Peugeot 2008 Intermittent Starting Issue

My 2023 Peugeot 2008 diesel is giving me grief. Sometimes it won't start, other times it cuts out while driving, and occasionally runs rough. Mileage is at 120087 km. I've checked the dashboard lights, and everything seems normal. Could this be an ignition switch problem?

Sounds familiar! I had similar issues with my 2008 (also diesel). Engine wouldn't start randomly, and then would just die on me. Have you checked the fuses? A defective fuse could cause this.

Thanks! Which fuse are you referring to specifically? And where is it located?

It was the fuse for the car electronics, under the hood in the fuse box. Honestly, though, I tried replacing it, and it helped for a bit, but the problem came back. Ended up taking it to a workshop, and they sorted it out properly. I would suggest doing the same.

Thanks for the advice! It turned out to be exactly what you said. I went to the workshop; they replaced the defective fuse, and now the car runs smoothly. Total cost was 52€. Appreciate the help!
