Peugeot 208

The supermini that replaced the 207, and the highest-volume Peugeot in Europe — the single clearest gap this catalogue had. Two facts change its diagnosis before anything else. The first-generation 1.2 PureTech's wet timing belt runs in oil and degrades into the sump, where the debris blocks the oil pump pickup: it presents as low oil pressure or a timing-correlation code on an engine with no external symptom, and it is the defining fault of the whole PureTech family. The second car adds a battery-electric e-208 on CMP, which shares the body and none of the powertrain.

Service information

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
