Peugeot 208 Diesel: Navigation and warning light problems - suspected faulty coding

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Navigationssystem is not working

General electric malfunction

Hi guys, I'm really worried about my 2018 Peugeot 208 Diesel and hope someone in this group has experience with similar problems. My satnav is acting up, there's a power error and the warning light in the speedometer is on. I've now done 137,163 km and on my last visit to the garage I wasn't really satisfied. I suspect the whole thing has something to do with incorrect coding. Has anyone experienced anything like this? How did it go with your mechanic? Thank you in advance and I hope someone can help.

Hi, that does sound like a faulty control unit. Had a similar problem with my 2017 Peugeot 308 diesel, the sat nav was also acting up and the warning lights in the speedo were always on. It turned out that the main problem was a faulty control unit that was affecting the current flow and coding. The necessary work in the workshop involved replacing the control unit and then coding it correctly. It was quite a serious problem as the ECU is responsible for the proper functioning of many parts of the car. All the symptoms you describe sound very similar to what I had. I hope this helps you and good luck with your car. It's annoying, but don't panic - it's fixable.

Hi and thanks for your quick reply, your experience seems very close to what I'm going through with my 208 right now. I will probably have to have the control unit changed too. Can I ask you how much it cost you and if there has been another problem since? Thanks again!

Moin Moin, I'm glad to hear that my experience has helped you. In my case, it was exactly what you suspect - the control unit had to be replaced. It wasn't much fun, I tell you. It cost a whopping €1000, but what can you do when it's broken, right? Since then, however, the problem with the chaotic navigation system and the illuminated warning lights has no longer been noticeable, which was of course a huge weight off my mind. So in short, since I went to see the mechanic, the fault with the incorrect coding has been fixed. Good luck with your car, buddy! Don't forget to keep us updated here, yeah?

Hi, Quite expensive, this control unit, but if it gets the car running again, it's probably worth it. If no other problems have occurred, it sounds like a solid solution. Thanks for your support. Now I at least have an idea of what I might be facing and I will definitely think about tackling the repair. Yeah sure, I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again, buddy!
