When the Peugeot 2008 Dashboard Indicates "Repair Needed"

Model: Peugeot 2008 MK 1 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Instrument cluster

To understand this mysterious message, our friendly YouTuber did the most logical thing: he connected an OBDII reader to the EOBD socket and read the errors stored in the ECU. Then, using a laptop, he obtained free software to decode the various messages from the ECU. The problem is with the exhaust gas recirculation and a faulty Lambda sensor. These are quite mysterious issues. Consequently, he explains in detail how internal combustion engines and catalytic converters work to reduce NOX emissions. Therefore, we need to replace the oxygen sensor. Lift the front of the vehicle to perform the operation. Identify the blue connector to remove, then detach the cable up to the metal connector. Before installing the new one, apply some copper grease. Refit it in place, reconnect the cable to its bracket. You're done. The YouTuber also advises checking the fuel carefully, especially if travelling abroad with your vehicle.
