1.6L PureTech (EP6FADTXD)
Petrol
Listen for a metallic rattling sound during a cold start-up for the first 30 seconds. | Note: Even in later EP6FADTXD iterations, timing chain tensioner fatigue can occur, leading to chain slack and potential engine timing issues.
Execute low-speed crawls and frequent shifts between 1st, 2nd, and Reverse. | Note: The EAT8 automatic gearbox should be seamless; any hesitation or 'thumping' may indicate a need for a software adaptation or a solenoids service.
Operate the i-Cockpit touchscreen extensively, switching between climate control, Nav, and CarPlay/Android Auto. | Note: The NAC infotainment units can suffer from thermal throttling or internal SD card failure, resulting in black screens or sluggish response.
Perform several hard braking maneuvers from 50km/h to a full stop. | Note: The 5008 is a heavy SUV; pulse through the pedal indicates warped front rotors, which is a common high-wear item on the T87 chassis.
Standard intermediate service including PSA B71 2312 spec oil change and cabin pollen filter replacement to protect the HVAC blower motor.
Major service interval: Replace high-performance spark plugs, brake fluid flush, and a thorough inspection of the accessory drive belt for cracking.
Critical milestone: Replace the accessory belt, inspect the water pump for seepage, and consider a proactive intake valve carbon clean (walnut blasting) due to GDI soot buildup.
Strict adherence to 0W-30 synthetic oil meeting PSA B71 2312 to prevent LSPI (Low Speed Pre-Ignition).
Monitor coolant levels monthly; the plastic expansion tanks are known to develop hairline fractures over time.
Clear the sunroof drainage channels (if equipped) to prevent water ingress into the A-pillar and fuse box.
Battery health check annually; the Stop/Start system is highly sensitive to voltage drops and can trigger ghost fault codes.
Inspect the rear torsion beam bushings for cracks, as NZ's coarse chip roads accelerate wear on these rubber components.
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
Replacement required if the car suffers from stuttering under load or long cranking times.
Preventative replacement if chain stretch is measured beyond 1.5mm variance during inspection.
Standard wear item; use high-quality aftermarket or OEM parts to avoid squeal and ensure stopping power.
Not officially in the 'lifetime' schedule by Peugeot NZ, but highly recommended every 80,000km for longevity.
