  • Well-known topic: Timing belts in oil

    Servus together, I have a (pricely good) offer for an Opel Grandland, gasoline 1.2 from 09/24 (day registration with 100 km). Does this guy have the famous timing belt in oil? What about the Mildhybrid (48V)? (also from 09/24) – is that the same engine (with timing belt in oil)? Thank you for your answers 🙂 VG, Alex

  • Naviupdate for Grandland X

    On My Opel I downloaded and played the new map material.You have to re-enter your previous date !! But the data-which are allowed abroad-have no access. In Austria an FHO has made the settings for me. In the upper bar appears a red triangle, one can set kaann which kind vo BL . But there is no database available.In Austria,Slovenia Croatia and Poland the triangle is there, soon in D it is gone. I drive across the border back there. I already emailed the service 3x, have a process number and then no answer. Are we already at VW ? The own citizen looks into the tube ! Does anyone have experience with the update ??

  • Grandland 2 with 1.2 petrol and original AHK load?

    Hello and a happy new year, I’m just trying to find out if I can load a Grandland (08/2022) with 1.2 petrol and original AHK (removable). If necessary also with limitation with the tool. incline o.Ä. Unfortunately I could not find anything for the original AHK so far. With the retrofit AHK it is probably possible. 1.600 would be enough if necessary, 1.800 would be great. Thanks and until then, Ralf

  • ECO mode in GLX

    Can someone help me with the following problem: After the drive has ended and the ignition switched off (key is still on, radio is on) appears in the display after about 3 minutes: “ECO mode is activated. The system is now shutting down.”. Then the radio goes off and can only be switched on again when the engine is started. Even if the ECO mode is disabled via the switch, which also controls the start/stop system, I get the same display and the radio goes off. How can I use the or can I not listen to a radio in the GLX if I wait for my wife in front of the doctor’s office? Or do I have to keep running the engine when I want to listen to the radio? My FOH was of the opinion that this was a safety shutdown in order to save the expensive (gel) battery ???

  • Voice control not available in Germany? Window lifter not completely retractable at the front?

    Hello! We are now 2 weeks “stolze” owner of a Grandland X. But I also noticed the small gap between roof sky and A-pillar cladding. Well, gifted, is a Opel and not a premium product. But why does the front window lifter only go down to approx. 5cm lower edge door and then stops? Or is that normal? Then still the annoying Navi: If you want to communicate an address by voice input, the oll what of: “The voice input is not for your country m And finally the grandiose idea of Opel engineers to choose dark brown font on black background for the outdoor temperature indicator! How stupid do you have to be?! I just say: Only 3 years, 49 weeks and two days until I get rid of this crutch again.

  • Dispatch has been postponed three times!

    With whom has the delivery now been postponed even more times? I was “committed” the delivery for the end of May, meanwhile we are at the beginning of August. My Insi was actually already sold, had to dissolve the purchase contract, because I still don’t know when he will come Some time bridge without a second car goes, but not 3 months or more. He has not even been built yet. To be honest, find it a mess.

  • What equipment/motorization is a must at the GLX?

    Hello, we would like to see a GLX soon and try it out. The following equipment must be available: – Automatic – Diesel or petrol is not yet safe – Navi – trailer coupling – Seat heating – Multifunction steering wheel – Parking sensors, if necessary RFK I don’t need the whole assistants. Which equipment line makes sense? What else do you think the GLX should have? Is the 120hp diesel with automatic too sluggish? Consumption? Thank you for your answers!

  • Seat ventilation quite loud

    Hello, now that it’s so warm I tried the seat ventilation once. I noticed that when the compressor is switched on, the air blows into the seat. When the compressor is running, you hear from the back left quite clearly current noises as if the compressor is blowing off. The cooling from the seat is not as effective as I think it is. If you have switched it to full power, you can only feel a very weak airflow when you are holding your hand over it. The extendable knee extensions don’t seem to be ventilated at all. Even at level 2 you can’t feel anything anymore. Is that also so with you? Especially this flow noise at the back bothers me. Is that from the air temperature actually air conditioning or mixed air like from the nozzles? Thank you and another nice Easter Monday greeting Dommi
