[CitroJim]

Good to see its a French one Husky

[Huskyxantia]

Bye bye little 207 I will miss your charm and reliability, hello to the 2008 ... oh why does my gut feel sad .

[CitroJim]

Nice one Husky Is that the 1.6 8V HDi hiding under the bonnet? If so, you'll find an absolute beaut of an engine.

I trust you'll both be very happy together

[Huskyxantia]

I think so , strange this isn't ulez free yet the bluehdi is same emission numbers just the set up which I find odd, yet a 2015 2.0hdi peugeot RCZ I once was looking at was ulez free.

My C3 Pic is. It's a bit later than your 2008 and is a Blue HDi. Does your 2008 have AdBlue?

[Huskyxantia]

No to be honest i personally steared away from the adblue system , for a couple of reasons , I dont drive in the ulez zones , plus didnt want the nightmare of pumps failing or the crystals problem, even though the emissions figures are the same numbers and tax price ( the ones i was looking at) just having the other system warrents no charge ,,but more chemicals being added to the fuel , I just don't get get , I understand what this adblue does and so on , I just think a small drop of this chemical drops all ulez and other charges , now if this was done in the fuel and the cars made to take it without fancy tanks and so on just image how many people would take that option and how much the wonderful mayor of London would lose

[CitroJim]

Yep, if you can steer away from AdBlue them do... Touch wood mine has been OK in the 'van but that may soon be academic - see my blog...

Hence why Jim , reading about the crystal problems, the pumps failing, the diagnostic problems or resetting the system and the wrong miles showing up and so on , was a big no from me

Perfectly understandable Husky!

Agree about the worries with respect to the Adblue system. In short Euro 6 compliant = blue HDi= Adblue system.
I think 2015 / 2016 was changeover so a mix of Euro 5 and Euro 6 models sold.

Your 2008 engine looks identical to that of the 2011 Grey 208 SW here.

Does it mention e-HDi on its paperwork (can't see it on the boot - a little rectangular badge on the back of the 308) I think e-HDi translates as Euro 5 with start-stop system.

[Huskyxantia]

Its the e-hdi euro 5 £20 road tax with the s s system but this has been turned off as it hasn't done any stop starting and tbh im pleased its off as that can be a pain in the neck as well . It has emergency brake assistance, which worked well the other day while driving away from the log shed down grassed and gravel track , a weed so high in line with front sensor brought me to a stop , made me laugh to myself
