Re: 2022 3008 HYBRID BATTERY LOW RANGE

I am very old school with a good engineering background. I could never see the point of a plug in hybrid. A self charging hybrid has significant advantages over a PHEV or a straight forward petrol or diesel. However car manufacturers maintain that they don't supply a spare wheel as standard as it in...

Warning Lights

Re: 2021 !.2 EAT8. Yesterday the message 'Gearbox fault needs repair' suddenly appeared. Within seconds this changed to 'engine fault needs repair' A spanner also appeared and the satnav had plotted a route to my normal Peugeot dealer 10 miles away. I stopped at a shop and when I restarted the car t...

Android auto doesn't sound very 'auto'.

Re: Space saver spare wheel

When I ordered my 1.2 Allure premium in February I noticed from the brochure that a space saver wheel was no longer include as standard. I told the dealer I wasn't happy so he threw it in with the jack and toolkit at no cost to me. So it must be on the Peugeot system.

Re: 1.2 v 1.6 petrol (auto)

I agree. I'm on my 3rd auto 1.2 a 3008 EAT8 preceded by a 2008 EAT6 (66 plate) followed by a 3008 EAT6 (18 plate).

Re: Potential new owner

As an owner of 2 previous EAT6 cars and now an EAT8 3008 I can honestly say that gear changes are imperceptible. I'm nearly 6 ft and have no problems. Why not organise a test drive?

Re: Hi. I’m new to Peugeot.

I guess the first thing to do is to ascertain if the wiring loom contains the necessary for the window motors and switch. Even if it does I suspect the 3 parts will cost at least £300 unless you go to a scrapyard. I reckon the whole idea of an upgrade as you describe is a non starter,
