Service & Repair

Common problems
Common Peugeot 5008 problems we fix
These are the issues we see most often on the 5008. Whatever the symptom, we diagnose first and explain the fix before any work starts.
Suspension and brakes
A full load of passengers wears bushes, links and brakes faster. We check and replace worn parts before they become unsafe.
02PureTech timing belt
Petrol 5008s with the PureTech engine need their in-oil timing belt inspected and replaced on time.
03AdBlue warnings
BlueHDi diesel 5008s can show AdBlue faults. We find the failing component instead of guessing.
04Automatic gearbox
EAT6 and EAT8 shift problems diagnosed and fixed, with fluid service where needed.
