Put the smart tag in the dotted area and you'll be fine. That's what I do all the time. Otherwise, it won't go through (most of the time cannot)
*
For what I understand, smart tag will not work perfectly with 3M and VKool. Even auto gate remote control. Huper Optic has no problem on that.

Wah...tires so fast finish?...or just for alignment?.....if you want fancy tire bouquet can go Era Maju,...the best far alignment and balancing is the Michelin Shop beside Pelangi Leisure Mall,....want cheaper tires plus high trade in...batu pahat, but usually, you should try your neighborhood tire shop first.
*
Tire is still OK, just thinking for alignment balancing in near future. Batu Pahat is too far for me, hahaa...
I used to sent to Tmn Gaya Hawk tire, now is just to ask if theres any other options.

BTW, my friend who owned a 308T, near 3 years car. He told me his going to change his brake pad, then the tires workshop told him his disc also need to change as it getting thinner. Got such things de meh? Disc will get thinner and thinner when time goes? My old car drove for 5 years but never bother about the disc.

If the tire shop is OK for you means its OK...I also send to neighborhood shop...nothing fancy...

For Brake Disc, if the fb 308T forum, got a few members change. one change at 30K, 2 change at abt 60K...some use until 90K also still not change.
But one thing for sure, wimmez drivers wear the brakes more than men...hehe
*
I see, never know that disc also need to change. Any recommendation for my friend to change his disc?

308T front disc got many type...TRW, Brembo (max version only for 4sp) and bosch, make sure the model of 308 he is using...4sp and 6sp type
Pads got a dozen model...from standard to high end

If he is in KL, can drop by Quick-Save Auto Boutique, if in JB, can go to most shop to do...but I prefer Michelin shops because seems like workmanship is better.
JB also can go Era Maju tire Boutique, but price higher than normal shop
*
Thanks for your help, his 308 is 4 speeder. He got the pad ady, he now is looking for lobang for the disc. Will let him know see which he prefer. rolleyes.gif

4speed can get Brembo Max...
Example: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/937290/all

But thing is, did he go to other shop to check?, or drop by Nasim for checking and a quotation?....some tire shop just wanna make a fast buck by saying this and that

And take note, doesn't mean the brake disc more expensive means can last longer!
*
Ya, he sent his car for tire check, the tire shop showed him, he saw his disc really wear off quite alot. PBB charge quite exp so he looking for after market.

From What I know..Peugeot suspension system is linked to the Active Stability Control (ESP system)...seems like the 2.0 also has this system....so its gonna cost a few thousand ringgit to replace the whole set.

Ppl usually dun touch the absorbers unless its kong...or wanna burn the track...

Why not try firmer tires? Or pump in slightly more air into the tires
*
Erm... If I am not wrong, 2.0 doesn't come with ESP

So do you mean I should turn off (light off) the air circulation to prevent inflow of outside air? little bit confused here  tongue.gif
*
Light on = air circulation. Air circulate within your car preventing air flow in from outside.

Thanks for the info.... Is there anyway that I can set it to On automatically? Coz now I need to turn it on everytime i start the car
*
I am afraid that the ans is No. Many of us looking for ways to make it on as default. But seems like still can't. I manually turn it on everytime I start my engine.

Sometimes... when I start my car, I feel like the car wanna dash forward when I release the brake. But most of the times is normal, just sometimes feel like a horse keep wanna dash forward. Any idea why like that?

most probably at the time u feel the car surging forward, ur idling rpm is higher than normal or still unstable.
that's what i usually faces on my 308.
*
Any reason lead to that? I will try to note If the RPM is higher than normal when idling

Hi just got my new pug 408 2.0. Just want to check with other users if they faced this problem. My SA filled full tank and delivered car with 27 km mileage, now mileage at 275 km and fuel gauge now at half mark of the last bar. Looks like i shall probably hit 350 km for full tank vs official of 8.6L/100km ie 697 km. My fuel is 50% of what is stated. Assuming it's town driving can this be correct ?

Fellow owners hope you can help....!
*
It's normal for a new car, the 8.6l/100km was abit understated. Quite a miracle to hit that as feedback from most our members here, unless is on highway drive. My Turbo full tank can only last for around 500km mixture city and highway drive.

Have you tested Mazda3 2.0, Jetta and Focus? Mind sharing your comment for these cars when comparing to 408 NA? Always wonders what's in it for Jetta that's so special that make them sell it at that price other than the 'badge' factor.

The DSG and TSI combination is owning. Supercharge at low RPM, turbocharge at higher RMP. The car can zoom zoom even at low RPM, and this improve the FC also. But sorry that the interior is just too boring for me.

Shall we create a new topic as "Peugeot 408 Owner Club"? Or something like that? Actually this tread was meant for 408 spied shot, and TS has gone missing. Just a suggestion.
