What a terrible car which I have been regretting every day after my purchase! I am constantly repaired the car: fuel pump (high pressure pump first then low pressure pump in total 3000 as my Peugeot 308cc broke down on the underground garage the tow truck 900 dollars). Timing chain, boot, engine oil leaking every 6 months(no joking) Peugeot head office told me this is normal(I purchased a brand new car and the engine start to leak from the first year after repairs it regularly leak in 6 months time) the I have to pay 380 dollars per wash the engine bay! I spend more than 13000 dollars for repair a 7 years old car and have to rent car for 4 months time (all add together as Peugeot will tell you they are too busy to give you a loan car while your Peugeot is broken car)!!! I am here try to tell everyone please do yourself a favor DO NOT BUY PEUGEOT unless you want broke done at highway or constantly call tow truck to pay Peugeot mechanics more money!

Yep we just paid Peugeot dealership just over $5500 to fix a limp mode/ check engine fault for our can.
We didn’t even get 20mins up the road and same thing happened. Went into limp mode again and warning lights came on. Told them we want a replacement vechile also while it was in there for 4wks!!!!! And not fixed!! Spent over $5500 and nothing has changed!! So angry that we cannot demand our money back or have any rights over Peugeot doing this to us!! Called them and they said they don’t know what it is?? So if Peugeot dealership mechanics cannot fix it and rip us off then what do we do??? We have a 2014 expert van sitting here as we do t know who knows how to fix it and have spent all that money already. SO SO AnGRy that they charge us for it or we could t get the van back
ok I've read and read and read, but I'm still drawn to the Peugeot, I can't help it. So despite all the naysayers, of which I am grateful for your honesty and sorry for your troubles. This what I want to ask, I have an opportunity to purchase a third hand 308 allure touring wagon, 2015/2016 diesel with 66,000 km for less than $13,000. Is this car worth it, are there any issues typical of a diesel and of the 308 touring allure specifically that we should be aware of?

My wife and I owned a 2008 XSE Hdi 2.0l turbo diesel wagon which we bought nine years ago with 33000Km on the clock and we traded it about 20 months ago with 147000Km on it. Only real issue we had was a sensor needed replacing, cost around $400. Spoke to my local Pug mechanic who said the diesels really are the only way to go. I would make sure the service history is intact, the correct oil has been used for servicing etc. The auto's are a non serviceable unit, so if they die it will cost a bomb to replace/fix. I'd check with your local auto trans specialist on their opinion. Other than that, if it's been looked after they're worth looking at a little harder for sure.
Thank you for your response. We passed it up, even though we loved the care, but after speaking with four mechanics they all advised unless you do regular long distance highway driving diesels are problematic for city driving only. Really appreciate your advise.

Just purchased a new 308 hdi turbo diesel sportium hatch 2010.
It surges when warming up & cuts out mainly if the fan is on draining power.
Now my 'check engine light' came on tonight 12/04/2019.
About to read books again-troubleshooting....
Any advice, greatly appreciated, as I want to be proud of my new car to friends & family, not put them off Peugots'.

I have a 2009 peugeot 308 2.0 hdi auto . I had deen having random starting problems, now the car stalls and when started again the snowflake and sport symbols flash when driving and the auto only stays in 3rd . If ignition is turned off for a few minutes the fault goes away for a short time before returning. I have just had the car serviced, trans oil changed, filters replaced and fault codes reset . When this fault happens the transmission clunks when engaging drive or reverse.
Any Ideas on how to rectify this ?

Bloke is selling his 2010 308 xse turbo and has been running hi octane, do I have to continue using hi octane or can I ease it out and start using normal unleaded or 98?

Do a search for "carbon build up peugeot 308".
Using premium petrol doesn't guarantee you might not still have problems but it _may_ reduce the risk of this happening.

I have a 2013 308cc which has only done 28 000 kms. I looks like it needs a timing chain replacement.i am going to try and get Peugeot to pay for this. Any advice? Has anyone else had a similar experience? It is one yr out of warranty.

im considering buying a 2008 peugeot 308 secondhand and was wondering what people’s opinions are on this exact model, i’m going to be getting it checked before i buy it but i’m just wondering?

Personally I think you are much better off buying a smaller Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Honda even a newer Hyundai.
As with many European cars ... beautiful to look at but high running costs.
Now you making me wonder as I'm buying one. The reviews are quite good actually and I guess like any other car, this car too require maintenance for example, services are only due every 30 000kms. I am late with my reply, but if you did buy one then maybe you can give me your opinion.

I am considering buying a 2010 Peugeot 308 XSE Turbo T7 6-speed Manual. Car looks great, drives well and has around 50,000 kms on the clock. Car will be used around town mainly, but with the odd long distance trip. Would really appreciate feedback from anyone who has the same year/model. Will be fully checked by a mechanic I trust before I purchase.
