Laurent K., originally from Savene (44 years old), careful motorist. This reader did a great job of taking our advice when he decided to buy a in early 2022 Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 110 second hand His choice fell on the 2017 model, which then had a little less than 70,000 km on its odometer. What convinces Laurent to choose this car is the clear maintenance history. It was also a gift from the previous owner all invoices which attest to this. Also, this 308 was seen in 2019 timing belt replaced in a recall organized by the brand. But despite these precautions, the check engine light came on last March on the dashboard…

Parted hair

Laurent has no choice but to leave his car at the car dealership Peugeot. Then he told him that the three-cylinder camshaft was worn. An observation that surprises our reader. The only solution to the problem: replacing the engine! Paid intervention 6,559 euros. Therefore, Laurent instructs the garage to send a request for participation to the manufacturer. A bad player, the latter suspects the use of E85 bioethanol and orders tests to prove it, hoping to shift the blame to his client. But the results are negative, and then Peugeot offers a support of about 59%, ie. 2712 euros remains to be paid to our reader. None for this account.
