Peugeot 3008

The plastic impeller of the water pump can disintegrate from as early as 50,000 km. Fragments enter the timing belt drive and cause the belt to snap with subsequent total engine destruction.

Symptoms: Coolant temperature rises unusually, coolant loss without visible leak, faint grinding or squealing from the timing belt drive, sudden engine shutdown when belt snaps

The dual-mass flywheel wears prematurely, especially on the 107 hp variant. Oil dilution from DPF regeneration accelerates wear. The clutch should always be renewed at the same time.

Symptoms: Squealing or clattering when starting and stopping the engine, pronounced vibrations at idle, juddering when pulling away, knocking at low revs under load

Leaking injectors allow diesel into the engine oil, drastically reducing its lubricity. The rising oil level is often overlooked. This can cause piston and bearing damage.

Symptoms: Diesel smell at the dipstick, oil level rises above maximum, strong exhaust smell inside the car, engine judders or knocks more than usual, increased fuel consumption

After switching off a hot engine the oil lines to the turbocharger can coke up. On the next start the turbocharger briefly runs without lubrication. Mainly affects the more powerful DW10 variants.

Symptoms: Increasing whistling or whining from the turbocharger, oil spots under the car in the turbo area, gradual power loss, blue smoke after the engine has been standing

Internal EGR cooler failure routes coolant into the exhaust gases. Coolant disappears without visible external leak. Repair requires 13.2 hours of labour. Cost 800–2,000 €.

Symptoms: Coolant drops without visible leak, white smoke from exhaust, heater won't warm up

The PSA-proprietary additive (Eolys) is mixed into the fuel and enables regeneration at a lower temperature. A defective additive pump or empty reservoir prevents regeneration and clogs the FAP prematurely. Change interval 120,000–180,000 km.

Symptoms: Warning 'particulate filter will soon clog', increased fuel consumption, power loss, regeneration attempts visible as idle speed fluctuations

A faulty component in the 1.6-litre diesel engine (DV6F) can cause sudden stalling while driving. In some cases the car briefly accelerates before suddenly stopping.

The 3008 T84 frequently suffers from defective sensors that cause permanently active warning lights in the cockpit. Various systems such as tyre pressure sensors, parking sensors and engine sensors are affected.

Heating problems occur particularly on 3008 models from 2011 onwards. The lifespan of the heating components is limited; first faults often appear after 60,000 to 90,000 km.

On the first-generation 3008 starting problems occur from as early as 30,000 to 50,000 km. Symptoms range from complete failure to start through to weak starter motor cranking.

Vehicles produced from April 2011 to May 2015 are affected by contact corrosion in the electrical connectors. This can lead to sporadic failures of various electrical systems.
