Problems with Peugeot 2008 Diesel 2019: Black smoke, engine failures and starting difficulties

Hey guys, I have a question about my Peugeot 2008 Diesel, built in 2019. Somehow the car is going crazy at the moment, all sorts of strange symptoms that I'm not familiar with. The car blows black smoke out of the exhaust when accelerating, the check engine light comes on, the engine just stalls and the cold start takes longer. The engine performance is inconsistent, it consumes more diesel than usual and sometimes it won't start at all. I have a suspicion that the cold start injector could be a problem, but maybe you have other ideas. Have any of you had similar experiences and can perhaps tell me how your garage solved the problem? Would like to understand how I can narrow it down better. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi mate, sounds like you have a similar problem to what I had with my 2017 Peugeot 208 diesel. The symptoms were very similar and it turned out the engine control unit was faulty. My car knowledge is on a low experience level. I took my car to my garage and they identified the faulty part and replaced it. It cost me 1000 euros to fix the problem. Could you give me a few more details about your car? Mileage, exact model name, etc.? Maybe then I can help you more precisely.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. My 2008 Peugeot has run 18890 km so far. I've let the service slide a bit lately, but I want to tackle it. I'll keep the engine control unit in mind, good idea. Thanks for the tip!

No problem, we drivers have to stick together, don't we? Okay, with the mileage, a defective engine control unit would be really strange, but not impossible. I think you really should visit a garage and have it checked, there's probably something wrong. The symptoms you describe are pretty clear. I hope you get it under control soon, it's certainly very annoying when the car doesn't run properly. Let me know what the garage comes up with. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing serious. And you should really catch up with the service, it could also be a trigger for problems like this.

Hey, you bet we have to! Yes, I'm also wondering about the mileage. I will definitely visit a garage. It really frustrates me a lot, especially because I actually like the car. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. Thanks for the encouraging words, I also hope it's nothing serious. I will definitely take the service more seriously from now on. Thanks again for your help!
