I had a quick squint but nothing much, apart from if you open the boot lid and it's got water in it it'll pour it into the boot :roll: Search a few forums, fcf etc. but I reckon it's still too new for all the problems to surface.

Indeed, ask again in 10 years time :roll:

Might get some clues from www.peugeotforums.com. So far the 508 stuff seems pretty superficial; the answers are usually "read the manual" or "go back to the dealer". The 407 stuff might give a few clues of what is to come; that seems to be mostly FAP related or navigation/radio system not working.

Why not?

What on earth have you got planned for it?

Is that possible?!

Doesn't the 508 have a service contract that means when it breaks down you push the Peugeot button on the dashboard and they come and sort you out? (I know Mercedes do this.)

Now of course the first thing we need to do here is de-fap and re-map. Fetch your computer and your hammer doggy... :lol:

That seems sensible.

They seem to like their Skodas round here.

I'd expect the 1.6 HDis to get thrashed and duly die. The 2.0 aren't very efficient on town driving---irrespective of what car you put them in.
