EGC / ETG
First-generation automated versions use clutch and actuator control rather than a conventional torque converter. Low-speed shudder and delayed take-up are key symptoms.

The Peugeot 5008 has moved from first-generation MPV-style automatic and automated transmissions into second-generation EAT6/EAT8 SUVs and the newest Hybrid e-DSC6 and Plug-in Hybrid e-DSC7 range. Family load and vehicle weight can make an emerging transmission problem more obvious.
If your 5008 hesitates into gear, thumps on a shift, slips when loaded or shows a gearbox warning, we establish which automatic system is fitted before testing hydraulic pressure, clutch control or hybrid integration.
Used UK 5008 automatics commonly include first-generation automated/conventional systems and second-generation EAT6/EAT8. The current seven-seat 5008 adds Hybrid 145 e-DSC6 and Plug-in Hybrid 225 e-DSC7 automatics.
| 5008 generation / type | Typical UK versions | Automatic gearbox | What owners often search for |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-generation 5008 | Selected HDi / petrol auto versions | EGC/ETG or conventional automatic depending on version | 5008 semi automatic judder, actuator fault |
| Second-generation 5008 | PureTech / BlueHDi automatics | EAT6 then EAT8 on relevant versions | 5008 EAT8 problems, delayed Drive, harsh shift |
| Later second-generation automatic | PureTech 130 / BlueHDi 130 | EAT8 eight-speed automatic | 5008 gearbox slipping, EAT8 fault warning |
| Current 5008 hybrid / PHEV | Hybrid 145 / Plug-in Hybrid 225 | e-DSC6 / e-DSC7 automatic | new 5008 hybrid gearbox problem, e-DSC fault |
First-generation automated versions use clutch and actuator control rather than a conventional torque converter. Low-speed shudder and delayed take-up are key symptoms.
EAT automatics account for a large share of second-generation 5008 enquiries. Pressure control and valve-body operation matter when shifting quality changes.
Hybrid 145 versions use an electrified six-speed dual-clutch automatic, integrating electric assistance with the gearbox.
Plug-in Hybrid 225 versions use a seven-speed electrified dual-clutch automatic and need transmission and hybrid controllers assessed together.
UK searches such as “Peugeot 5008 EAT8 problems”, “5008 automatic gearbox fault” and “5008 slipping when accelerating” often come from family vehicles carrying more weight. Load and temperature can be valuable diagnostic clues.
A pause into Drive or Reverse can point towards EAT hydraulic response, valve-body operation or internal wear.
Abrupt changes may involve pressure-control solenoids, adaptation values or internal clutch application.
Extra passenger and luggage weight can expose a transmission that is already losing torque transfer.
A 5008 that is fine cold but worse after a longer journey may have a temperature-related pressure or internal issue.
A stored transmission fault should be diagnosed before continued family or towing use increases the damage.
On e-DSC6/e-DSC7 models, hesitation may involve electrified clutch and hybrid-system control.
Tell us whether the 5008 is empty or fully loaded, whether the fault appears hot or cold and whether hills or motorway use make it worse. Vehicle load can materially change the symptom.
| What you notice | How drivers describe it | Possible areas to investigate |
|---|---|---|
| Delay into Drive | “It pauses before the 5008 moves.” | Hydraulic pressure, valve body, clutch application |
| Hard shift | “It bangs into gear.” | Pressure control, solenoids, adaptation, internal wear |
| Slip under load | “It is worse with the family or luggage in it.” | Internal clutch slip, pressure loss, torque transfer |
| Fault when hot | “It changes badly after a long drive.” | Temperature-related pressure or internal condition |
| Hybrid warning | “The new hybrid shows a gearbox/drivetrain message.” | e-DSC clutch control, motor integration, hybrid controller |
5008 fault codes need to be interpreted with the exact gearbox and operating load in mind. EAT8 hydraulic faults and current e-DSC hybrid warnings use different data and service procedures.
| Fault / code family | Broad area | What may need checking |
|---|---|---|
| P0700 / transmission warning | General automatic control | Underlying Peugeot DTCs and live gearbox state |
| Pressure / solenoid faults | EAT6 / EAT8 | Valve body, hydraulic pressure and solenoid performance |
| Ratio / slip faults | Internal automatic transmission | Actual ratio, clutch slip and internal condition |
| Temperature / protection faults | Load / heat-related transmission control | Operating temperature, pressure and internal friction |
| Hybrid transmission faults | e-DSC6 / e-DSC7 | Electrified clutch, motor interaction and hybrid controller |
For a 5008, fault-code interpretation should include vehicle load, gearbox generation and live pressure or clutch data before major repair is recommended.
5008 repair costs depend on the transmission generation and how the vehicle is used. A targeted EAT8 hydraulic repair is very different from a major internal rebuild or new-generation hybrid transmission fault.
| Peugeot 5008 gearbox work | Typical guide range | What can change the price? |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic scan, road test and initial assessment | From £30 | Gearbox generation, load and depth of testing |
| EAT6 / EAT8 hydraulic or valve-body repair | Approx. £900 - £1,950+ | Pressure fault, solenoids and transmission condition |
| Targeted clutch / actuator-related repair | Approx. £800 - £1,700+ | Relevant earlier automated system and clutch wear |
| Full automatic gearbox repair / reconditioning | Approx. £2.2k - £4.6k+ | Transmission type and internal damage |
| e-DSC6 / e-DSC7 hybrid transmission fault | Diagnosis required | Hybrid-system involvement and failed component |
Identify the 5008 generation, engine and automatic transmission before comparing any repair options.
Read hydraulic pressure, slip, ratio, clutch and hybrid values using the correct Peugeot diagnostic system.
Road-test the vehicle under the load or temperature condition that makes the symptom appear.
Quote the targeted control, valve-body, clutch or internal repair supported by the findings.
Tell us whether your 5008 delays into gear, bangs on shifts, slips under load, becomes worse when hot or shows a hybrid/gearbox warning.
Peugeot 5008 gearbox diagnosis and repair is available across the South East for older automated systems, EAT6/EAT8 and new e-DSC hybrid transmissions.
The 5008's family and load use is considered alongside regional driving conditions so the fault is tested in a way that reflects how the vehicle is actually used.

For broader Peugeot automatic transmission information, see our Peugeot gearbox repair page for the South East.
Delayed engagement, harsh shifts, slipping and transmission warnings can involve pressure control, valve-body solenoids or internal wear.
Additional weight increases transmission demand and can make existing clutch slip, pressure loss or internal wear more obvious.
The transmission controller has stored a fault. Peugeot-specific code and live-data diagnosis is needed before a repair is selected.
Hybrid 145 versions use e-DSC6, while Plug-in Hybrid versions use an electrified seven-speed e-DSC7 automatic.
Yes. Targeted hydraulic, valve-body, actuator and internal repairs may be possible depending on the exact transmission and fault.
The guide table separates targeted EAT/actuator work from full reconditioning. Current e-DSC hybrid faults need diagnosis before a meaningful price can be given.
For a 5008 automatic complaint, identify the transmission generation and reproduce the fault under the load and temperature conditions that reveal it.
