Opel Grandland

The mid-size SUV, and a Peugeot 3008 under the badge — EMP2 throughout, PSA engines, PSA engine management. That is the single most useful fact about it, because Opel information from the GM era does not apply to this car at all and 3008 information applies completely. The 1.2 PureTech's wet timing belt, which degrades into the sump and starves the oil pump, is therefore its defining fault as much as it is any Peugeot's.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

Nothing posted about this yet. Whatever you found is worth writing down — even a dead end saves someone the same afternoon.

What makes one worth reading:

The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
What you measured, not only what you replaced.
What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
