Peugeot 3008

The NiMH high-voltage battery of the Hybrid4 system loses capacity significantly after 8–10 years or 150,000 km. Below 70% residual capacity the system disables the electric drive. Replacement is extremely expensive.

Symptoms: Electric drive mode no longer available, sharply declining EV range, hybrid warning light, increased diesel consumption

The inverter that converts battery energy for the rear-axle electric motor can fail. Fault messages and power limitation follow. PSA carried out recall campaigns for affected model years.

Symptoms: 'Hybrid System Fault' message, power limitation, no four-wheel drive, multiple warning lights on instrument cluster

The inverter for the 37 kW rear electric motor in the Hybrid4 system reports sporadic faults. Fault codes U1213 and similar are stored. The system switches to combustion-engine-only mode and deactivates four-wheel drive.

Symptoms: Warning 'electric drivetrain fault' or 'motor electrical unit fault', 4WD automatically deactivated, reduced power

The common-rail injectors of the DW10 diesel engine can fail from as early as 80,000 km when maintenance is poor. Defective injectors cause rough engine running and, in the worst case, oil dilution in the crankcase.

Symptoms: Cold-start problems, rough idle, knocking, increased diesel consumption, engine warning light

The diesel particulate filter clogs during predominantly short-trip use because the automatic regeneration cannot run to completion. In hybrid mode the diesel is shut down more frequently, making regeneration even harder.

Symptoms: DPF warning light, power limitation, increased fuel consumption, engine limp mode when severely blocked

The EGR cooler on the 2.0 HDi in the Hybrid4 system tends to leak due to thermal stress. Coolant loss can cause overheating of the combustion engine, which is particularly critical in Hybrid4 operation as the electric motor cannot compensate for cooling.

Symptoms: Coolant level drops inexplicably, white smoke from the exhaust, fluctuating heater output, elevated engine temperature

The braided steel-mesh line between the engine block and turbocharger becomes brittle and develops widespread oil leaks. Peugeot's replacement is a rigid pipe. In Hybrid4 operation increased fire risk from oil contact with hot exhaust components.

Symptoms: Oil patches on the ground after parking, oil smell while driving, oil mist in the engine bay, rising oil consumption

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.
