Latest update to my 2012 Peugeot 3008.

On the way to Penang, Aircon not cold. Replaced compressor in Penang. On the way back to KL, alternator died. Replaced in Penang.

Back in KL, Aircon not cold again. This time, condenser coil kaput. Replaced in KL.

Drove to Penang for work and suddenly lost power or stuck in limp mode. Drove back slowly below 100kph and found turbo housing cracked!

Fucking piece of French shit. Everything broke down within 2 weeks. Need to spend approx RM 5k.

Will fix the turbo housing first. If more faults, it is up for sale below RM 20k.

I'm going back to my beloved 1990 Mitsubishi Galant VR4. Will detuned back to stock for daily driving.

New cars too many unreliable electronics and poor quality components just like an iPhone.

Wah.. mine also still in the workshop 6 weeks already still cannot source parts for the ECU

Can any owner share your experience regarding this car reliability and maintenance cost after 1 year and the half? Like breakdown and many issue during this period... They currently have the 5+3+1 promotion and it looks tempting. XD Thanks

Not a single problem here
The drive and comfort is lightyears of any jap

new 3008? how long u been driving the car?

3008 owners, after park ur car , open the engine bay , feel the heat . With time this heat will cause the plastic parts to fail ....n there are lots of it . Prepare after warranty nightmare .....from ex owner

Believe most turbo engine had this problem, ie engine running hotter than n.a.

Some proton cfe equipped car even had the fan running almost 5 minutes after engine off. (battery life suffer)

Hi,

After reading this whole thread, is 3008 still having many issues as highlight from the whole thread above?

You’re in a building. You see smoke and a glimpse of fire down the hallway of the building.

Do you
A. Stick around
B. Get out immediately
C. Walk towards the smoke and fire to find out what’s going on

In Malaysia most people choose C, oddly enough.

The trend is pretty much the same. New car owners will defend their purchase. What I noticed most consistently is not a single ex-owner will recommend Peugeot.
