Peugeot 2008 Failed Fuel Additive Pump
Peugeot 2008 Failed Fuel Additive Pump
A Peugeot 2008 came into the garage recently with a conspicuous “failed pump” warning light on the dashboard;
These kinds of problems are becoming increasingly frequent.
This is one of jobs that will become a more common site here at Pellon Autocentre Halifax UK.
We immediately began troubleshooting the problem because the driver was worried, as you would be when warning lights appear in the cab. It did not take long to determine that the fuel additive pump was the source of the issue, as it is an essential component in reducing emissions and adhering to more stringent standards.
Like other Peugeot cars, the 2008 model uses PAT fluid
Of course, a unique ingredient that helps cut down on hazardous emissions. If you’re acquainted with AdBlue, it’s quite similar to that.
However, in this instance, the pump that is intended to feed the additive into the fuel system was the problem, not the fluid itself. We had to do some investigating before we could conclude that the pump was really damaged.
Peugeot regrettably chose to complicate things by integrating the PAT fluid tank and the fuel additive pump into a single unit; thus, replacing the pump alone was not an option. A little more work, but sometimes that’s how things work.
We placed an order for the new unit, which is not typically delivered the next day if you’ve ever dealt with Peugeot components. We quickly had it fitted after it arrived. However, installing the pump and tank is just half the task.
The Peugeot 2008 and other contemporary vehicles
are jam-packed with sensors and electronics, and you have to inform the vehicle when a new part has been installed.
We reset the “failed pump” warning light, reprogrammed the system, and connected it to the diagnostic system. You want to avoid having that thing staring at you after you’ve resolved the issue, don’t you?
Turning on the engine and hearing nothing but the sound of a healthy engine—no lights, no warnings—is always a pleasing experience.
It made me consider-Peugeot 2008 Failed Fuel Additive Pump
As usual, how much has changed in the garage over the years. I recall a time when repairing an automobile only required swapping out parts and turning spanners—nevermind software updates or reprogramming. However, that’s progress, and it’s what keeps us at Pellon Autocentre alert.
The customer, who was a resident of Savile Park-Peugeot 2008 Failed Fuel Additive Pump
mentioned that they had visited Shibden Hall for the day. I couldn’t help but say this. It always makes me happy when someone mentions some local history. It’s incredible how much is going on in Halifax, even if you’re only here for a car repair, with Anne Lister and all that!
Therefore, try not to become upset if your Peugeot or any other modern car is giving you warnings. We have the equipment and expertise to fix it when it’s just a broken part, like this fuel additive pump. We’ll have you back on the road quickly if you just stop by. And who knows, maybe I’ll learn a few more tales about your adventures!
