I am interested in the newly launched Peugeot 508 Turbo. But what worries me is the after sales service by Nasim and build quality. So im asking all current Peugeot owners to give their views here. Ive been a Toyota user for the past 8 years and have had no issues with the car or the after sales service. So moving over to Peugeot will be a huge change for me.

Depends la.. Mostly the probs that was on the 308 (same engine as 508) can be reduced if you dont always rev your car and keep the speed less than 150km/h

About the battery, not sure.. My dad's 308 CC battery kong'ed out just after 7 month but it was replaced under warranty

no reply means ada lor

Rcz seems to be okay..

You dont push it too hard , right?

I never push any car to go over 130 lol...

Whats the problem with going fast and high revs?

Battery is not an issue since its an external component and doesnt cost much anyway.

go to the other forum and check out the problem they faced. honestly im driving a 308, i do encounter problems.

Naza did try to settle it for you (warranty still on) however maintaining a european car is much exp than japs.
Not the service maintainance, i mean the parts

There are some problems with certain owner's car so i cant says all cars..those common problem is a known problem and Naza will fix it.

I drive a toyota too and it does also have problem and i can says their service is good becos competition among SC. And now that PUG/VW is upcoming brands so they will also be competitive

No matter you drive what cars..when it does give problem it means u need time off to send cars in SC

What forums? Can you post some links?

What problems did you face? Please provide details. How old is your car?

autoworld and also there is Peugeot club as well.

Mine problem so far minor because its VTi and so far Naza entertaining me.
Solenoid problem, Battery, and some rattling parts.

However my warranty end soon as it is 2Y7M oledy so i need make sure im trouble free before it ends.

Peugeot @Autoworld

Peugeot Sport Malaysia

I've been driving 308T for about 20 months now. Problems that I'd experienced so far:

1. Battery dead.
Roughly about 11 months after I got the car and 19K of mileage. Since the SC is quite far from where I live, I purchased another battery for about RM240. Then I went to the SC to claim the warranty for the battery. Didn't have any problem in claiming (the claimed battery is juicing my good-ol'-Wira right now )

*2. Warped front disc brakes.
During claiming the battery at the SC, I told them the steering vibrates when I applied the brake at > 120KM/h. I asked them to check the disc brake. Upon checking, they found the discs have scratched/warped. They replaced it on the spot. And since it's still under warranty, I didn't have to pay for anything.

3. Leaking cooling coil.
Happened 2~3 months ago during the Ramadhan. Went to SC and was asked to leave the car for a few days to have the part replaced. It took them about 6 days (including *Friday and Nuzul Quran public holiday) to get it done. They have to wait for a couple of days for the part to arrive from KL since there's none at the SC. Still didn't pay anything since it's still under warranty.

So, yes, I'm quite satisfy with the after sales services given to me so far.

I have done all the services at KS Kemaman, Terengganu. So I can't comment on other SCs.

* The culprit was the brake pads. Somehow the stock brake pads, while provide good braking, literally ate the discs. Most of 308T owners changed the brake pads to protect the discs. For my case, I've replaced them with EBC Greenstuff after replacing the discs. It cost me around RM400 (not from SC).

** Friday is non-working day in Terengganu.

Peeing engine.. U can see oil stains on the engine, but there is a permanent fix for this at SC...
2nd, Depollution System faulty.. But then, this can be solved by driving slowly and gently for the next 70KM

My 3008 recently shows engine fault error on trip computer. Sent it to sc, they didnt find anything wrong with it. Today my reverse sensor got problem too, cant detact.
But i never regret buying this car. Really enjoy driving it.

Being replaced under warranty is alright but what concerns me is the high number of problems despite the car being new. What happens when problems develop later on after the warranty is over? Its on us.

Having the wrong pads installed is somehow a no brainer. How could any car manufacturer install brake pads which eat into the brake disks??

In my Toyota, ive never had any issues with juddering or brake disks being worn despite my car being 8.5 yrs old.

Im starting to get worried already.

Hows the engine? Is it smooth? hows the fuel consumption?

Driven the 3008 and 308 before, the engine is really smooth and punchy..Don't expect good FC however, city driving is mostly around 11-12litre/100km

I still remember when I drove my car to a workshop to replace the pads. The mechanic was kind of shock because the mileage is low and I want to replace the pads already. But when he saw the pads, he instantly realized why I want to do that.

Btw. IMHO, it's not the wrong pads because majority of us didn't have such problem (to my knowledge, at least). Maybe I and a few others didn't get so lucky. And it has been a while since last I heard the problem.

My advice for you is to read the Peugeot forum @Autoworld. I believe you could make up your whether to own a Pug or not after that

On the Prince engine, yes, it's smooth and very eager to go. Now that it comes with 6AT, I bet it's smoother (my 308T comes with the dinosaur-age AL4).

The FC is quite bad when compare to other 1.6 litre engine. It's around 11+L/100KM. 12, if I managed to get myself stuck in traffic jams often. On highway, I could get as low as 7~8L/100KM (speed is around 110KM/h ~ 130KM/h).

why duncha consider VW?
it comes with 5 years warranty and roadside assistance.

why VW ? already test drive a jetta. for rm150k++, it interior almost like saga, seat not so comfortable. all plastic interior. Peugot 508 more classy look, with a lot of tech inside.individual air cond setting for rear pass, keyless security, HUD, led and xenon headlamp, 10 JBL speker with 500w amp, bigger bonet

Engine is smooth. What I like about it is acceleration is not a problem. Even at low rev, the turbo perform quite well.
Fuel wise, I lived in Bangi and work around klcc, commuting back and forth give me 9.3l/100km. Highway always around 120-130.

agree with u that peugeot has better equipment and lower priced.
but somehow, french cars are not as reliable compared to german ones.

furthermore, nasim glenmarie service center takes a long time for warranty claims as mentioned by my friend who owns the 3008.
somehow, if the manufacturer has its own office here is better.

Yes VW has a better engine and gearbox plus build quality and after sales service should be better. But i just cant stand the design (exterior and interior). It looks like an outdated car. IN fact the only car in the VW range which i think is good is the Sirocco and Passat CC. The rest just look ordinary albeit with better gearboxes and engines for sure.

But the spec list for the Peugeot 508 is really impressive:

Spec list includes:

1) 6 speed Tiptronic auto adaptive gearbox with Sports & Manual mode
2) 1.6L Twin Scroll High Pressure Turbo (THP) Prince engine with 156Hp, 240Nm
3) Latest generation Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
4) Anti Lock Braking System (ABS)
5) Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
6) Intelligent Traction Control System (ITCS)
7) Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
8) Anti Skid Regulation (ASR)
9) 6 airbags
10) Intelligent Airbag System (separate impact deployment and secondary impact protection)
11) Automatic Electric Parking Brake
12) 4 individual zone auto air-conditioning (separate temp controls for both rear passengers)
13) Colour Heads – Up Display (HUD)
14) Auto Adaptive High Beam System (camera activated)
15) Directional bi – Xenon headlamps with washers & auto levelling system
16) Rain sensing auto wipers
17) Paddle Shifters on Steering Column
18) 10 speaker JBL sound system with 500W surround sound amplifier
19) Arkamsys Audio Processing System (creates natural central acoustic ambience plus has Favour Listening)
20) Intelligent keyless entry with finger sensor and push start button
21) 8 way electric power seats with lumbar support for driver & front passenger
22) 7” HD multi function colour screen
23) 10 front & rear parking sensors with visual display
24) Available Space Management system (ASM) (for parallel parking)
25) Speed sensing electro hydraulic power steering
26) Premium leather

what's the point of all that if the mechanic and service advisor gets to use them for more than half a year.

once warranty over, which is really fast actually, small things here and there is going to cost a lot over the year

I know that hence the reason why i started this thread.

buy back toyota only la...... settle problem since u practically worship toyota....

from vios to camry still an upgrade what...

end of story...

actually this is true

i think the problems for both toyota and peugeot are equal, but since toyota have a bigger network of aftersales compared to peugeot and less electronics all over the it will be easier and cheaper to fix

i feel better you just stick to toyota coz once you buy the peugeot and you get problems eventhough not big ones you will always have the regret feeling in your heart that you made the wrong choice

Camry looks too old fashioned

current altis then or wait next gen camry which is coming soon....

dont bother about any other brand...

if you're so worried about so many things, honestly, just buy the toyota... regardless of how it looks and regardless of how highly specified the 508 is.

and by the way, the warranty process is long because the manufacturer dictates what can be changed and what cannot, and nasim is unable to change a single thing until france gives approval... which takes days. so, put the blame where it should be, correctly. but for those who can live with whatever the brand throws at them, every driving moment is special.

your dough, your choice.

I was refering to the 2012 Camry.

Haven't you been asking about different cars like for months already?

Anyway do a search. I've responded to these questions many times as well as a former Pug owner dealing with Peugeot service.

maybe you wanna check accord 2.4 or camry 2.4 or mazda 6 for similar price range.

so when you face any problem with this kind of car, you wont swear/curse. usually ppl bought french/malaysia/korean/US car, will regret the moment when something gone wrong, but if its a jap car, and it fails, then, nasib la,syukur la.




This post has been edited by turbocharged: Nov 11 2011, 12:21 AM

exactly lah so waht's so special about 'driving experience'?

u go test drive la. its free.

is quite true. french are very arrogant ppl. they make excellent products, yes but don't give a rat's arse to customer's requirements. they think they know best.

peugeot doesn't sell many cars here, so malaysian market not so attractive for them.
they prefer spend their time and focus someplace else.
hence the slow warranty claim response and shoddy service,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_engine#Common_Problems

According to my friend, his friend (yes friend of friend) 308GT have that engine peeing issue. Trying hard to get rid of it but resale value had him stucked on it until now. According to him 308 is still ok, 308GT and 308T will have higher chance having this problem.

I think you are better off with VW which has 5yrs unlimited warranty.

Yes, ill do proper research before investing my money into anything. Always done that and so far have always made the right decisions regarding everything e.g cars, property, insurance, investments, career, etc.

If i were to spend RM190K on a Passat 1.8TSI, i would rather top up and go for a 6 month old BMW 320i which is selling for only RM207K by BMW Premium Service. Better specs, better looks and better resale value for sure.

and actually BMW also has their own problem. try go to bmw forum, just do your homework, and buy the car you really wanted!

see here,vw forum

well, its not like there are any cars without problem.

again, just do your homework and buy the one you really wanted.

well, even saga/myvi has their own common problem.

enjoy shopping!

BMW couldn't even 'solve' the PSA-BMW Prince engine problems and you would still go for a 6 month old BMW? If that were the case any Peugeot issues would not have been a problem for you. It got its World Engine award too for few consecutive years.

hence thats why i say....
2012 camry outdated or not, its still a toyota....


bullet-proof everything

european car is never in a pursuit of bullet proof reliability, they are more on both R & D..

while japanese car emphasis more on continuous improvement, so expect similar drivetrain for new camry, and features.

If wan absolute peace of mind, japanese car it is.

if wan some fun to drive, and technology gadget, european car it is.

Shocking!

http://peugeotsportmalaysia.freeforums.org...-crisp-t64.html

Well, if she said otherwise, there won't be insurance coverage & warranty claims, will it?

Anyway better to look for common problems (those that keep occurring) than those once in a while (like self-burning).

It surely isnt as bad as the brand new Ferrari 458 Italia's which was catching fire in many locations around the world.

hence i keep telling TS to go back to toyota since toyota is bullet proof...
dont be adventurous


being boring is better then being sorry

hello guys

my 207 is indicating service is up soon although the car only done 7,000+km. service is supposed to be at 10,000km. is the car's service indicator something wrong? (the spannar logo)

if what u described happened, it could only mean heavy usage, lot's of stop-start driving, heavy revving or even lots of inactivity etc. when the oil flow sensor senses that the quality of oil has been reduced, it will recommend an earlier oil change to you. so, nothing wrong there.

i think TS wants to hear this exact sentence

'the peugeot 508 will be a problematic car that will see it spend countless hours in the service centre to get 3 out of 5 reported problems fixed. Nasim after sales service is poor and slow. The peugeot 508 will be very expensive to fix after the warranty period and will be difficult to get rid of unless at a massive loss to the owner. Nasim on the other hand will continue to provide sub standard service'

Well only if its true. My dad has 2 previous Peugeots and he enjoyed using them. The only problems were spare parts since at that time it was under MBF Peugeot. I would expect Peugeots now to be better built especially for the 508 flagship car.

did your 207 experience the same?

Both my previous 206 and current 207. Nothing to worry about.

thanks lowpro

No lah its just the reminder that were set to pop up at 7000km

how can this be? the spannar not only pop up but the distance to go b4 service also is not 3000km...its about 300km now.

Something is obviously not right. Just because others face the same problem doesnt make it alright. If i were you, i would push Nasim for a solution. Never accept something wrong just because its a norm among other users. Thats the problem with Malaysians. We rarely fight for our customer rights.

ok

will check with the SC tmr

i dunno if this is the right thread to ask, i have a Naza 206, n the aircon is giving out hot air
this problem has been going on for a long time, 1st time say its leaking, SC sealed it up n pumped gas
but after few months the problem came back, fixed again
but this time problem return within a month, fixed again
this time problem occur again within days
this time the mechanic said the cooling coil cracked, need replace

assume its true, my dad dowan send back to the same SC to repair cos he reli dont trust the workmanship n attitude of the workers there d
so is there any reputable authorised SC? preferably near Setapak

not sure if you can help tell more of your case but the 206 DOES blow warm air DEPENDING on the interior temperature and the temperature you set. I have explained this a few times already to various people and this is a characteristic of peugeot cars as they have a heater. so, do share more and i'll try to see if i can have an answer to the situation you are facing.

also, make sure to press the recirculate button to ensure that outside air does not get into your cabin.

the thing is, the warm air persist
1st sign of problem is the driver side vent & driver side of centre vent gives out warm air, only the other 2 vents give out cold air
then after few days, all vents give out warm air
i dare say it's a problem, cause the AC button is on, the setting is set to face-blowing full, the recirculate button closed
this time it's been 2 months since the problem started again, never, not a moment, the aircon got cold air

sounds funny. i can think of only 2 scenarios now... maybe others can think of others but here goes:

1) the diverter for fresh air (which is normally warm) is jammed. this means the recirculating air switch could be on the blink.

OR

2) the panel itself (the one where you press for temperature, air flow diverting, etc.) needs to be looked at. maybe the dial for temperature has also gone on holiday and is stuck somehow in heater mode.

hope it helps.

heya lowpro,

i went to the SC to check on this issue, however I realised that i can only get it check next week as they are fully occupied. My fault as i didnt make an appointment, but i was thinking they might attend to walk-in customers to service customers cars. But my issue was only detected ending of last week, too short a notice to book for an appointment on the weekend as i am working on the weekdays. Maybe once the new SC opens at Glenmerie they could accomodate walk in customers

afaik, they hv close to 20 appointments per day and walk-in is on first-come-first-served basis. not sure but i think they take in about 5 per day? so, hv to be early if u wanna do walk in. anyway, do call this number 03-55663600. it is the glenmarie number to make appointments. cheers!

Here are some interesting facts about the 308 Engine:-

http://distributionthp.free.fr/index.php?l...on_view_eng.php

http://www.etuners.gr/en/index.php?s=12&t=167

Affected model includes Peugeot 308 in it.
This usually comes when you receive "Depollution System Faulty" and usually above 30k mileage.

http://www.justanswer.com/peugeot/5crow-pe...ty-warning.html

Those current 308 owners out there, better get the SC to check this out before it spoils your piston head/Cam.

Hi sifus.

My 207 has this weird *thangk thangk* noise when i turn the steering. Worse still, I can feel like some dawai moving underneath the footrest. It's as if the turning of the steering is clashing with some dawai or metal wire and this dawai thing can be felt underneath my foot!

Help urgently advise

I think is the foot carpet that cause this thing. Try pull the foot carpet a bit to the back. Hope this help

why is Peugeot service very poor?

they don't treat customers well and not that professional.

everytime when go to the service centre, there will be customers shouting.

even if stuff that supposed to be under warranty they will try say "this one normal la, can't fix etc"

i think whoever who is managing the Peugeot aftersales service has a bad attitude.....

If you go to the world 2nd largest car market ie the USA, you won't see Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Alfa Romeo or Lancia on the road. There's only 1 model of Fiat that was recently sold there. Most coveted cars there are Japanese Lexus, Acura n Infiniti and Germans Mercedes n BMW. Volkswagen are also selling 8n droves there. Americans, Swedish and Koreans Kia n Hyundai cars are ordinary cars there. Since driving conditions in USA are tough, you would know that cars that can't made it there should no be bought anywhere else in the world.

The problem EP6 with crankcase ventilation.

Repair kit valve cover for Peugeot 308, 3008, 207 (A7) engine EP6
Membrane valve cover for Peugeot 308, 207 (A7) engine EP6
OEM 0248.Q5
new diaphragm valve for crankcase ventilation.
producer sells only cover entirely.
we produce membrane separately!

replacement is very easy, you need to remove the valve cover by prying it with a screwdriver.
remove the old and install the new membrane.
close the cover.

vanos-bmw.com/peugeot-ep6-membrane-valve-cover

I wanna ask. I'm currently near the end of my extended warranty. Bought my 207 in 2012and it came with the 3 + 2 extended warranty. Now it seems there's some issue with my mounting but they tell me it's not covered by my warranty. Anyone can tell me if that's the case?

mounting are wear and tear parts hence not covered under warranty

Anyone had issue with their 208? It shows ESP/ASR system fault. SC quoted me RM1.5k to repair it and said it's not covered under warranty. It's not even a wear & tear part. Why is it not covered?

2017 going to 2018, its Peugeot SC still that bad?..

Thinking getting the new 3008 and the nearest SC for me its at Jalan 222 there.

Interested to know as well. Seriously considering a Traveller, but upon listening to the horror story, I'm not keen. One thing for sure, the 2 Peugeot showrooms I've been the SA are either lazy, not knowledgeable or don't give a rats ass about selling. I can't imaging what happen when the service technician works on the vehicle.

The new 3008 is good. Got for it, previous engine issues solved.

In 2012 PSA introduced EP6CDTM on 408thp in Malaysia. This engine carries 8 mods addressing reliability issues on the older Prince. As a result of its sucess, PSA provided this engine option on Citroen/Peugeot Sedan/hatchback/SUV/MPV . The new 3008 has a further refined Prince - EP6FDTM.

Dont listen to Uncle/aunty say, they dont own one, all hear say! I own one and am on the 6th year on EP6CDTM, no issues, running very well!
