Peugeot 308 AdBlue Problems — Diagnosed & Fixed
Car · 1.5 BlueHDi 130 · 2.0 BlueHDi 180 (GT)
The 308 BlueHDi is the PSA hatch we see most for AdBlue work — particularly the 1.5 BlueHDi 130, a popular company-car choice. Downstream NOx sensor failure dominates the fault pattern.
308 owners typically arrive with anti-pollution + AdBlue messages and a 'risk of no engine start' escalation. We fix the root cause, not just the dashboard symptom.
