Hi
Here goes my first post on the forum.
Bought a 2017 3008 back in Feb with 35k on the clock. Now reached 40k and basically car is fine with one exception. Since I got it I notice a significant vibration if I accelerate hard from a standstill. Lasts only a few seconds. Is this a common thing with these cars or is there a possible fault here and has anyone experienced this? My local Peugeot expert thinks it's ok and the harsh vibration is a result of the 3 cylinder engine.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Roland

I believe your local expert is correct, it is a function of the 3 cylinder engine. I'm on mt third 1.2 auto and all three have had this characteristic.

Thanks Deccadick
Strange that Peugeot didn't try something to counteract this. We have a Fiesta with the 3 cyl
Ecoboost and this is very smooth. Anyway your reply puts my mind at rest so much appreciated.
Cheers
Roland
