2017 Peugeot 3008 issues
Discussion
Had a Peugeot 3008 for the past 4 years, bought when it was 2 years old. It now has 55,000 miles on it and is Mar 2017.
Timing belt went on it last year which seems pretty common and was fixed by Peugeot even though the car was outside warranty. Funny this year I got a recall notice for that very issue. Even though I had already got it fixed my local Peugeot dealer said to bring it in anyway and they would check it to make sure it was still good.
Anyways I was having some issues with the car. When starting the car I would often get this warning on the dash:
"Electrical circuit system repair needed".
I had also noticed that the Start/Stop would often not work. I had told the dealer this and they said they would run a full diagnostic on the car while looking at the timing belt. They reckoned it might just need a new Start/Stop battery.
Anyways, after seeing all the faults on the car through the computer reader, they said they needed to open a ticket with Peugeot to understand the exact issue. I had to chase them over a course of a few weeks as it seems the 'priority' ticket they opened with Peugeot was not so priority.
In the end they said Peugeot got back to them and my car needed a new:
Peugeot Battery Management Protection Unit aka a BGPA battery charge module.
The cost of this would be a total of £800 to buy and fit.
Has anyone any experience of this? Whats the downsides of not fitting it? Can this be down cheaper outside a Peugeot dealer? Does the part itself need to come from Peugeot?
After the timing belt issue and now this, I am tempted to trade in the car for something new (its been 4 years anyway). The air con has also started making a whining type noise, such that I have it turned off all the time. The oil light comes on frequently and there are no leaks or anything I can tell. But I have to top up the oil every 3 months or so - so it could be burning oil?
Any thoughts on any of the above?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply - have you seen any on ebay that would suit my model? I think the part number is: 9675350280
I was looking at this one on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002268735416.h...
Bit more of a risk obv but i have read those who had good success doing this.
I rang the different dealers and they are charging £360 for the part but they have weeks worth of back orders.
It does look fairly easy to swap, I have a mechanic friend who can help.

It's been a while since I changed one of these & it appears prices have sky rocketed. The one you have linked to on Ali Express has the wrong OEM no. You need this one, https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005001907086490.html...
Here is a couple of photos from my Peugeot BPGA:
The number on it is actually: 9675350380 (and not 280), so I wonder would the first link I sent work?
I have also contacted Peugeot to see if some sort of Goodwill gesture could be applicable here (you never know) since its a pretty expensive part and seems to be such a common issue.

Just seen your other issues. Stop start on these is erratic, yes you could change the battery but it won't be a permanent solution. I would just ignore it. As to the oil & belt, I take it the engine is a 1.2 Puretech, the wet belt disintegrates & blocks the oil ways, also the oil scraper rings stick & they burn oil, personally I would fix the error to put the service & engine fault lights out & trade it in ASAP as it's likely to need a new engine before long. Google Puretech engine issues for further into.

Thanks - I have had the car 4 years and am looking to trade in it for something else (I fancy an estate thinking of a Mazda 6 tourer). I want to get rid of the error message on the dash if possible before I trade it in - not sure if its worthwhile to try and fix it when trading in or just be honest with dealer and let them fix it?In my case, the local dealer would only commit to a paid-for investigation of the fault, but they did say Peugeot 'might' pick up the bill if it was a recognised design fault.
Unsurprisingly, i'm talking about a 1.2 puretech timing belt issue here.
Given my car was out of warranty and had been serviced by the supplying independent outside of the manufacturer's schedule, I decided that I was unlikely to get a good outcome, so I offloaded the car (three weeks later I got a recall notice for the same issue!)
If there's a body of evidence for the HDi engine suffering from the problem you've outlined in another thread, then you might get some luck with them, but given that dealers have to diagnose the issue and then seek permission from the manufacturer to conduct any warranty/goodwill work, you might have to take a calculated risk on absorbing the costs of the diagnosis work,
