If you want to clean the injectors and the injection system using an additive, rather than adding it to the fuel tank, you can bypass the diesel filter and feed the engine directly with the additive. To access the diesel filter, first remove the plastic cover on the engine: the diesel filter is located right next to the oil filter housing.

Disconnect the hoses connected to the filter: connect the two inlet hoses together while connecting two lengths of hose to the two outlet hoses, which will then be placed in a container filled with additive (apply a filter to the supply hose). Start the engine so that it can draw in the additive.

After this operation, it is recommended to also replace the filter.

Where to Find and How to Remove the Spare Wheel of a Peugeot 5008?

The spare wheel of a Peugeot 5008 is located under the rear of the vehicle. To remove it, you need to lift the third row of seats to access the fixing bolt that holds the spare wheel in position. Using the correct spanner, proceed to unscrew the fixing bolt until the wheel is no longer secured. At this point, you can extract the spare wheel from underneath the vehicle.
