Recently got involved in the Peugeot community and you guys are just so chilled compared to other car community’s (especially BMW) In other communities everyone is arguing about which car is better and calling each other’s cars ugly but I’ve seen the complete opposite in this community. Is this the effect that French shit box’s have on people or is there a deeper meaning?

I'm sure similar questions about this have been asked. I've been interested in rallying for a while and I found I really like Peugeot cars When I watch rally videos there's always a British commentator who pronounces it like "pur-zho". So this is how I've always said it, even as an American. I live in the US and I haven't met anyone who even knows what those cars are until recently. The gentleman I was speaking to pronounces it like "poo-zho". Even Google Translate pronounces it this way. Do I sound pretentious saying it like a Brit, or does it really matter?

Had a 2018 Peugeot 3008 mk2 1.2 Allure but it was using a lot of oil, so feared that the engine was on the way out.

Upgraded to this 2021 Peugeot 3008 1.6 180 GT Premium, as I liked my previous car apart from the engine issues.

New car is faster, has more features, pretty much the same fuel economy and doesn't have the wet belt issue of the 1.2.

Hello,

So my girlfriend has a 2018 Peugeot 308 Facelift 1.6 Manual Diesel.
The problem is that Automatic Start/Stop does not work when we stop. You can see it from the video. I mean, yes, I did stop only briefly in the video, but nevertheless, it does not want to turn off, it simply blinks and does not do anything. It used to work like 6 months ago and then it stopped. I thought it might be a battery problem, but the car starts up just fine, no matter if it's -20°C or +25°C. So I kind of brushed off that idea.
Does anyone have any clue where should I start looking ?

Thank you in advance for any advice!

My son crashed his Peugeot RCZ (he is ok). When looking for repair parts, I noticed xenon headlights make huge difference - they are rare and expensive, they require different front bumper which is also expensive. How difficult it would be to swap xenon to halogen headlights and go with cheaper parts?

Hi

My 2021 5008 is making some strange noises (the videos are loud, it’s obviously not that loud in reality ;)) - it’s petrol but not a 1.2l engine but the 181hp 1.6l sold in the GT Pack version, just to be clear. :)

the car went through MOT (French CT in fact, not sure how different these are) and had 0 issues, so it’s not exhaust related I assume? car has 29k km on the clock and is 4 years old. It’s getting louder if the RPM is higher, almost sounds a bit like hissing sometimes.

I just want to know if this can wait until I drop it in may, for regular maintenance in may or if I should hurry, thanks 🙂

Hey everyone. First time posting here.

I have a 1999 Citroen Xsara with mystery Peugeot wheels, 4x108 pattern and have mismatched wheel bolts. I know the alloy one is correct but I can't find one like it anywhere. I can find similar but not same. Does anyone know what these bolts are exactly so I can get a set of 16?

What do you think about the Peugeot 2008 1.6 hdi with automatic transmission of 2016?I'm looking into getting one of these, I just wanted your honest opinion.

I went for a test drive in a 2021 1.6 puretech 3008 last week and was very impressed. I then started researching engines. for my budget its looking like 70-80k miles circa 2017/2018.

what I see online is story after story of adblue problems in higher mileage diesel variants and eye watering repair costs for said problem. so it seems to me the safer choice is the 1.6 petrol, which seems to have a decent reputation. I know all about the 1.2 petrol.

I feel like buying a higher mileage diesel 2.0 there is a significant chance there is going to be an adblue related problem and sooner or later you're going to end up with a £1000 plus bill. or is this overblown? there are far more diesels on the secondhand market than 1.6 petrol, and the 1.6 are more money.

would welcome any observations. its a lovely vehicle but I can't afford to risk ongoing problems with it.

Hi folks, I need to get the front windshield replaced on our 308 SW, not done this before so I have no idea on cost, can you guys give me a ballpark I should be looking at?

Hey everyone!

A few days ago I bought a Peugeot 508 1.5 BlueHDi and I’m absolutely loving it so far. Super happy with the car!

Quick question though — is there a way to get Austrian maps on the system? I updated both the maps and the touchscreen software, but Austria still doesn’t show up as a selectable region. I only see Germany, BeNeLux, and France.

Anyone run into this before or know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Was driving along the motorway when suddenly the engine warning light came up, forced into limb mode going around 50mph on the motorway not ideal ran error codes and produced this, does anybody know what I should do Thanks guys

Hi all,

My girlfriend has just got a 23 plate 208.

We’re both getting used to it, not least me going from driving everywhere in my car to relaxing as a passenger.

Just wondering, when you’re using the in-built Peugeot settings on the screen - changing the air conditioning settings for example - is there a way to go back to the Carplay screen straight away? Or do you have to click the connections bit (four squares, second down on the right) and then select Carplay every time?

Where is the VVT located any help appreciated thanks

I buyed that Peugeot 207 2007 and I love it in every way because it is my first car. But why when I put heated seat to max setting it heats super slowly and I dont even feel almost nothing

Just a query I’ve had the above car for just over 30 months it’s had 2 services the last one in November. However just the other day I went over 30k miles and the Red spanner came saying it needs a service. I need to do a 600 ml round trip before I can get it checked at the garage will this be ok to do.

Hello, after updating, my aerial camera ,(360-degree), shows a black mark that fades away when I start moving. If I recall correctly, the car in the aerial view wasn't black before the update—now it matches my car’s actual color, but there's still this black square visible.

What could be causing this issue?

How can I solve it ?

We are about to purchase a 2021 5008 1.2L and learning about the issues with the wet belt and reliability concerns if not very carefully maintained. Waiting to hear if the belt has been replaced yet as it would be due now.

Wondering how it we should instead consider a 1.5L diesel that is also available. Or does that just introduce DPF issues?

Which would you choose? 2020 1.5L Diesel 129BHP 58,000km 2021 1.2L Petrol 130BHP 98,000km

Both are Allure trim and same price. 2021 model has the updated exterior facelift.

Got a 2017 Peugeot 3008 GT with 55,000km on it and the the engine shit itself.... Somehow the coolant is getting into the engine and nobody is able to tell me what's wrong, one mechanic told me that the car needs a new engine (Brand new from Peugeot is $16k) and I can't find one second hand. The other mechanic told that it was the engine Welsh plungs that rusted but after almost $4k to repair this the car is doing the same, the coolant is contaminated with oil and the oil too. Unfortunately the car is going to the junkyard....

I had a cracked boost hose, yesterday the car enetered limp mode and the turbo sounds different, I can only hear the typical VGT sound of the turbo and almost no air, car revs to only 3k RPM, I had a boost pipe rip off (completely) a month ago and the car did not enter safe mode and I could also hear air hissing, not this time. Did the car detect it this time and stopped the turbo (wastegate on at all time)? I can still hear the variable geometry moving and making sounds, louder though (but there is a leak and I guess more sound comes outside) no smoke from the back so I guess turbo did not blew, the OBD did not detect anything and did not give me any codes, apart from -2PSI pressure. Is this some failsafe to protect the turbo or there could be something else?

I drive a Peugeot 308, 2008 diesel with the hdi 16 engine. Recently I was about to head out and as I pulled around the corner from my house, the engine cut out, an engine light came on and the scream read “air pollution filter faulty” or something similar. I turned the car off and on, and it ran about 10m before cutting out again. Now my first thought is that the dpf filter is blocked, since I had been using my car to leave to drive for the last 8 months doing many short journeys, no motorway runs. (Bad practice I know) since passing I’ve done long motorway journeys so I was a little surprised. I took the car around the block a few times in a low gear and it was running fine, so I took it up and down a bypass a few times in a low gear to keep revs up. After doing this a few times, when I restarted the car, the engine light had disappeared. I added some dpf unblocked to try and help the problem, but the car ran fine, until I took it on the motorway. It cut out again, and took a couple restarts and running a low gear for it to work smooth again. Engine light gone again. It then stopped for a third time, so I thought I’d hook it up to a odb2 and run a forced dpf regen. Upon running car analysis, I got four dtc codes. P1351, P0192, P0490 and P1459. My conclusion is that there is an issue with the fuel rail pressure sensor, which has caused incomplete combustion, which has then caused the egr valve to clog, in turn causing the dpf to quickly block, which then shuts off the car. I’m no mechanic, so I’d love any advice or similar issues anyone else has overcome, I just don’t want my first car to die so soon🥲🥲😅

(Also, fuel rail pressure reads around 3600psi while idling, if that means anything)

Hi Leute,

ich fahre einen 308 II SW GT Diesel von 2017. Leider kann ich nirgends eine Angabe zum verwendeten Kühlmittel finden???

Will jetzt nicht unbedingt in die Werkstatt zum nachfüllen ...

Kann mir da jemand helfen?
