The high pressure fuel pump has a life rating of 5 million turns only.
Meaning to say, if you do 70-80 km daily trips with speeds below 110 kph, the pump should last about 5-6 years or longer. The replacement cost is over RM 4k easy. It used to be RM 2.5k many years ago.
However, if you always high rev and speeding over 150-160 kph plus high mileage driving, it will only last max 3-4 years. People who raced with their Peugeots often had another spare car to use.
Used pumps are useless because the core plunger is not replaceable and still has the same 5 million turns. So, if the used pump already been through 4 million turns and later recon or rebuild, the usable usage is only 1 million turns.
That's why some recon or rebuild only lasted 3-6 months. Pump sellers only give 3 months warranty and made huge profits. Worst still, some pumps were rebuild many times and each time the usable lifespan decreases.
Being the owner of 3008 year 2012, it would be better to avoid any turbo cars with high pressure pumps all together because that component has the highest failure in the car's life.
Right now, I'm selling my 3008 cheaply and moving to something else. Perhaps an Exora Bold CFE which has the same engine capacity plus turbo but no high pressure fuel pump.
Don't listen to the salesman or drivers who only used their Peugeots for weekends. Daily drivers or speed demons will suffer multiple holes in their wallets. Trust me. Been there before.
Why the pump failures? Simply because it was located in the hot engine bay. With our weather, the seals will start to breakdown sooner. Most conti has this type of setup since Day 1. Japanese or Korean marques had their high pressure fuel pump in the fuel tank where it is cooled by the fuel.
Overall, it was a good car but the amount of maintenance is no laughing joke. You can buy a cheap Peugeot for less than 10k but within a year, the repair costs can hit more than 10k easily. Plus, it behaves like a fuckin laptop with various nags and warnings.
Your generation of 3008 was crappy just like the 308 T7. I have the 308 T9 (2015) which uses the same high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) as the current generation 3008 and it lasted me 9 years / 160k km before requiring replacement and it was only RM1.5k for a brand new original part. The previous version in your car costs more than the new version but konks much faster. I agree that such parts should not die prematurely but based on the mileage and price for my case I think its not unreasonable for the current generation's HPFP.Meaning to say, if you do 70-80 km daily trips with speeds below 110 kph, the pump should last about 5-6 years or longer.

I understand your frustration of having to deal with the crappy Pugs of that generation but the cars that came out 2014 onward are much better quality both in the drive train and also the interior build quality. The 408, e408, 308 T9, 3008 and 4008 based on the EMP2 platform are much more reliable and built to a higher standard. I understand that once bitten twice shy, but the hate on Peugeots, Kias and Hyundais are no longer warranted but are being perpetuated by former owners of their inferior products.
