Oil pressure warning at hot idle and a hard brake pedal

2016 · Peugeot 208 · 1.2 PureTech 110 · 112,000 km

P0524

Root cause: The timing belt that runs in the oil had degraded; belt particles blocked the oil pickup strainer and the brake vacuum pump oil feed.

Siren noise under boost, blue smoke and loss of power

2009 · Peugeot 308 · 1.6 HDi 110 (9HZ) · 165,000 km
