Hi, I have a Peugeot 208 xy model 2013 plate.
Over the last 5 months numerous spark plugs and coil packs have gone and it's happening more frequently, within a few days of being replaced. Garage isn't aware of an underlying issue they said these cars are terrible for it and have advised I go to peugeot which I can do. But all plugs replaced yesterday and gone today, must be something wrong somewhere so wondered if anyone else has any ideas please. Thanks

Heard of the problems with them , could check all earths at battery and any from engine / gearbox to body . Lot of cheap coil packs about that give these kind of faults compared to the OEM parts
