop the vehicle. Engine has been guzzling oil. Dealers couldn't work out the problem. Told today that I need a new engine.


All of these happened immediately after they changed the timing belt (under warranty) and gave the car a full service.

It worked perfectly before that.

Waiting to hear if they'll foot the bill but I'm deeply suspicious of the timing !!

Did your grandland need a new engine? I've had the same issues with mine.
They replaced the wet belt with oil pump & other bits a year ago under warranty then yesterday the oil pump has a fault (confirmed via RAC)
Vauxhall won't accept it into the dealership til Wednesday

Thurlow Nunn changed the cambelt for my 2018 plate after it started drink engine oil. The problem was not resolved because they did not changed the valve cover. I am reliably informed that they were supposed to change at the same time when the cambelt is changed. After all these, the engine slowed needing immediate attention on the dashboard. They are saying could not find anything but we should bring it in for two days for them to clear the errors. We paid £600 for Cambelt, £299 for valve cover. Feel like a daytime robbery
