Like all PSA cars using this engine, the wet timing belt can degrade and block the oil pickup, leading to oil starvation and engine death.
- 1.5/1.6 BlueHDi DPF CloggingSerious
Diesel Grandland models driven predominantly on short urban trips can develop blocked diesel particulate filters, triggering limp mode and expensive regeneration or replacement.
- Rear Shock Absorber WeepingModerate
The rear shock absorbers can develop oil leaks and lose damping effectiveness, leading to a bouncy ride and increased stopping distances.
