Spacious and adaptable with up to seven seats, the Peugeot 5008 impresses with its elegance and handling. Like any vehicle, it is not immune to gearbox failure, whether manual or automatic. EDEN BOITES is here to help you maintain, diagnose and replace the gearbox on your Peugeot 5008.
Peugeot 5008 Gearboxes
Launched in 2009 as an MPV, the 5008 was offered with outputs ranging from 110 to 163 bhp. A 6-speed automatic gearbox was paired with the 1.6 THP 156, 1.6 e-HDi 115 and 2.0 HDi 163, while a 5-speed manual gearbox accompanied the 1.6 VTi 120 and a 6-speed manual gearbox the remaining engines. From 2013, the BMP6 6-speed automated manual gearbox was added to the range as an option.
The 2016 generation retained a 6-speed automatic gearbox (1.2 PureTech 130, 1.6 THP 165, 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 BlueHDi) and introduced an EAT8 8-speed automatic gearbox on the 1.6 PureTech 180 and 2.0 BlueHDi 177, with the BVM6 remaining available. The 2020 generation, equipped with Stop & Start and compliant with Euro 6 standards, offers either the BVM6 or EAT8 depending on the engine.
Recognising a Fault
Several symptoms should raise the alarm: juddering, gears slipping, the engine stalling as soon as you release the clutch, or automatic gear selections that do not suit your driving. At the first signs, book your vehicle in with a mechanic: on a BMP6, the fault may lie with the actuator or the control unit; on a manual gearbox, it could be worn components or loose mountings. Only a thorough diagnosis can distinguish between a simple oil top-up, an oil change, or a full removal.
Repair or Replace the Gearbox?
The problems associated with an automatic gearbox and a manual gearbox do not present in the same way: causes and solutions differ. After diagnosis, your mechanic will recommend a course of action. When replacement is necessary, you are free to source the part yourself, with labour costs then limited to fitting alone. A reconditioned gearbox is a reliable and long-lasting solution.
