Peugeot 2008 gearbox: models
The 1st generation Peugeot 2008 vehicles were produced between 2013 and 2023. Their petrol engines are 1.2 PureTech, with 82, 110 or 130 hp. Diesel vehicles started with a 1.4 HDi engine. Later came the 1.6 e-HDi, 1.5 BlueHDi and 1.6 BlueHDi engines.
If your Peugeot 2008 is 1st generation, the gearbox can be manual, with 5 or 6 speeds, or automatic, with 4 or 6 speeds. This is the case with the Peugeot 2008 1.6 HDI 5-speed gearbox.
New powertrains have accompanied the launch of the 2nd generation, in 2019. The 1.2 PureTech model is available with 155 hp, and the 1.5 BlueHDi with 130 hp. In addition, the 4- and 6-speed automatic gearboxes have been replaced by an 8-speed automatic gearbox, the EAT8. Also new is an electric model, the Peugeot 2008 e-136, equipped with a 1-speed automatic gearbox.
Since January 2024, a 1.2 PureTech 136 hp hybrid engine has replaced the 1.5 BlueHDi 130. This model features a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox and an integrated electric motor.
These developments have been synonymous with success for the Sochaux-based brand. In 2022, the Peugeot 2008 topped the SUV sales charts in France.
When should I repair my gearbox?
However popular it may be, the Peugeot 2008 wears out over time. Your gearbox may be showing signs of fatigue. Here are the main symptoms that should alert you:
- Shocks during gear shifting;
- Soft clutch pedal;
- Friction or scraping noises;
- Slow throttle response;
- Oil stains.
Watch for these signals and observe when they occur. When you start up? When accelerating?
Problems and possible solutions
To prevent the problem from getting worse, take action as soon as you notice any of these symptoms. We advise you to visit a professional garage, as dismantling the part is a complex operation.
Common problems
The technician will make a precise diagnosis after observing your gearbox. The problem may be :
- Worn components : for example, sprockets or bearings can become damaged over time, affecting overall gearbox operation;
- A gear cable in poor condition: a cable connecting the gearshift to the gearbox can slacken or break, affecting gear shifting;
- Faulty mechatronics: this is the part's central control unit. In the event of failure, the gearbox will not shift correctly;
- Transmission failure: after 160,000 kilometers, vehicle transmission components can show signs of wear;
- Problems with the transmission fluid : if the fluid is leaking or dirty, lubrication of the mechanism may be insufficient.
How to repair the gearbox on your Peugeot 2008?
The professional will present you with the solutions best suited to your problem. One of these is to repair or replace the faulty component. For example, it's possible to change the mechatronics without having to replace the whole box.
In the event of a transmission fluid leak, the mechanic will change the seals and refill the fluid. If the fluid is clogged, he'll drain it.
However, in more serious cases, it may be necessary to change the gearbox altogether.
