May I know how do they resolve the rattling issue? I believe you've been to Seremban SC for the first inspection. During my first inspection, I've commented on the rattling issue and they just tightened the door trim. The rattling doesn't appear again after the inspection but only while I was speeding on the highway that I noticed it's still there.

Anyway, they didn't happen to ask you for the warranty cert during your first inspection?


My SA told me that it wouldn't be a problem but I've been driving cars with carburetor injection up until I've bought this 408, so its been a habbit for me to wait for few seconds (until the faint high pitch sound dissappear) before starting the engine. The manual also mention that the engine does not require 'pre-heating' by leaving it idle for few minutes before moving. You will burn unnecessary fuel if you do this.

hey, how you put those wiper up?

Turn off your engine, take out your key. And then press down your wiper controller just like how you turn on the auto wiper. Then it will go to parallel position.
To make it back to normal position, press the wiper controller down again.

thx for this info.. i also looking for this answer..

I brought mine to the puchong service center as it is the nearest for me. I did not ask ask them how or what did they do to address the issue but i did ask them if the issue have been solved and he said yes. The next day i did drive all the way to ipoh and back with average ard 130-150 did not hear any sound..........my rattling is normally when i go on bumpy roads it does appear.........but so far after the inspection its not there anymore.....

Sorry for not getting back to you on the warranty cert. I happen to be in PJ, so did my 1st inspection with Geotauto.My complaints and results below:
1. Slight rattle at rear left door.
Tighten left rear seat attachments - solved
2. Slight pull to left.
Realignment done - unsolved
3. Gears changing at fixed 2.2 RPM,not adaptive.
Don't know what was done - unsolved

Front dest guy not very technical,had a hard time even understanding the word adaptive. He showed me the worksheet.i could not understand the scribiling.Didn't want to be a pain in the butt,so left. He did say, you try and see!Will mentioned 2 & 3 again on the next service at Seremban, if I'm here. I think 3. can only be solved by the French engineers,they might be at Belakong. Level of service at Geotauto is acceptable. No pre booking,1st come 1st serve. Took about an hour+, as I was not the 1st. Good Internet at the waiting room,went prepared with my IPad. Actually wanted to stay on a little longer....hehehe!

Spoke to them about the additional warranty letter you mentioned. They said no such thing! The warranty booklet is the only one needed during service. Seremban fellows must be dreaming I guess!

1.A car in front of a crack (the hood), design problems - I think that is very nice, is not a problem
2 power steering oil spill - this is indeed, the new car has personally do not think what the problem (follow-up observations reported in the hair)
The three hub style quality is not good, all models are a kind - very good-looking style, quality is no problem
4 rear wheel and body gap - this has made my job post Q & A, absolutely no problem.
5 uphill obvious sense of frustration - the transmission downshift can feel uphill, but is not clearly frustrated (after all, 4AT)
6 the steering wheel is not integrated multifunction - rely on, which is also called a problem, in fact, a lot of function buttons on the steering column, just not designed steering wheel.
7 general audio - responsibly say, the effect is very good, As audiophiles, have yet to consider modifications it
8 and other vehicles for too long - this does not say, anyway, I mention are cars
9 Trunk handle - indeed not, but I did not feel inconvenient
Also open the door after 10 Lasuo car dangerous (it is said to facilitate escape) - true
 
- Everyone has his own views on the 11307 platform adapted car, also opportunistic change a name
12 Deluxe Edition leather, top with a version of GPS, the retrofit also expensive and does not integrate any function - fart. What my configuration has the original GPS function is complete, another day on the detailed job.
13 no tire pressure monitoring - this does not, this price is not a lot of them did not you?
The 14 rear middle seat Taiko, sitting uncomfortable - this is indeed, but did not feel uncomfortable
15 door storage space is not cut off, easy to pour water bottles - asking for too much!
16 foreign countries do not have this car (can not refer to the Euro-NCAP collision standard scores) - I do not know, this is not the right to speak
17 car standard is not replaced with new logo-I also like the new standard
18 invisible car nose - What does it mean? ? ? Motorcycles, bicycles can see the nose
19 no seat electric heating function - I was in Chengdu, this feature also do not have access
20 to chrome decorative too many significant vulgar - I feel nice, very nice, this only we own eyes!
21 hard suspension, afraid deceleration zone - Japanese car suspension style soft
22 brake disk is too small - my brakes good
 23 seat prop can not be adjusted - this did not understand the
 Electrically adjustable 24 co-pilot - this position insisted electrically adjustable.
25 idle shaking, very shaking - this is all nonsense, anyway, I do not shake
26 new car just left the question constantly, always people fear - alarmist, do not talk nonsense and misleading everyone! ! !
Summary: I chose to elect 408 my transfer did not leave a trace of regret, I like! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I only can say China people demand so much and expect to give little. I dont think this a major problem as stated. Maybe Gurun did a relief job for local market or the market force us to have no choice to choose?
So far I love my ride and looking forward to see better improvement after 1st service.

After driving the 408 for two days... The drive is excellent. Excited to get back into the car.

I have a few questions though:
1. How do you keep the air recycle mode on? I need to turn it on everyone I start.
2. How do you turn on the child lock? Apparently the central lock only prevents anyone outside from opening the door.
3. How do you make the car Bluetooth connect automatically whenever I'm in the car?

Thanks!

Added on September 7, 2012, 9:53 amNow that you mentioned it, noted that it's true. The specs sheet specifically mentioned that the gearbox is adaptive. Error in advertising or wrong gearbox?

1) I am looking for this ans also, but seems like it default to off it every time we start our car.
2) The child lock you can look at the rear door, there is a red button, use your key to turn the button to lock or unlock it. There is no auto button for child lock on dash board or driver side which you can find it on 407.
3) My hp Bluetooth connect automatically every time. Not sure abt yours.

Jfcheong, what brand of hp u r using? My s3 can't connect automatically...

1. OIC, thanks. Has anyone found a way around that?
2. The central locking button at the dashboard is good for the times when the goes down while the kids wait in the car. They can lock it really from the passenger seat.
3. My s3 doesn't connect automatically either. I need to open the Bluetooth menu to select Peugeot. Whereas my Innova car kit connects automatically to my phone upon ignition.

S3 also

Added on September 7, 2012, 12:40 pmMy S3 will pop a msg to notify nearby device for Bluetooth when I on the radio. I just ignore and did nth, den it auto connected.
