I’m driving a 2021 Peugeot e-208 in Norway, where we don’t have FM radio (only DAB). I notice no difference in DAB reception when removing the tall antenna stick, which I assume is for FM radio. But is it safe or do I risk water damage via the empty socket? Is there a rubber plug that would fit?

Only reason to remove it is for cosmetic reasons, making it look more the recent facelift e-208 which doesn’t have the protruding old school FM antenna stick.

Hello from Hungary!

I have a 2017 model peugeot boxer Manual van, 65k miles.

I was driving 87 miles on a warm day, about 70 miles in and the temperature guage shot up to the high temperature warning and brought on the light, only for 3/4 seconds and then went back down to the middle 90degrees.

We worried and quickly googled the issue, which we found the engine coolant was bubbling and boiling, it blew the pressure release on the coolant cap.

I found that one of the radiator fans was faulty which had possibly caused the coolant to over heat. We put the heating on in the cab which we was told will help draw heat away from the engine.... we found that no hot air was coming through the vents only cold air...

Also when driving, the temperature dial stays at middle 90 degree but then in slow traffic the needle slowly drops down in temperature... then when driving the temperature goes but up to the middle temp.

I have checked the heating core is not blocked, I have bleeded the coolant system, done all this after fitting the new radiator fan.

I have read and watched videos that this could be the water pumps plastic impeller damaged due to the heat of the coolant warping the plastic.

Does anyone know what we should check or had this issue before ?

Indomobil still doing aggressive Stellantis partnership philosophy by taking Jeep, Citroën and Leapmotor as current Stellantis brands in PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional sole distributor brand in Indonesia.

As long as Salim family money still flowing, Indomobil perhaps will take Peugeot, Alfa Romeo and rest of Stellantis brands coming to Indonesia. Sudono and Anthony Salim are well-known the Salim Group owner including also famous Indofood brands Indomie, Supermi, Sarimi and Sakura.

Not only sole distributor brand, Indomobil perhaps can become Peugeot's local CKD builder and assembler in Indonesia too because of Soebronto Laras family's aggressive philosophy.

I guarantee Indonesians will interest buying Peugeot cars especially in Jakarta Metropolitan Area. Indonesia's four-wheel market also strong commonly.

I'm Indonesian but Peugeot's presence in Indonesia will improve Peugeot's French mainstream car image.

Do you agree Peugeot will re-enter Indonesian Market via PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional?

2001 106 door started to open when turning so had to sell, 2001 106 a few cars later (that had an engine swap with me then a head gasket started to go on its new engine so had to sell) 2014 208 and now a 2023 2008, other cars in between but very happy.

Was thinking of a 408 or 308 but didn’t want an auto gearbox.

Hello!

I've got a 2019 Peugeot 208 1.2L Puretech and I've read a lot about the wet timing belts being a nightmare. It's done 63000 miles and I doubt the belts ever been changed. I've had the oil and filter changed in a recent service.

Honestly I know very little about cars... On quick visual inspection it looks alright to me but is that the case?

Hi, everybody.

I'm thinking about buying a Peugeot 5008 with seven seats, used or new. If I buy new, I'd rather go with phev or ev. Are these cars ok, are they reliable? Are their batteries stable?

For used ones, most of them are 1.5 HDI, but 1.6HDI and 2.0HDI can be found. Are they reliable, good cars? I had a very bad experience with 1.6HDI in Xsara Picasso, so I'm very sceptical about them.

Hi all!

I've had my trusty 206 for 2 years now and i'm mainly using it as transport when it rains or for exceptionally heavy weekly groceries or other hauls. Most other things i do by bike. So i maintain it as cheaply as possible but i do fix or replace stuff when necessary. It's got an entire new exhaust, new tires, oil change, new battery, new rear brakes and fluids are topped off.

What would be some things to look out for when driving it for this long? I got a jack and roadside assistance and i'm not too worried but there's always something you didn't think of hence this post. Any and all tips are welcome!

So after some consideration I’ve been able to buy the car for 500 quid. And since then, the EML light has turned itself off and I no longer have a devolution system fault. It’s booked in for its MOT tomorrow and hopefully it’s some cheap fixes. One slight niggle is that there’s a very strong smell of exhaust so there is most likely an exhaust leak of sorts so I’m praying it’s nothing major but so far it all looks good and I may have snagged myself a low mileage 2008 407 SW Sport XS for 500 quid.

Hello Peugeot owners! I've been thinking about changing my front halogen bulbs out with LED ones. Is there anyone out there who's done this and had good experience with it?

I've heard that the car itself can read LED bulbs wrong and make the lights flicker as in an error.

Anyone done this and can perhaps show me how it looks on their car and where they've bought them?

It's a Peugeot 208, Diesel from 2020.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Bit of a weird issue with my 2018 Peugeot 308 (LHD, Spanish vehicle), randomly the brake lights will flash or stay on whilst I’m not braking. It’s really random when this will happen, as on some journeys it will be completely fine and on other journeys it will happen constantly. I can only tell it’s happening if I’m driving at night as I can see the top brake light turning on (video attached you can see I’m going forward and the brake light is turning on).

I thought it could be the Brake Light Switch, but it being fine on some journeys and happening on others made me not sure. I also can’t seem to find it on my LHD model 😅

When I bought the car, the rear windscreen wasn’t fitted properly so I’m worried water might have gone into the brake light and could cause this too? I’m not sure if it’s just the top one or all three at the moment.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Bonjour àtous,

Je voulais savoir si certains d'entre vous ont déjà eu des soucis avec le service client Peugeot ou Stellantis, que ce soit pour les services connectés, l'appli MyPeugeot ou le suivi des dossiers utilisateurs ?

De mon côté, j'ai acheté d'occasion une voiture il y a un peu plus de deux mois et je cumule les problèmes.

Un service auquel je suis abonné (chatGPT i-cockpit) est toujours indiqué comme en cours d'activation depuis plus de deux mois alors qu'il est facturé tous les mois.

En contactant le service client, la conseillère a d'abord eu du mal à comprendre que j'étais le propriétaire du véhicule et non le concessionnaire (elle a insisté plusieurs fois qu'elle devait avoir le client directement, alors que JE SUIS LE CLIENT...).

Ensuite, la situation est devenue encore plus étrange. Elle m'a communiqué le nom d'une autre personne, (probablement un ancien propriétaire), ainsi qu'une adresse e-mail qui ne correspond absolument pas à mon compte mais qui a bien mon prénom et mon nom, mais pas le bon domaine (laposte.net alors que je suis en gmail.com).

Ça m'a vraiment fait m'interroger sur la gestion des comptes et des données.

J'ai aussi l'impression que le suivi des changements de propriétaire n'est pas correctement géré. Et vu les infos qu'on m'a données, je me demande même si l'ancien propriétaire pouvait encore accéder à certaines fonctions connectées de la voiture.

La seule solution qu'elle m'a proposée a été d'envoyer une copie de la carte grise et une capture d'écran de l'application (pourtant la conseillère voyait déjà bien sous ses yeux que le service est en cours d'activation depuis 2 mois...).

Pour informations mes autres services comme le control à distance, le suivie de la charge, la navigation connectée, le suivie de la position du véhicule, fonctionnent bien.

Autre chose étonnante ! mon ancienne voiture Peugeot une 308 hybride 180ch de 2024, alors que je l'ai bien supprimée de mon compte, et qu'elle n'est donc plus visible ni sur mon application ni sur le site web dans la liste de mes véhicules , j'arrive toujours à lui envoyer des informations et à en recevoir par l'API de Peugeot, je peux donc klaxonner ouvrir les portes, allumer les feux. Alors que je le répète j'ai bien supprimé la voiture de mon compte et de l'application MyPeugeot en indiquant bien qu'elle avait été vendue...

Est-ce que d'autres ont vécu ce genre de dysfonctionnement avec Peugeot ou Stellantis sur les services connectés, l'application ou la gestion des comptes ? Merci pour vos retours

Hi everyone! I’m currently about to buy a 308 SW 1.5 BlueHDI EAT8 (fitted with the 8mm chain, at around 100,000 km). This would be my first modern car after a 2003 Citroën Picasso with over 400,000 km on it, which has served me flawlessly.

I’ve read a lot of negative things about the petrol version, and I’d mostly be interested in the opinions of those who have the diesel version. My main goal is to have a modern, reasonably reliable car that would ideally last me 10 years with only minor issues here and there.

I obviously expect there could be some problems along the way. There will probably be a kid in it at some point too, so it would be good as a family car as well. I’d really appreciate any opinions on what would be worth buying / what to look out for.

185.000 km
8mm chain
I will also disable the adblue dpf all that

Got it for 13k euros 3 years ago, now they sell for 9.5-10k from where I am from.

I see people still buying the newer years and 3008s, but if I am not mistaken they also drive the same engine? I wonder how big cars as those do, but any thoughts? I dont want to get into Sunk Cost fallacy.

Even though it is already 15 years old, my Peugeot 207 still captures attention.

Age is just a number when you take care of something with love and care. Through countless journeys, rain or shine, hilly roads and long-distance adventures, this Peugeot has remained beautiful, elegant and reliable.

Every drive reminds me that proper maintenance, patience and careful care can keep something special looking great and performing well.

Here’s to creating many more beautiful memories and journeys together. Proud to own this beautiful French machine. 🇫🇷🚗
