    we had a recall for the chain in our Peugeot, so likely all stellantis models. The notification was along the lines that due to early chain wear they check the chain and replace if suspect. If chains ok, they are supposed to change the oil anyway to a different consistency, so they should have changed the oil anyway

    The OP needs to comment!

    The Grandland range included the highly popular 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre diesels, and the advanced 1.6-litre Hybrid4.

    The 1.5 BlueHDi diesel engines use both a conventional timing belt (driven by the crankshaft) AND a small internal timing chain (connecting the two camshafts together)
