3008 GT Line - Any other 3008 drivers?

subbytna · 5 Oct 2023 at 15:22

Got this one on Saturday.

2018
1.2 petrol
40k miles

Wow there's a load of tech on there that I'm trying to understand how it all works lol.

Any tips for a new 3008 driver?

One thing I've noticed is the "kangaroo juice judder" when I go from 1-2 and 2-3 gears. The clutch seems a lot deeper than in my last car. Is this a thing? The biting point of the clutch seems hard to find easily when depressing the clutch and accelerator pedal. I'd love a smoother transition between the gears so any advice would be good

Aren't you a bit young to give up on life?

I needed a bigger car for the twins growing. 2018 is the better year for this model so that's why I got that year in particular.

Its a car not a red wine

National garage reports for 3008 faults, puts the 2018 year as most reliable, then 2020 and later.

2017 being the worst year for faults, followed by 2019

You say that like a 3008 is the only car ever made and have no choice other than age.

I like the look of it and it was in my budget.

I own a 3008, a 2021 Allure Premium automatic.

I really like it, it feels a lot more premium than you'd expect from a Peugeot.
The steering wheel looks weird at first but I really like it now, I got a Citroen C3 courtesy car for the last service and it felt like I was driving a truck with a big wheel.

I've always used Apple CarPlay with Google Maps and Spotify.

It does take getting used to everything being done through the infotainment screen, esp the aircon.
If the screen does freeze (it's only happened to me once), then with the engine on press and hold the phone piano key for 10 seconds, the system will reboot when you release.

Handy to know that about the reboot thanks.

Do you have the fragrance box in your glove compartment? I had a look on Saturday and all three compartments with the different smells, was empty they had all dissolved.

I had a look on the 3008 forums and found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMm0sZTJ9g4

I did same thing and it worked a charm, cost me £4.99 for the freshener instead of the £52 that Peugeot charge lol.

What is this bulb (Circled in red) I need to replace it as it has gone out

Has it a specific name? I'm looking to change it myself but want to know what it's called so I can get a youtube video how to change it.

I think that would be the front fog lamp.

It seems to come on with the rest of the car lights when the fog light isn't selected.

That would normally be a fog lamp there. Seems odd it would be on all the time, it can't be doing very much as it won't be bright enough to actually be a fog lamp if on all the time.

I'm wondering if it's some sort of driving light. I've asked on the Peugeot forums too.

Wife noticed it was out when I got home yesterday so need to get it changed.

It's a H11 bulb, ordered and going to throw it in this weekend. Cheers

Its a turning light/fog light. It lights up when your'e going round a corner. Bit odd but that's wht it does.
