HOW TO Service a Peugeot Boxer Campervan.
After a long winter in Scotland, its time for some TLC to the van and now the weather is getting warmer and the days are longer, its time to service the van and get her ready to hit the road again!
Performing a service on a Peugeot Boxer campervan requires a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle and its specific maintenance needs. While I can't provide a video, I can offer you a general outline of the steps involved in servicing a campervan. It's important to note that for specific details and instructions, it's best to consult the manufacturer's manual or seek professional assistance. Here's a general guide:
1: Gather the necessary tools and supplies: Before starting the service, ensure you have all the required tools, such as wrenches, sockets, oil filter wrench, and a new oil filter. Additionally, gather the appropriate fluids, including engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid.
2: Perform an overall inspection: Begin by inspecting the exterior and interior of the campervan. Check for any signs of damage, leaks, or worn-out components. Pay attention to the tires, lights, wipers, and other essential safety features.
3: Change the engine oil and filter: Locate the oil drain plug and drain the old oil into a suitable container. Replace the oil filter with a new one and tighten it securely. Refill the engine with the recommended type and amount of oil, ensuring it meets the manufacturer's specifications.
4: Check and top up fluid levels: Verify the levels of essential fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Add or replace fluids as necessary, following the manufacturer's guidelines.
5: Inspect and replace air filters: Check the air filter(s) and replace them if dirty or clogged. A clean air filter ensures optimal engine performance and efficiency.
6: Check and replace other filters: Inspect and replace other filters, such as the fuel filter and cabin air filter, if necessary. Clean filters promote better airflow and maintain the vehicle's overall functionality.
7: Inspect the braking system: Check the condition of brake pads, discs, and brake lines. Ensure the brake fluid level is within the recommended range and consider bleeding the brakes if needed.
8: Test the battery: Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary. Test the battery's charge level and ensure it's holding a sufficient charge. Replace the battery if it's old or showing signs of deterioration.
9: Inspect and rotate tires: Check the tire pressure, tread wear, and general condition of the tires. Rotate the tires if needed to promote even wear and extend their lifespan.
10: Verify lights and electrical components: Test all lights, including headlights, taillights, turn signals, and interior lights. Check the functionality of other electrical components, such as power windows, mirrors, and the stereo system.
11: Perform a road test: After completing the service, take the campervan for a short test drive to ensure everything is functioning properly. Pay attention to any unusual noises, vibrations, or handling issues.
Remember, this is a general guide, and the specific service requirements for your Peugeot Boxer campervan may vary. Always consult the manufacturer's manual or seek professional assistance for accurate and vehicle-specific instructions.

Rob as a fellow Veteran (Engineer at that!) I need to get back to servicing my own vehicles like the old, old days. I have to say though got a front disk brake service and brake pad replacement on recent Turkiye trip. Could not pass up the 40 Quid price for the job. Still had 7000m wear on them but a bargain price had to be done.

Fuel filter! Yes it’s a bitch. I think I’ve got four left over, unfitted, still in the shed. Maybe it’s time to use one. Ps the brakes are dead easy to do as well. But as a very quick simple extra thing; remove and lube the handbrake pivot point halfway under the van. 13mm nut.

Just as I did it years ago, when I had everything I needed to work on vehicles. There doesn't seem to be much ground clearance for you to get underneath and drain the oil. Hope you managed it without too much struggle and I know that if I tried it, I would have got stuck. 😮
