Hi,Robert
My 308 Touring XSE has the same problem with you. My car is still been serviced by sutherland service centre while i am writing this message. I wonder how much they charge you each time they deal with the problem “depollution system faulty”?

Thanks.

I am a virgin Peugeot 308 2009 HDI XSE fab leather seats owner. I have always traded in on Commodores and I would have to say this car is the nicest car I have ever driven and the most fuel effiecient. I have had one annoying problem that has not been handled well by the Service Centre near where I live at Sutherland N.S.W. 3 times I have had to take back my car due to a error message ” Depollution System Faulty” turns out through my own research and getting help from a similar thread on aussiefrogs in my case it was caused by a additive put in at the factory that can sludge up the fuel element and lines etc. Only due to my getting the head office involved did this ServiceCentre come round and say they would clean it out but NOT ON WARRANTY but on goodwill.Half the reason you but a new car and enjoy it is being reassured you will get backup service and not having to deal with this dishonest caper. I have never had this “attitude” with any other car. So I’m ontu a new service centre and am hoping from here on in there will be no more teething problems or service centre rubbish.

Wish me luck?

If you brave enough to buy any Peugeot make sure to unload it before warranty expires. These things are programmed to disintegrate. As owner of a 307HDI I see why they feature so prominently in the Dog and Lemon Guide. Buyers beware

I WOULD LOVE TO BUY A 308 TOURING BUT AM TOO AFRAID TO.
I HAVE A 407 ST EXECUTIVE THAT I REALLY LOVE DRIVING BUT HAVE HAD TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. MAYBE A CASE OF ‘ONCE BITTEN’ ????

I have owned Peugeot’s for a few years now including 406HDI 206GTi 206GTi 180 and a 207HDI. About to trade up to a 308 HDI touring. I’ve never had any problems apart from a sticky electric window that was replaced under warranty in the 406. I wouldn’t keep buying them if I had any problems. Great value for money considering the features….

Hey I took out the Peugeot 308 Touring on the weekend, it was a great drive. Very keen to buy one. All my friends say to be careful and Peugeot has one of the worst names in reliability! Is this the case for these new models as well?

I think the 3rd row is a great idea it makes the car more appling to large families aswell as day careers, beautiful car Look forward to hopefully getting one in the next month

Totally agree with John D’s comments above with regards to the acceleration (only when the car is already moving) and internal space (according to the dealer its internal dimensions are even bigger than the 407 touring model).
