Re: Cam Belt Perishing

Mine had only done around 5k when it needed replacing. I wonder how many have had the belt fail completely and needed a new engine as a result. It would be very dangerous if it happened on the outside lane on a motorway.

Re: Downloading firmware update for 2017 3008

Is the computer you are using 32 bit? If so the file is probably too big for it. It probably needs a 64 bit machine. I downloaded the map update from here: https://www.peugeot.co.uk/servicing/map-system-updates/ The only problem was that an error message ("can't find the file" or similar) ...

Re: Which engine size to get?

I've got a GT Line 1.2 auto 6-speed. I've never driven the 1.2 manual, but power wise the car compares well with the Astra 1.6 manual it replaced.

Re: Cam Belt Perishing

I had that. Seems to have been caused by oil getting on to the belt. I took it to the nearest dealer the first time the message appeared.

Re: Error messages keep appearing

Booked into the dealer again next Monday. If they say they can't find anything wrong yet again, I'll be looking at other makes unless they offer me a great deal on a Peugeot 2008.

Error messages keep appearing

My 2017 3008 1.2 auto GT-line has been popping up various error messages for the last few months. When I restart the ignition, the messages are no longer there. It has been to the dealers four times about this (twice each to two dealers). They check the car's log file and agree that this is happenin...

Re: Traffic Alerts

I find it comes and goes. It always vanishes going from Wrexham and Liverpool, but if I stop and switch the ignition off, it comes back. It never vanishes when travelling in the other direction.
