Common Peugeot Problems Kenyan Drivers Experience
1. Overheating Issues
Nairobi traffic and high temperatures often strain Peugeot engines. Overheating usually results from:
- Faulty sensors
- Radiator problems
- Low coolant
We run full cooling system tests and use Peugeot-compatible coolant for long-term protection.
2. Automatic Gearbox Jerking
A common issue in Peugeot 308, 3008, and 508. Causes include:
- Old ATF fluid
- Gearbox software faults
- Worn clutch components
Our team uses Peugeot Diagbox to pinpoint gearbox errors precisely.
3. Electrical & Sensor Faults
Modern Peugeot cars use many sensors that can fail due to:
- Poor battery health
- Local fuel impurities
- Age
We scan over 180+ Peugeot systems using advanced diagnostic equipment.
4. Suspension & Steering Problems
Kenyan roads can damage Peugeot suspension components, leading to:
- Knocking noises
- Hard steering
- Uneven tyre wear
We provide high-quality replacements and wheel alignment.
