2024 Peugeot 5008 1.5L Diesel · SY53 AMS

On 1.5 and 2.0 BlueHDi diesel models, the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) AdBlue tank houses an integrated pump, heating element, and urea level sensor. Crystallisation of urea solution and internal circuit board failure cause delivery failure, illuminating the UREA warning lamp and initiating a non-restart countdown (commencing at 700 miles). Because the tank is a sealed unit, complete replacement of the tank assembly is required.

The 5008 features an 8-inch or 10-inch central touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Software glitches in the NAC telematics unit cause screen freezes, blackouts, sluggish response, and random reboots. Because heating, air conditioning, and seat ventilation controls are routed solely through the central screen, software crashes render cabin temperature adjustments impossible while driving.

As a full seven-seat SUV capable of carrying heavy passenger loads, the 5008 places high stress on its rear coil springs, shock absorbers, and trailing-arm axle bushes. In UK conditions, road salt and potholes cause rear coil springs to crack (especially the bottom pigtail coil), while deteriorated beam bushes cause dull knocking over speed humps and excessive rear tyre inner-edge scrubbing.
