Common problems and easy repairs on a 2008 307
The 2008 Peugeot 307 XT HDi is a moderately easy car to maintain but it does have its share of lengthy procedures. On the passenger side you’ll need to remove a panel to access the headlights, all of which have a rather tight fit. The cabin air filter will also require many panels to be removed, and will have tricky access in the cowl of the vehicle. The battery has a convoluted set-up, as the engine air filter will need to be removed in order to reliably reach the bracket.
However, the 2008 Peugeot 307 XT HDi has many upsides. All of its tail lights are located in a single bulb assembly that’s easy to access behind the trunk lining. The spare tire and jack kit come packaged together, which allows for quick set-up in the event of a flat. The oil dipstick is quick to find as well, allowing you to read the oil levels without any problems.
