Common Problems: CHEVROLET CAPTIVA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Diesel Oil Dilution(Serious)
The 2.0 and 2.2 VCDi engines are highly susceptible to oil dilution from DPF regenerations. This thins the oil and can destroy the turbo or the engine.
- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Failure(Moderate)
The EPB module or the cables often fail or seize, leading to a stuck handbrake or an MOT failure.
- Clutch and Dual-Mass Flywheel Failure(Serious)
The clutch and dual-mass flywheel on manual models can fail prematurely, especially on diesel variants used for towing or in heavy traffic.
- Timing Chain Stretch(Serious)
The timing chain tensioner can wear, causing the chain to stretch and rattle. If the chain jumps teeth, it can cause catastrophic engine damage.
