2 Answers
The diagnostic socket of Peugeot 2008 is located under the cover below the steering wheel. You can access it by removing the cover. The diagnostic socket is an OBD interface, which belongs to the vehicle's diagnostic system. The dimensions of Peugeot 2008 are: length 4312mm, width 1785mm, height 1545mm, with a wheelbase of 2612mm. It features a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body structure. The Peugeot 2008 is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 100kW and a maximum torque of 230Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent suspension.
During my years driving the Peugeot 2008, the diagnostic port has always been located slightly to the left below the steering wheel. You can easily spot it by bending down and looking at the lower part of the dashboard. It's a standard 16-pin OBD-II interface designed for connecting fault scanners to read vehicle data. The position is thoughtfully chosen to avoid accidental contact with feet. While it's rarely used in daily driving, it becomes essential when dashboard warning lights appear, helping identify root causes like engine or emission faults. You can operate it yourself with a basic scan tool connected to a smartphone app to view real-time data, saving trips to repair shops. Remember to gently plug/unplug the connector without tugging wires to avoid port damage. Familiarity with this location greatly aids routine maintenance.
