Re: Does anyone resolved problem with Electric mode unavailable due to ambient conditions?

Had this problem when I first bough the car. Dealer struggled for a while before sorting it out. Seems like a brand new battery solved the problem even though the battery they replaced was almost new.

Re: 2022 3008 HYBRID BATTERY LOW RANGE

Like most people I have been disappointed with the electric mileage on my 1920 3008 Hybrid. The local dealer carried out some kind of software update last summer and I was able to maintain 33m until the winter months. I was expecting better things with the onset of summer but alas - best I got was 1...

Re: Ambient lighting colours?

Hi Richard

I also expected to have that facility in my top of the range Hybrid4. I'm guessing it's just the luck of the draw from Peugeot. I have some features that similar models don't - crazy isn't it?

Re: Hi there

The 3008 Hybrid4 is an amazing car to drive but Phil 1669 is correct regarding the problems with Electrics and the lack of knowledge of the service departments. Re: the Ambient Temperature problem: My 3008 was doing exactly the same until the two 12volt batteries were fully charged in the workshop. ...

Re: 3008 Hybrid - Unable to go into Electric mode

UPDATE : Not good news - just done a 2,000 mile tour to Scotland and back. The car behaved perfectly for the first 160 miles before relapsing into the old problem of starting on fast idle instead of electric mode. A new penomenon is that sometimes it will jump between electric and engine before driv...

Emergency and breakdown assist buttons

Has anyone used the contact buttons to report breakdowns or ask Peugeot for assistance? Would love to hear of your experience. Thanks in advance.

Re: Real time location

BEST OF LUCK WITH THAT - Far from reliable - even at home the app says my car is two streets away when I'm quite sure it's in my garage.

Re: putrid smell from rubber door seals

My wife caught me sniffing the door frames - couldn't detect any weird smell - I wonder if they used some fishy type of backup glue on your rubbers. We're still together even though she keeps giving me funny glances.

Fan runs when charger plugged in.

Yesterday when I plugged in the wall charger a high powered fan started up. It ran for approximately 15 minutes and when it stopped the charging system also stopped. Unplugged the charger after this and then plugged it in again - everything OK.
Has anyone had this experience?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Real time location

Yes - just download the My Peugeot app onto your phone. You'll need to register with Peugot and you'll need the VIN.
