    Why does my 2016 Peugeot 508 tell me to stop the engine while I am driving?
    Answered by David Morley · 15 September 2020

    Hot engine oil is a normal part of a car’s operation. If there’s a little smoke from the oil when you open the oil-cap on top of the engine, that’s actually reasonably normal, provided it’s only a few fumes and not huge clouds of smoke.

    The car telling you to stop could be due to any number of faults or conditions within the car, so the wise thing to do is have it scanned at a Peugeot specialist who will be able to interpret the coded messages the car spits out. The turbocharger could be the component at fault here, but without an electronic scan, you’d only be guessing at the real cause.

    Used Peugeot 508 review: 2011-2015
    By Ewan Kennedy · 19 April 2017
    The Peugeot 508 arrived in Australia in July 2011 and replaced two cars, the Peugeot 407 and 607. Clever engineering means the 508 has less mass than the significantly smaller Peugeot 407 and is well under the weight of the 607. Not all 508 models arrived simultaneously, rather they dribbled in over the next 12 months

    508 rear brake pad wear
    Answered by Graham Smith · 18 December 2015

    On the estimate of the dealer you’ll have done around 45,000 km by the time the brakes need replacing, which is reasonable. The rear brakes, pads and rotors, are generally smaller than the fronts, which do most of the braking. Being smaller they will wear out sooner.

    Most European cars are now heavy on brake pads as they are relatively “soft” without asbestos, but there are aftermarket replacement options that promise much better wear rates and very little dust on your wheels.
