Problems with Peugeot Expert Diesel 2008: Check Engine light, DPF regeneration and preheating light

DPF regeneration failure

Check engine light on

Pre-glow light won't turn off

Black smoke from exhaust on acceleration

Longer cold start time

Hey guys, I'm currently struggling with my 2008 Peugeot Expert Diesel: The check engine light is constantly on, when accelerating it smokes black from the exhaust, DPF regeneration no longer works properly, and the preheating light doesn't go out. Starting time when cold is also getting longer. I suspect there may be a fault with the preheating relay, but I'm not entirely sure. Have any of you had similar symptoms and can give me a few tips? I would like to know what was done in the workshop and what your experiences were. Thanks in advance!

Hi. It's a bit similar to the problem I had with my 2006 Peugeot Boxer diesel. I only have a bit of experience with cars, but when the same thing happened to me, it was a faulty glow plug due to wear and tear. The glow plugs had to be replaced at the garage and it cost me €560. You can go to the nearest specialist and have the glow plugs checked. He also reset the indicator light. There have been no further problems since then. Can you tell us any more about your vehicle? It might also help to know if you have done any modifications or repairs recently. Best of luck to you!

Hi, thanks for your feedback! It could well be the glow plugs, which I haven't had checked yet. After my last inspection at 28859 km, I didn't make any changes or repairs. I will follow your advice and have the glow plugs checked. Keep your fingers crossed that everything will be better afterwards!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for, to help each other! The symptoms strongly suggest a problem with the glow plugs, so I think you're on the right track. Make sure you have it checked and then let us know if it has solved the problem. Changing the glow plugs on my Boxer made a huge difference too. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's the same for you and that you have no further worries with the car. All the best!

Hi, thanks again for the support! I will definitely have the glow plugs checked and then report here whether it has solved the problem. I also hope that it is exactly that and that everything runs smoothly again afterwards. Your positive experience definitely gives me hope. I'll keep you up to date. See you then and take good care of yourselves!
