Peugeot 5008 1st gen. is a car that debuted in June 2009. The crossover built in French Sochauk is highly technologically linked to Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. The manufacturer claims that the name of the new model is not accidental. The number 5 indicates family vehicles, the double middle zero assumes the appointment of a suitable high engine in terms of construction and driver's seat, while 8 defines the generation to which the car belongs.

Peugeot 5008 body 1st gen. is 4529 mm long, 1837 mm wide and 1639 mm high, making the body fit perfectly. It can accommodate up to 7 passengers. The interior is not big enough to accommodate so many passengers, so the optimal choice would be five people plus luggage, and a bench set up in the boot is better treated as a last resort. For families of seven, Peugeot offers the Model 807. When the extra seats at 5008 are in the floor, the luggage space is 579 liters, and the rear seat displacement to the front gives a capacity of 678 liters. If desired, the second row of 5008 seats can be folded so that two passengers will have a trunk of 2506 liters.

• Timing Chain Spanner on VTi and THP Engines

At Peugeot 5008, the first years were difficult. Many small and big worries have led to the damage to the reputation of this model. Almost all engines are exposed to problems. Only the 1.6 e-HDI 115 and 2.0 HDI 150 and 163 save a bit of parts. But you suffer the "non-mechanical" evils that the 5008 experienced. In short, one must be very careful when buying a Peugeot 5008 and focus on the model after 2013, in which the problems have almost disappeared.

Unfortunately, the Peugeot 5008 is not a reliable car. To a large extent, it depends on the choice of engine. The worst ones are the gasoline versions, especially 1.6 THP, which have common problems with the divorce, after-fill system, while other units are too weak. It is better to choose diesel, especially the 2.0 HDI.

Gearboxes impress neither precision nor working.

Engine Error 2.0 HDI 150. Engine failure on models manufactured to 2010. The fault is due to a poor oil pump that does not allow for efficient lubrication of the engine. Mistakes are rare. Peugeot replaced the oil pump with a recall in December 2012.

Turbo. Mostly on the 1.6 HDI 110, but also a bit on the 112, a turbocharged failure, sometimes before 50 km. It may cause the engine to malfunction. And the cause sometimes comes from injection (dilution of oil with diesel, suction of turbo ...).

With 1.6 HDI diesel engines manufactured until the beginning of 2014, nozzle failures have become more frequent. The problem is manifested by a warning light for engine failure and insufficient engine power.

With 1.6 THP gasoline engines, the camshaft mechanism, including the tensioners, is a weak link. The problem first sounds like metallic noise and later like a loss of engine power. Failure to replace the housing in a timely manner can result in serious engine failure.

Some owners report a clutch hydraulic cylinder leak. Leaking oil can cause the clutch to grease and then destroy it.

1.6 THP gasoline engines have cases of water pump leaks and failures of the temperature sensor and coolant height.

Vehicles manufactured to 2013 have problems with loud shock absorbers, especially the rear ones.

In some cases, the owners encountered insufficient air conditioning. The problem was solved by replacing the capacitor and / or compressor.

Many drivers complain about the internal noise coming from the dashboard and under the seat.

Loud mechanism when lowering side windows.

Increased number of rear seat movement problems.

Poor quality and consequently rapid wear on the steering wheel.

Loss of GPS signal. The GPS receiver very often loses the GPS navigation signal.

Common problems with a multimedia unit that does not allow Bluetooth connectivity and does not detect USB. Most often the problem is solved by reprogramming.

Parking sensors are constantly blowing. The error is resolved by upgrading the program.
