Common questions
Does the Peugeot 4008 have a timing chain or a timing belt?
1.6 / 1.8 / 2.2 / 2.4 DI-D (Mitsubishi 4N1): chain; 1.5 / 1.6 HDi / TDCi / e-HDi (DV6, 8v / 16v): belt · 150,000 km / every 96 mo.
What are the known problems with the Peugeot 4008?
The faults with the highest risk: timing chain stretch (early 4N14) (100,000–200,000 km, €900–1,800); injector copper seal leak → carbon build-up (80,000–200,000 km, €200–900); CVT judder / belt noise (100,000–180,000 km, €300–3,500); dual-mass flywheel (150,000–220,000 km, €700–1,400). The full list by engine is on this page.
What should you check when buying a used Peugeot 4008?
Before you buy, ask an authorised dealer to check by VIN whether the car has any open recalls. If the engine has a timing belt, ask for the invoice for its replacement: with no proof, assume it has not been done. On the test drive, watch for these signs: rattle, timing codes; ticking, diesel / soot smell, carbon around injectors. The full checklist is in the guide to buying a used car.
