Monitoring radar fault and immobilizer fault - Peugeot 3008 2017 pure tech allure

I had no choice but to change the BPGA because the car was throwing up errors every time I started it.
Although it did eventually start I couldn't take the risk.

So I had Peugeot do a diagnostic and they sent me away to try the car and it was just as bad, although they quoted me for a BPGA (£540).
I contacted a local garage who charged me £350 for the replacement part and £87 for fitting it, cheaper than Peugeot quoted.

So far (two dayson ) I have a perfect working car. No errors and (with no tangible proof) it feels much sharper, the electrics just 'feel' better, the car managed a faultless 200-mile round trip with no errors

It cost me: £75 for utterly useless, money-grabbing auto-electrician, £164 for Peugeot to diagnose the problem as being the BPGA, and £437 to have the part fitted. Total: £674.

If it cured the problem, it's worth it, the car is fantastic. If not, that's it for me and French cars

Thanks for posting dhphoto. Yours is the first post I've read anywhere that actually reports the result of replacing the BPGA so, again, thanks. Fingers crossed that has cracked the problem permanently. I'm encouraged to bite the bullet and go down the same route.

Just to report back. 2 weeks on and the car is perfect. No issues at all, except now on a hands free call I can hear the caller but to them it sounds like I'm on Mars.
But that may well have nothing to do with the BPGA

dhphoto - many thanks for the update which is very encouraging. (I've not done any more on mine yet because I've broken my foot so not driving anywhere for a while!)

6 months on, car running like a dream, honestly like new, I think the BPGA must have been on the blink

My in-car phone problem fixed itself too.

A happy 3008 owner (currently)

Hi dhphoto, glad to hear that . My bpga was replaced in January and, like yours, the car has been running beautifully ever since - and I am, again like you, one happy 3008 owner.

Anyone having the monitoring radar fault coming up on the drivers display?
Get in touch with me as i provide a service to have this fixed.
Thank you

I've got this issue. Car won't start. My local Peuguot garage useless. Interested in any advice.

I am in the same boat re bpga faults.,with various messages appearing,however last week a parking brake msg appeared with associated bells an whistles,and car wouldn't allow me to start.
A new battery has been fitted,and prob is definitely bpga associated .
I've sourced a unit from Peugeot parts direct for £315 and will attempt to fit it myself (my independent is not to keen in case it bursts into flames )
Is it straightforward to refit the unit ?

My local independent only charged me an hour's labour to do it when they serviced and MOT'd mine. There are obviously a number of colour-coded cables that need to be correctly installed but other than that it appears to be a disconnect from battery and unbolting of unit to remove. No pairing with the car is necessary once new unit fitted. If you spend a bit of time on here and elsewhere you may find someone who has done it and posted pics etc?.

Thanks RichK for the advice
