ETG
ETG-equipped 2008s automate a manual clutch and gearset. Shudder, pause and actuator calibration are common areas when town driving becomes unpleasant.

Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Repair Specialists in the South East
Peugeot 2008 automatic gearboxes have changed from early ETG automated-manual systems through EAT6/EAT8 torque-converter automatics to the latest Hybrid 145 e-DSC6. The transmission fitted therefore changes what low-speed hesitation or a gearbox warning actually means.
If your 2008 jerks while parking, pauses when you pull into traffic, slips under acceleration or displays an automatic gearbox message, we identify the exact gearbox before testing clutch actuation, hydraulic pressure or hybrid control.

Which 2008 Do You Have?
Peugeot 2008 Generations and Automatic Gearboxes
UK Peugeot 2008 automatic models include early ETG cars, later EAT6 and EAT8 petrol/diesel versions, and current Hybrid 145 models with e-DSC6. Electric e-2008 versions use a single-speed reduction drive.
| 2008 generation / type | Typical UK versions | Automatic gearbox | What owners often search for |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-generation 2008 | Selected petrol / diesel automated versions | ETG5 / ETG6 on relevant cars | 2008 ETG judder, clutch actuator problem |
| Later first-generation automatic | Relevant PureTech / BlueHDi versions | EAT6 on applicable cars | 2008 EAT6 fault, delayed Drive |
| Second-generation petrol automatic | PureTech 130 | EAT8 eight-speed automatic | Peugeot 2008 EAT8 problem, harsh shift, gearbox warning |
| Current 2008 Hybrid | Hybrid 145 | e-DSC6 six-speed electrified dual-clutch | 2008 hybrid gearbox fault, e-DSC6 warning |
Not sure which gearbox is fitted? Peugeot transmission specification can change by engine, year and trim. We can identify the unit from the registration/VIN before diagnosis or parts are quoted.

Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Types Explained
EAT6
Relevant later first-generation models use EAT6, bringing conventional hydraulic automatic behaviour and different repair requirements from ETG.
EAT8
PureTech 130 automatic 2008s use EAT8. Pressure control, valve-body response and internal condition matter when shifts become harsh.
e-DSC6
The latest 2008 Hybrid 145 uses an electrified six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, so hybrid-system interaction forms part of transmission diagnosis.
Common Problems
Common Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Issues
“Peugeot 2008 automatic gearbox fault”, “2008 jerking at low speed”, “EAT8 problem” and “2008 hybrid gearbox warning” are common search patterns. We use those symptom descriptions but anchor the repair to the exact transmission.
Jerky Low-Speed Driving
ETG clutch take-up or actuator calibration can make early 2008 automatics feel particularly rough while manoeuvring.
Delayed Drive
A pause before movement on EAT6/EAT8 versions can involve hydraulic pressure or internal clutch application.
Harsh Changes
Abrupt automatic shifts may involve valve-body pressure regulation, solenoids or adaptation values.
Gearbox Fault Message
Peugeot-specific transmission codes should be read before the vehicle is repeatedly driven or parts are fitted.
Slipping Under Load
A flare in engine speed without matching acceleration suggests poor torque transfer and can create extra heat.
Hybrid Hesitation
On e-DSC6 models, driveability changes can involve electrified clutch control and the hybrid system together.

Describe the Symptom
What Does a Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Fault Sound or Feel Like?
Tell us whether the 2008 fault happens while parking, pulling from a junction, accelerating uphill or after the car has warmed up. Low-speed symptom detail is especially useful on ETG and e-DSC6 versions.
| What you notice | How drivers describe it | Possible areas to investigate |
|---|---|---|
| Jerky crawl / reverse | “It hops when I park or reverse.” | ETG clutch wear, actuator calibration, take-up control |
| Delay into Drive | “It pauses before it starts moving.” | EAT6/EAT8 hydraulic pressure, valve body, internal clutch |
| Harsh shift | “It bangs into the next gear.” | Pressure-control solenoids, adaptation, valve body |
| RPM flare | “The revs rise but speed does not.” | Internal slip, pressure loss, torque transfer |
| Hybrid warning | “A gearbox or hybrid message appears.” | e-DSC6 clutch / motor integration and hybrid controller |
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Fault Codes
The 2008 can store very different faults depending on ETG, EAT6/EAT8 or e-DSC6. Transmission identity should be confirmed before codes are interpreted or reset.
| Fault / code family | Broad area | What may need checking |
|---|---|---|
| P0700 / gearbox warning | General transmission control | Underlying Peugeot-specific DTCs and live state |
| Actuator / clutch-position faults | ETG system | Clutch wear, actuator movement, calibration, wiring |
| Pressure / solenoid faults | EAT6 / EAT8 | Valve body, pressure control, internal leakage |
| Ratio / slip faults | Automatic transmission | Commanded vs actual ratio and internal clutch condition |
| Hybrid drivetrain faults | e-DSC6 | Electrified clutch operation, motor integration and controller |
For a 2008, transmission identification and live clutch or pressure values are more useful than treating one stored DTC as a complete diagnosis.
Repair Costs
How Much Does a Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Repair Cost?
2008 gearbox repair costs depend on whether the vehicle has ETG, EAT6/EAT8 or the newer e-DSC6 hybrid transmission. The correct gearbox needs to be identified before comparing prices.
| Peugeot 2008 gearbox work | Typical guide range | What can change the price? |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic scan, road test and initial assessment | From £30 | Transmission family and depth of testing |
| ETG clutch / actuator repair | Approx. £700 - £1,500+ | Clutch wear, actuator and calibration |
| EAT6 / EAT8 hydraulic or valve-body repair | Approx. £850 - £1,800+ | Pressure fault and internal condition |
| Full automatic gearbox repair / reconditioning | Approx. £2k - £4.3k+ | Gearbox family and internal damage |
| e-DSC6 hybrid transmission fault | Diagnosis required | Hybrid integration and failed component |
Important: These are guide ranges. The exact quotation depends on the transmission fitted, the confirmed fault and internal condition.

How We Diagnose a Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Fault
Identify the gearbox
Confirm the 2008 year, engine and ETG/EAT/E-DSC transmission from the vehicle data.
Scan the transmission
Read clutch, actuator, pressure, ratio and hybrid information with Peugeot-compatible diagnostics.
Test the fault area
Reproduce the problem during the manoeuvre, hill or temperature condition where the owner notices it.
Quote the correct repair
Quote the targeted clutch, valve-body, control or internal repair shown by the tests.

Common Search Questions
Peugeot 2008 Gearbox Problems: Straight Answers
Why is my Peugeot 2008 automatic jerky at low speed?
On ETG cars, clutch take-up, actuator travel and calibration are common causes. EAT8 and e-DSC6 versions use different systems and need different checks.
Why does my Peugeot 2008 hesitate before moving?
Possible causes include ETG clutch actuation, EAT hydraulic pressure or e-DSC6 hybrid clutch control, depending on the version.
Does the Peugeot 2008 use an EAT8 automatic gearbox?
Yes. Relevant PureTech 130 automatic versions use the eight-speed EAT8 transmission.
What gearbox does the current Peugeot 2008 Hybrid use?
The current Hybrid 145 uses an e-DSC6 six-speed electrified dual-clutch automatic.
Can a Peugeot 2008 gearbox be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. Targeted actuator, valve-body, hydraulic or internal repairs may be possible after the exact transmission fault is confirmed.
How much does a Peugeot 2008 automatic gearbox repair cost?
The cost depends on ETG, EAT6/EAT8 or e-DSC6 specification. A targeted repair can be significantly less than full reconditioning.
