All 2 Known Issues
On the 2007-2026 Peugeot 308, the 308 diesel models experience frequent DPF regeneration failures, especially in stop-start urban driving conditions. The additive-based DPF system requires periodic Eolys fluid refills that are often overlooked during servicing.
Common Symptoms
- DPF warning light
- Limp mode activation
- Failed regeneration attempts
- Exhaust smoke during regen
How to Fix
Top up the Eolys DPF additive fluid, perform a forced regeneration, and clean the DPF pressure sensor pipes. Replace the DPF if soot loading exceeds recoverable levels.
On the 2014-2026 Peugeot 308, the AdBlue (SCR) system on BlueHDi engines triggers false fault warnings and countdown timers to engine disable. The NOx sensor and AdBlue injector are primary failure points, often caused by crystallized fluid.
Common Symptoms
- AdBlue warning light
- Engine start countdown
- NOx sensor fault
- Reduced power
How to Fix
Replace the NOx sensor and clean the AdBlue injector. Flush the AdBlue tank if crystallization is present. Reset the SCR system counters with diagnostic equipment.
