Hi, I have a 2019 Grandland X with intellilink 4.0 that is not working. I get the Vauxhall logo looping 5 or 6 times then goes to a blue software loading screen, again about 5 or 6 times then goes off completely. I haven't bricked it in any way to affect the start up script. I have tried updating it with the latest firmware from Vauxhall, but it does not work. I can see the USB flash drive is working by its light, but the system doesn't seem to be reading it after an initial second flashing. Any ideas what this could be before I spend a small fortune replacing it. Thank you

Thanks anyway

So have had a a20dth engine go bang (oil pump seal). I went and bought another 2.0 engine to get fitted however on fitting have realised it is a A20dt/lbr... now engine loom, ecu, body control module, clocks and immobiliser chip/transponder have also been changed.. and it won't turn over or fire.. the original engine had a 3 pin crank sensor and new one has 2 pin.. however I assumed with all the ecu kit been swapped it would register for the difference.. with the original ecu kit fitted the engine turns over but won't fire due to no signal from the crank sensor..... is there something else needed or have I totally messed up with the engine codes?

I found a loose wheel weight on a car i was looking at recently and similar symptoms

Will do. Just waiting for the bearing to turn up. And then the fun will begin. Done the engine coolant flush yesterday, so that's another box ticked. I'm getting there slowly.

Definitely sounds like turbo vairable vanes are gummed up with carbon Try cleaning the turbo with this stuff and see if that makes a difference Revive Turbo Cleaner Starter Kit Turbo Cleaner & Power Restorer 750ml (Diesel)

Hi our vauxall overlander automatic starts on D1 then moves to D2D3D4 then back to Drive 1 on open road runs fine

Not sure what it's worth does need some work

This very rarely happens but it does!

Someone suggested giving it a diesel flush treatment which I didn't have time to do, so I did a double shot of Millers Diesel treatment ahead of my monthly trip from Cornwall and Essex and back and since then I must say it has not happened again (and the car sure does drive better with no knocking or anything and lots more power) so perhaps was just a clogged injector? I did order a new Crankshaft sensor but I think ive got the wrong one as the spacing between the sensor and the bold looks different, and also despite best efforts I could not reach the dam thing anyway.

i took mine apart and found it was full of gunk

I really appreciate the stuff you sent earlier. Vauxhall's attitude is appalling over this. Trying to say it was a fault in my car that caused it. The auto electrician tried to update it today using a Vauxhall card and it did the same thing . . Said it was not compatible

I have a nox 2 code come up is that the sensor on the rear of the car or by the front wheel of the car

I how many nox sensors are on it and were abouts is not sensor 2 located

How do I fit the nearside window glass not fitting properly

My folding cup holder in the centre consle won't go back into the flush upright position. Any fixes.?

Might be worth trying an impact gun (pneumatic or battery) which will spin the nuts off

if you take it to a dealer they should be able to identify it and provide a new one

I have this code 68 come on every so often but I've noticed if I park in gear without handbrake (electric handbrake) the code doesn't come on the next time I start the car however when applying handbrake the starting the car code 68 I had the car scanned diagnostics and code U0121-00 is displayed not this is the handbrake failing to engage with the car and ideas where to start sort out handbrake module or power steering code 68

Did anyone get the problem sorted of excessive oil usage, i have a 2019 crossland x full service history from vauxhall aart from the recent service in February however have been having issues with oil usage since September last year, just has lid, gaskets and cap changed 10 days ago and oil refilled but light back on this morning only got 44000 on clock
