#peugeot3008 #problems #issues
Thanks a lot for the review and highlights 😊
Thank you so much for the review. You touched so many essential things others didn’t. This is what I needed to watch before buying
You are so welcome!
The design us just amazing. I can't think of a nicer suv in that segment
This Auto gearbox isn't the unreliable Peugeot in house autos. These are actually Japanese man's by Aisin which is owned by Toyota. But like all autos regular servicing in required.
Which is why I stopped watching after he talk about unreliable gearbox and read the comment to find this.
@@andywongczI agree the bloke is talking rubbish.
I have 508, 2019 and I had a problem with the electric parking break yesterday. The break didn't want to release no mather what I tried. Then my friend and I removed the smal motor for the handbreak of the wheel, and we found the smal gear inside that was broken. The gears are all plastic except that one, which is metal, but that one was broken. That gear is so small, that it looks like you are fixing a toy of some sort. That thing will breake after 3-5 years I'm sure. But yeah, the car is great in general, I would never step away from buying the new Peugeot line. My friend work as a mechanic, and almost every new car has the similar issues, it's just so many smal things that is really a miracle when everything works :) Thanks for this review, this is a great video!
Thank you 🙏
And did u manage to fix the brake ?
Just to let you know my Peugeot 308 just died having done 200300 miles! Only problem in the last month , we did religiously service it , it is the second Peugeot which did over 100400 miles when i gave it away , best cars i have ever had and the milage per gallon is fantastic, just bought a new 3008 HDi allure automatic , absolutely FUN and fantastic expecting at least 100,000 from it. Look after it and it will look after you! Previous BMW, VW, owner.
These modern 3008 auto gearboxes are Toyota/Aisin units that they even use in Lexus and dozen other brands. Proven units. Frankly surprised to hear their manual boxes are not good.
Ad Blue System really saves the Evrionement It Trows Random Fault Codes , preventing the Engine from start There for eliminating Pollution at Source , a non running engine does not pollute
I have a 2019 3008 it’s been perfect never a problem with this car especially the automatic gearbox
Yes - I've never heard of an issue with the gearbox.
@@allanbriggs807 6 years no problems
Do you service eat8 or not?
Great review on the problems. It would be good to hear whether or not he regretted buying the car.
Seems similar to my 2015 Ford Focus diesel in terms of problems. I’m looking at replacing it with a 3008 in the near future. I’ve test driven one and was really impressed with the interior. It shows up the BMW X1 and VW Tiguan in my opinion. I will probably go with the 1.2 petrol with a manual gearbox to avoid all the Adblue issues.
❤
Peugeot diesels are generally more reliable than petrols.
How so ? What's the issue with petrols?
@@martingiese4075 The 1.6 THP Turbo Petrol engine has been used by PSA (also used by Mini) for years is Turbo and non turbo form and has had quite a few reliability problems like timing chains and even head gaskets. The 1.2 Puretech has also had some problems like with the wet timing belt. The diesels are generally reliable when maintained properly and do occasional motorway drives to clear the DPF.
Got a 5008 gt line 2020 plate. Really like the car but the fault I've had is the fuel gauge. It would say I have 60 miles left, but if I'm on a slight tilt, the car won't start bringing up an engine fault. The problem was not enough petrol but the gauge says different.
I have heard of that problem too. You might need to pay a visit to the dealer soon
@Shaaks POV been to them twice and obviously can't find anything wrong 🙄
@@Mike.Tech. It might be a sensor, Did you check the brake oil level on your car it must be at the max
Brilliant, thanks bud. I'm thinking of buying a new 3008 - I just LOVE the look, the way it drives, and how few of them there are on the road. We get a 5 year warranty in Australia, so hopefully if anything goes wrong, it will (if I buy it) do so in that time.
Go for it!
Same here I just bought a 2022 3008GT 2..0L diesel. The Ad Blue issue did worry me, but as you say I have a 5 year unlimited Kms warranty. Hopefully any issues will occur before that.
@@allanbriggs807 As it turns out, I ended up buying one, but a petrol Allure because I didn't want a sunroof in the Viagra Blue colour. Ask me why I bought it? No idea 🤔😂
Correct me if I'm wrong, but for the automatic gearbox, the issues are for the AT6, not for the Aisin EAT8.
Hi, Both version of the gearboxes have their own specific issues and symptoms start when they are neglected and not regularly serviced according to manufactures recommendations.
I covered 180,000 miles with the eat8 with no problem. The main problem is the timing chain plastic-nylon tensioner. This timing chain is not the timing belt ( different belt ) it has two.
Yes the 8 speed automatic is more reliable than the 6 speed automatic, I agree with you, mines the 8 speed automatic, alot smoother.
Just looking at youtube for faults on 3008 as my 2017 plate has begun to misbehave. A year ago the screen with speedo went blank and needed to switch off ignition and restart, at random times the screen will change to French and kilometers. Having spent about an hour last year to update the software and sat-nav the problems went away. Last week after having had NO problems the car started to "judder" the brake warning light came on the engine switched it self off and gave a message of brake fault. Taken in to a garage minor faults were recorded #1 adBlue fault... this had been topped up a week ago. I have been warned about French cars but after a test drive I loved the tech and the drive and still do. Hopping all my problems have gone away after the fault reset as It's been running great this week but I don't think I will be buying another French car. P,S a three tear warranty is not worth a penny at Peugeot dealer.
Im looking to buy one of these. i saw one of these at an auction and everything checks out, expect that it has driven bit over 130 000 miles. does anybody know if it can last me long while without havin too much of service.
So how do you know the auto gearbox has faults when you are driving a manual gearbox car, in late 2018 the auto gearbox was updated to the new 8-speed box so it's different.
Experience in the car trade community Mr Derek
I've never heard of a problem with the automatic gearbox. My 308 had the 6 speed auto with 165,000kms - no problems (I do service regularly.)@@DRIVECARSPOV
I asked my mechanic about your comments re the automatic gearbox problems. He is a European specialist. He said there are no difficulties with either the 6sp or 8sp automatic gearboxes. They are extremely reliable.@@DRIVECARSPOV
Surprisingly my Renault Kadjar has been Good for the Last 8 years It had 0 Faults its still Running on Its Original 8 years Battery and the Stop / Start Still Works indicating battery it still has a good voltage . not a Single Thing went Wrong with it , the car has 45,000 miles 1.6 DCI and it comes with 19 inch wheels
Thank you pals. Is this issue the same as the 2010 Peugeot 3008? Would you advise me to buy this car for a start?
I had a 2012 308 - 2.0L diesel - great car 165,000kms - no issues and I drive hard and fast.
Is it worth paying the Peugeot service plan of £20 a month to get everything taken care of. At the moment I just need the rear brake pads changed but I can't trust any local mechanic so it's either Halfords or Peugeot for me.
It’s well worth it
Yep, for me, was the last Peugeot I ever buy. Mine is 2018. Nice, beautiful...and stressful. I am very disappointed by things going to break and almost unable to be repaired… Standing noise in the audio system on driver's side, CB is broken and changed, the passenger door window cleaning blade is very easily broken from tiny clips, no way to be repaired, all must be taken down, including the glass... I buy it for the look, but is a waste of money... And the BMW engines, especially 1.6l THP... avoid them completely, are crap. Read on the MINI forums how many problems have, mine is in the middle...
Ad Blue emissions fault, so many problems on the forums on many different models!!! Had my 2018 1.5 allure for a week second hand 59k on the clock when this fault kicked in. Ad blue is full. Lots of people complaining that fixes and software updates only seem temporary. Many complaining also that should of been a recall. If anyone is thinking of buying the car check online for ad blue engine emissions faults before hand. Love the car but this has ruined it for me and I be returning.
The adblue system replacement would cost you not less than 3300 pounds. Labour 1400 approx + 1900 pound
Ouch!
This meant to be a help for someone i guess i have to share my experience because this was randomly popping up in my page, so after owning 3008 gt line for 5 years and over 150k millage in the dashboard in the hot saudi weather i drove it few times for 10hrs straight no break in an over 50 degrees celsius in the most extremist hot waves summer between towns in the desert and this car is a pure definition of reliability i mean with me skipping tons of oil changes there was no major problems beside oil leakage and I totally deserve it i mean its my fault but heres the good news it can be fixed with less than $500 with parts and labors another fault was the A/C freon sensor i guess its super cheap but i found a way to run the car with the cool ac on also there was an issue with the steering wheel it was cracking up randomly and rapidly it was loud in few days but I fixed it with less than $100 labor only no parts needed, the last problem i had was the driver door i replaced the joint i guess or whatever its called so thats it other than that i would absolutely advise you to buy this car it’s absolutely reliable and feels luxury and so hi tech
Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏
You can drive now in there,? Welcome to the 21st century
Good video, thanks.
Thanks
I can't agree on the automatic gearbox. Its Aisin product that is considered a very good and durable. Also I did not hear about problems with it from Peugeot users.
my peugeot 3008 radiator fan remains on and headlight also. car does not heat up . why ? issue started from alternator carbon brush used up .
Check thermostat sensor maybe
Heating on my 3008 works only when I turn on in cabin air circulation. What could be the problem?
Bad blower motor most likely
I am having problems also
Has anyone had problems with heater blowing cold air only
Peugeot aftersales are a nightmare takes forever to get warranty work done the thing spends more time in the garage than it does on the road
Weird that you don't even mention the massive issue with the 1.2 pure tech engines where the belt deteriorates and travels around the engine and the engine drinks oil before it dies completely. Peugeot won't even buy back their own cars. They look beautiful but are shockingly bad. Thankfully I got rid of mine before it knackered completely.
Regular servicing is required for all auto transmissions.
Does that mean just a general full service , or something specific to servicing the auto box?
@@martingiese4075 I mean an Automatic gearbox service. You can get this done at a transmission specialist.
I own a 3008 GTline (2019) and I had to replace the AdBlue tank. I suffered chaotic issues with it varying from wrong level indication to engine failure light and AdBlue system failure light. But the tank has been replaced for free as my vehicle is still on factory guarantee service. Next issue is air conditioning system. Out of the blue it fails periodically. This happens when it is cold (0°C and below). The warming function goes bust and the system air flow internal deflectors do not function. The cure - you warm up the engine for several minutes, turn the engine off and wait for a minute. Next engine start revives the conditioning system. You cannot drive without it in winter because there is ice buildup on the windshield that makes you effectively blind. The third issue is a key fob sensitivity to cold. At freezing temperatures it just stops functioning entirely. You have to warm it up to return functionality. Or carry it close to your body to keep it cozy and warm :)
Fair to say if you have ice around keep the Peugeot warm 😄
So after about a year, any updates ? I am thinking of getting one
Unfortunately I didn’t keep the car for a year to provide update.
I have had one 1.6 HDI for a little over year now. First thing I did was to re-program the adblue system that it always thinks that adblue tank is full. That is the only way you never have to repair it. If I would buy petrol one, I would only use Total Quarz oil (approved by Peugeot) and change it every 15,000kms. That is the way the wet timing belt stays intact for its recommended service period. Belt doesn't like old oil.
Does the 2018 GT-Line have similar issues?
I assume as GT line won’t change the mechanical aspects of the car but cosmetics
@DRIVECARSPOV Okay, so you wouldn't advise me to buy a used one with 80K Kilometers?
The 3008's are extremely reliable cars - especially those with the diesel engines. The earlier 1.2 Puretech engines did have some problems but the later ones are OK.@@biggieblack8158
So if i have only 1 car for my family, this is not recommended ?
I do recommend this car 100%. This video is to let you know about some issues that may or may not happen during your ownership.
Does it Have SEAT BELTS ??? Because if it Does WEAR THEM ????
I have a 2017 3008 and the entertainment system keeps switch on and off. Is this an easy fix?
I haven’t had this issue before. I would suggest checking the fault with a dealer just to get an idea and then find a cheaper local garage to do the job for you to save you some $$$$
Updade the Firmware
That's nothing, mine does it, it's not a big issue as I use android auto
after 160.000 km in my Renault EDC gearbox: no issues what so ever.
Which type of Tommy Hilfiger jacket do you own in this video?
I don’t actually remember sorry
Thank you, Sir. What engine to choose? 1.5 or 1,6 hdi automatic?
I would recommend 1.6 HDI
Just bought 2018 1.6 gt line 👍 3008
In Australia we are lucky as we have access to the 2.0L ddiesel engine. They are brilliant. Discontinued after 2022.@@DRIVECARSPOV
@@metal.grimaceshow do you like it? No problems?
Try Peugeot e3008 2024
Mine is 3008 GT line Auto 2029. Suddenly annoying noise when AC is on. Seems it’s coming from under the steering wheel . Any one got this issue before
Looks like the blower motor is going bad.
How did you got 2029 model 5 years back
how is the engine? i heard alot of horor stories about the puretech engines using alot of oil and bad timing chains.
Engines are generally reliable
@@DRIVECARSPOV the pure tech engine wet belt breaks up blocking oil flow causing engine failure
Happen to my citeron C4 cactus rip curl grip control Citroen replacement engine free because of this I think a Citroen dealer didn't service properly?
Guys if you have adblue prroblems like i did with my 3008 dont bother spending 2-3k with ripoff main dealer just do a remap to disconnect the adblue system the car is 10x better
Same,just disconect add blue
Can you actually disconnect the Adblue system???@@metal.grimaces
Its an asi. Auto 8 apeed gearbox , conaidered one of the most reliable, why you say it iant?
The most reliable according to who ?
I go to two mechanics - One is the "go to" mechanic for Peugeot Australia. He said that the automatic gearboxes are foolproof AS LONG AS THEY ARE SERVICED REGULARLY.@@DRIVECARSPOV
Aisin gearboxes 6 or 8 grears used in Peugeots are problem free. Same gearboxes are used in many other brands and are proven to be very reliable.
Volvo and opel is using Aisin.
I think you a bit outdated actually all auto boxes these days are quite reliable most of the other problems you describe are pretty much any suv on the road
I think you forgot to mention about 1.2 petrol which needs replacing the whole engine every 20-40k miles. All thanks to that wet timing belt system. About EAT8 I've never seen anyone talking about broken gearbox , many times heard about how reliable they are. But Ive heard hundreds of time about adblue and petrol problems with engine. How much would cost to replace whole petrol engine?
Luckily I have never had the 1.2 petrol and I have heard a lot of negativity about that engine. You probably looking at around 3k for engine change and labour.
Not sure you need to replace the whole engine . It's a wet belt issue yes, if you drive a lot when it needs replacing, it will damage your engine. However, I had wet belt issue on my ford focus 2019 and got to a mechanic asap and they replaced it and my engine is fine
Just service the car to the manufacturers recommendation
@@DRIVECARSPOV I have the 2021 face lift 1.2 GT welt belt issue is now sorted with better belts to withstand the oil
Touch wood my puretech 130 I've had no problems the later version is a lot more reliable
Does he really know what he's talking about, I've had no issues with mine
Touch wood
Amazing all the nice looking SUVs all have problems. The Range Rover Evoque and the Peugeot 3008/5008 😢 think its better sticking with the dull and boring Toyota or Honda's to be hassle free
The new Toyotas look great
Heh, it all depends on your country regulations but welp, cars officially sold in Russia have no AdBlue at all, and owners of imported cars usually drive till they got AdBlue issue and just remove AdBlue system entirely and then reprogram engine to run without one. As for AT6 it is kind of interesting since we have two sets of recommendation. One from Peugeot - that states that this box is maintenance-free and filled with ATF for entire lifetime. And then there is recommendation from Aisin/Toyota (actual manufacturer of this gearbox) that states that you have to replace oil at certain milage. But then, there is no way to replace filter and 100% of ATF on this box without disassembly - so, ppl here do partial ATF replacement at every ~40-60k km. Also country-specific is petrol engine. Basically we only have 1,6 THP Prince engine as the only option and this engine is prone to all sort of issues... unless you babysit it. That is usually not the case.
Eat 8 auto is actually a japanese auto box (see stamp on caseing)Aisin formerly Borg Warner I believe.Not a stupid Elastic band drive like Audi's have.it's boom proof.All cars have micro switches and tons of sensors -these are what goes wrong.The 3008 eat 8 auto is a brilliant drive. German car owners won't agree.Cant please everyone can u😀
well said
I've been told it's a good gear, I agree, very smoth
Why aren't you using a seatbelt?😅
I am 🫢
Semi auto worst car I ever had
Oh wow people still drive MANUAL TRANSMISSION in 2023-2024 … someone wake me up please
You're joking.
You're just talking nonsense! Among the best gearboxes in the world! The car is perfect!
All cars will have the same problems if you don't do maintenance
you can buy cars at auctions? where did you get this from?
Auction
It's probably a good idea not to buy one from an auction. That's a gamble in itself. Get one from maybe, Evans Halshaw, the car shop or Arnold Clarke (don't use their finance, get a bank loan)
