Goodness, you have been patient. I'll do my best.

Im having issues with my Peugeot 308 mk2 2014 1.6 HDi92. When I try to play music from usb drive it says "Unreadable drive". It bugs me because it used to work, with same music and same usb stick. I tried FAT32/exFat and diffrent drive with same results. I used this stick to update maps and it worked afterwards, but then i used it to boot Windows and then i stopped working. Both drives I tried are 16gb, one Kingston other Verbatim and both work on my PC. Did anyone have same issues with their car and knows a solution.

I can only offer generalities. Firstly the pen drive should only be formatted in FAT32 and you should do full format, not a quick format. Don't plug the pen drive into a Mac machine as they are notorious for downloading invisible files and folders. If you've used a pen drive as Windows boot device then you might need to use a partitioning tool to reset it as an ordinary device. You could also try rebooting the radio (sorry, can't remember the process).

Also, my side indicator (on the mirror) stopped working and a guy at my local store told me that they are sold only as a whole unit and you cant change bulbs in it, is this true and how much can i expect to pay for it?

Firstly I would be testing the indicator with my multimeter to see whether it is being fed with power or not. The indicator may not be at fault. If it has gone wrong I don't know how much a new one is but I wold be looking at a second hand one first!

Are halogen dipped and main beams worth upgrading to better bulp like Philips WhiteVision?

A qualified yes for this. I put Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs into both our308 and Citroen C5. They are noticeably brighter but be aware that they will not last as long as standard bulbs. In fact one bulb in the C5 (dipped beam) failed just after 12 months!

And lastly about squiky noise on rear axle, do services fix it as manufacturing fault as it is or do they charge for it?

It is known problem and in the UK they are/were fixed without charge. Whether it's the same in Serbia I do not know. Also, the car is now five years old which might be a problem.

The mirror indicator is a sealed unit & it comes complete.

In the UK there £40.21 brand new from any Peugeot / Citroen main dealer parts department.

 

Regarding your USB stick, if you have used it to boot windows, then it means it was partitioned and now has a second, hidden boot partition, and a single format in fat32 (even a full, non quick format) will not do. You have to undo the partitioning, and make it a single partition drive again, and then format to fat32. This way it will work.

 

Looking forward to changing my light bulps then, I think it's worth it even if i have to change them once a year. :lol:

As for the indicator had to change the whole unit since there aren't really any second hand parts in Serbia or anywhere near, it was little less then 40e.


And finally regarding the USB stick, my main problem.

No that's not it, never used it for anything but updating maps and music. I tried 2 other sticks neither worked so i don't think it's flash related. But then again the car does play music from my friend's iPhone so it's not like the socket is not working.

Thanks everyone for your reply's!

 

Do you have a second USB port on your car? Have you tried that one if you have?

 

jut wondering what files he wants to play from the usb stick ... probably non mp3?

 

According to my handbook:

The audio equipment will only play audio files with ".wma, .aac, .flac, .ogg and .mp3" file extensions and with a bit rate of between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of file (.mp4, ...) can be played.
WMA files must be of the standard wma 9 type.
The sampling rates supported are 11, 22, 44 and 48 KHz.

 

According to Service Box, on my T9 the flasher is available as an item.

16 107 081 80 for the left side,

16 107 077 80 for the right.

They are LED units so no bulbs to replace.

 

I tried other usb port, same results, just "Unreadable drive" popup.

Also tried to update maps but same popup, so i don't think it's about music format (tried with just one song on stick in root folder, gave it a try with 3 different songs but all the same).

 

I still think its about having a MBR or partitioning for booting windows. I have had exactly the same problem with a pen-drive I have...I used disk manager in windows 10 to delete the partitions and create a new one...formatted fat32 and worked again...

 

I did delete the volume and created a new one fat32 but still not working.
