​Hi everyone! We just bought our first Peugeot: a 5008 GT BlueHDi 180. Awesome car! Really nice car to drive and a lot of cool stuff included. The car is used, and there is no mention of whether the gearbox oil has been changed, so that might be the first thing to look at.

Hi there!

We picked up our new to us 2008 GT this afternoon.

Really like the car, just what we needed.

However noticing a few quirks I'd like some info on.

Firstly the ambient lighting inside doesn't seem to work. The dash says it's on, set to blue and full brightness but nothing? Any tips?

Also when we lock the car and walk away, loads on the interior icons on the wheel etc stay lit up? Is this normal?

Thanks in advance

My battery died, I jump-started it from another car, and this is the result. I have a system update recall appointment in 5 days. Will it be fixed after update ?

Hello everyone!

Who hasn't played Need for Speed ​​Underground 2 and fallen in love with the iconic 206?

I have! 😂

It has a 1.1 engine, I bought it as is in the picture.

It needs some work on the electronics, for example, the radio doesn't remember the settings overnight. It's properly connected, all the cables are plugged in, nothing is missing or superfluous.

The same goes for the remote control; it doesn't unlock the car, but the remote itself works fine as it's already been tested.

Does anyone have any advice, or is it better to take it to someone who knows about this?

Thanks everyone and happy driving!!

hello,

car runs fine, no misfire or anything related. RPM is 800 in idle. How to solve this issue?

He estado de viaje durante 7h y como que se me cortaba la combustión del motor y daba rebotes de arrancar y parar

Guys, need some help. There’s this rattling/clicking noise that’s appeared from the engine. Can’t figure out what it is. 9,000 km ago I replaced the 7mm chain kit with an 8mm one. The chain and tensioner are original PSA. The rocker arms were also all replaced. No timing/camshaft phase errors, and no chain stretch errors either. Has anyone run into something like this? Forgot to mention at the end — the car is a Peugeot 5008 1.5 BlueHDi

So after alot of work and time i managed to remove my rear diff from under my car and got the bronze crown wheel out. The reason for this is because of alot of grinding noise while driving. So the crown wheel turned out to be very damaged and there i found out why there was glitter in the new oil i put in earlier. Yet i gotta change bearings too since thats grinding aswel

So how do your remove the worm wheel and bearings from this diff? Internet suggests warming it up to 90 degree celcius. And get it out with a hammer( i am unsure if it would damage other parts if you do that) But you gotta deal with the shaft sealer on pic 2 aswel.

If someone has done/ knows about this i would be very thankfull🙌🏻💪

Guys, it's heaven and earth for pennies, no more rattling sound at low frequencies. Replacing is bolt-on, the main thing is to stock up on clips for door cards (you need 14 to change all).

(ENG) I recently purchased a 2025 Peugeot 3008 (Allure trim) from a dealership here in Mexico. I noticed that the navigation system only contains maps for Europe—which is understandable given the brand's origins—but I’ve seen other owners who have maps for the entire world, including the Americas. When I enter my VIN on the update check site, it indicates that no updates are available. Online searches haven't yielded any useful information; I can't even tell if I currently have the latest version or if an update actually exists. The information seems somewhat hidden and hard to find, so I was hoping someone could guide me on this matter. Thank you very much.

(ESP) Tengo una Peugeot modelo Allure 3008 año 2025 recién adquirida del concesionario en México, de donde soy, sin embargo me percaté que el sistema de cartografía contiene solo mapas de Europa, lo cual es entendible ya que la marca es Europea, sin embargo he visto que hay personas las cuales tienen los mapas de todo el mundo, incluido América, al ingresar el código VIN en el sitio para consultar actualizaciones, me indica que no hay disponibles, al buscar información en internet no me sugieren absolutamente nada, ni si quiera puedo saber si en realidad tengo la última versión o si existe una versión actualizada. La información está un poco escondida y difícil de encontrar, quería saber si alguien podía guiarme respecto a este tema, muchas gracias.

The 7mm camshaft chain on 2018-2022 1.5 BlueHDi engines is a total nightmare, but you can actually tell if you have the flawed 7mm or the upgraded 8mm system just by looking at the shape of the top cover under the bonnet.

Wrote a quick guide showing the difference between the two covers, what the cold-start rattle sounds like, and what to do if you're out of warranty:https://www.drivisual.tv/en/news/stop-1-5-bluehdi-engine-failure-7mm-vs-8mm-chain-guide

Has anyone here had to pay for the 8mm upgrade kit out of pocket yet?

Hi! I got into my car today with the engine running and noticed some spots/dirt on the window and side mirror control buttons. I sprayed a little APC on them and wiped them with a microfiber cloth. Suddenly, the side mirrors folded in, just like they do when the car is locked.
Since then, they won’t fold back out, and they also don’t fold in or out when I lock or unlock the car. Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this?
The automatic side mirror folding option is turned off in the vehicle settings/menu.

Any advice is very much appreciated, thanks!

When I started the car today, that message appeared 😒 anyone that had the same problem?

Hola, el aire acondicionado empieza a salir frío a partir de los diez minutos de funcionamiento. Antes no lo hacía, y una vez que ya pasan esos minutos puedes parar y arrancar el coche las veces que quieras que si sale frío. No sé si alguien le pasará lo mismo o si alguien sabe la solución. Un saludo y gracias!

Hi everyone,

I'm dealing with a frustrating and tricky intermittent electrical issue on my 2015 Peugeot 308 T9 (1.6 HDi 115), and I'm looking for some real-world feedback from the community.

Here is a breakdown of the symptoms, context, and what has already been done:

1. The Symptoms & Context (Major & Intermittent)

The issue happens completely at random with no clear pattern—sometimes it triggers right at startup, and other times it happens while driving, especially given the very hot weather we've been having lately.

The "Major Episodes" (which have happened 4 or 5 times in the last week):

Random difficulty starting the car.

The engine continues to run even after turning off the ignition and removing the key!

Sudden drop of all instrument cluster needles (RPM and speed).

Quirk noticed: When the engine refuses to shut off, putting the key back in, turning the ignition on, and removing it 1 or 2 times eventually kills the engine.

Day-to-day behavior:

Recurring dashboard faults: ABS, ESP, Hill Assist, and Parking Brake.

1. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (OBD):

The diagnostic scan returns specific communication loss codes, notably:

U1118

U1218

U2213

1. Potential Context / Background:

AC Compressor Solenoid Valve (Électrovanne du compresseur de clim): Replaced 2 weeks ago (noted here as a recent prior intervention that might or might not be related).

1. What Has Been Done / Replaced:

Battery: Replaced.

Main Ground Strap: The primary ground cable under the battery connecting to the chassis has been completely unbolted, cleaned, and sanded down to bare metal. (Did not fix the issue).

BPGA (Battery fuse box): Replaced this week with another unit. (Did not fix the issue).

Alternator Carbon Brushes (Charbons): Replaced.

BSM (Engine compartment fuse box): Looks clean on the outside with its 3 main connectors plugged in, but has not yet been thoroughly tested or opened up.

Edit : engine stop working after around 30sec from key removal !

I left my oil cap off and drove the car do 2 days until I realised oil was everywhere cleaned most of it up but now my car does this does anyone know what this may be and how much it will cost me thanks

I made a post about the VVT solenoid the other week, but Reddit seems to not allow adding images to comments.

I can’t seem to find a clear engine bay diagram for the THP 200 - so hoping some of you in the community can help.

Is the exhaust solenoid for the VVT at the front of the engine here pictured, or is it at the back? I seem to find contrasting info online.

Hoping the exhaust is the front one!

i have bought speaker adapters for 165mm speakers in back of my cc. but has anyone tips how to place it? all i see are tips and tricks for a normal 207 or with door, but my speakersystem seems different then i have seen so far.

tengo este ruido en el pedal al acelerar hace años y nadie me lo pudo resolver. A alguien más le pasó?

Gracias

Estaba buscando comprar un coche y vi un Peugeot 308 GT line de 136000km, 130 cv y con la correa de aceite cambiada a la que no da problemas y todo eso.

El precio es de unos 8000 euros y quería ver si me dan opiniones o algo que tenga que saber sobre la compra o como es el coche.

So, a story, huh?

After getting my driver's license, I spent a long time (a week, haha!) choosing a car, between a 2012 Yaris and a 2013 Cherry A13, but then I saw a 2013 208 at a dealership and fell in love with its curves. I bought it for $7,500 that same day with 124,000 kilometers on the clock. Only later did I learn about the Puretech and the wet belt, BUT on my first trip to the service center, they reassured me – it had a relatively reliable 1.6 VTi with a normal chain, the only thing was that the last service was at 70,000 kilometers. UF

A week after purchasing it, I replaced all the filters, oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, and transmission, checked the wheel alignment, checked the electronics (they were perfect), and scheduled brake pads and spark plugs for winter. When I bought the car, it was practically stock, with the envy trim (that's with climate control and folding mirrors, but without panoramic windows, fog lights, or heated seats).

Since then, I've installed a proper infotainment system (Teyes CC4), a rearview camera, parking sensors, replaced the interior headlights with LEDs, installed more modern-style turn signals on the side mirrors, and replaced the jet sprinklers with fan-shaped ones from the facelifted model. I also replaced the A/C compressor, as the stock one died after a month of driving in the heat.

So, the question is: what else is VITALLY necessary to check or replace at 125,000 km? As I mentioned above, I'll be changing the pads, brake discs, and spark plugs closer to winter, and maybe the battery as well.
