the whizzing or hissing sound on the steering was also present when i tested the 2.0 and T. did ask the SA about that and he said its normal and if its faulty it would NOT be used as a test car. not sure  if its  normal feature. whats the best fix for the rattling sound. i also notice sound from left size when hitting uneven or wornout roads.

Brothers and sister, these are the acc with the spare wheel. Mine seems like missing somethgs. Not complete set?

Oh~~ Thanks for explaining bro, never know that there is a chrome wheel nut cover on it.
Is our 408 come with security wheel nut/ bolt?

Thanks for the info!

pug 408t owner, please advice.

I just got my lion, mileage 650+, but the radiator water seem drop to the low level bout 8 days time.

Do you all need to fill up the radiator water frequently?

Thanks..

Just got an update from SC. Faulty manifold sensor. They need to order the parts which mean my lion will be hospitalized for few more days.

I just noticed the rear of my 408 by night... I love the way the rear lights make parallel diagonals! 

Ashamed to say that I didn't actually notice how the rear lights looked till now :-P

All NA owners on the list -have you booked your 1st service already, mind sharing the experience?

My French Guy neigbour owned a 308 and told me Peugeot car is great, service so-so, but kept on saying peugeot's a good car. He told me glenmarie Blue box is the worstn service, the rest is ok. he now gets service done in PJ.

Being a week old NA owner...my number one complaint is the rough gear shift when you are slow...wonder if this common...seemed to be the same conclusion every one has. And no sync with my iphone but that's OK as I still observed the driving etiquete of "no phone-talk while driving"...

Leap of faith is true for me too. I don't anybody here decides to bring home a Lion the way that one might decide on a Toy-cat or Hon-dog. Heh.

Bought my Lion from 4S @Jln Chan sow Lin and most likely will send it back there for service, where did you send yours?

Good stuff ! Thanks! Great to know here exist a brotherhood of lion tamers. Getting Lion is a very bold step for me akin to taking the leap of faith. This forum has been part of the reason I make that choice!

Getting in an argument with woman is like BEING ARRESTED because anything you say can and will be used AGAINST YOU! hehehe : S.O.S.   

I'm enjoying this forum!

Btw guys, can a start/stop button be fixed on our Lion? Wanna make it faster to start the car at night, ;-).

Regarding the warranty, still rmb the plug and play OEM I mentioned before? I checked with the front desk of SC last weekend. They can't gave a confirm ans whether it void the warranty.

Thanks, where and what brand of start stop button is that?

At the moment, the doors do lock automatically after starting to drive off. That's adequate for me already.
Thanks for the feedback.

Read about Kwan thai's predicament. His 508 won't start engine (start/stop engine press type). Peugeot sent a technician and after 10 hours of repairing, the car was not spared to be towed away to sc. Now it has been sitting there for a mont or so I think with peugeot giving no assurance when it will be returned to owner in working condition.
Kwan made numerous calls and postings on Peugeot fb only to be deleted and banned by peugeot fb administrator. Mind you, his car was less then 1 week old when it broke down. He was asking for a brand new 508 as a replacement as the sc could not make it works.
Any lawyer here who knows that if a car less than 30 days old is not moving and can't be repaired given stipulated time allows car owner to demand for a new car for replacement? Kwan

Let's be fair though, 3 weeks and no response or solution is still really quite bad. At the very least, if his SA offered him a courtesy car, it would have at least generated less ill will. I really pity the owner, no one wants to get a lemon and it's quite unfortunate he's been hit with one.

Now I have phobia of thinking will my car breakdown halfway.....aiyoooo...buying this car should make me worry less and happy more...

No one want a lemon. Just hope that we don't really need that warranty claim. The extension of 5 years warranty just a bonus a peace of mind. We still get problems while something happen even with the warranty.

Sure and if they tell you it will take about 3 hours to arrive as compared to a towing service that you know who can do it in 1 hour, would you still want to use Peugeot's towing service? As evidenced by the FB 508 owner, I think it's a good idea and good practice to have a handy backup number just in case your big peace of mind decides to act up that day.

Right, but does it hurt to have a backup number as well? It's not a big deal to have an extra roadside assistance number (eg. AAA) on hand to call just in case your primary helpline number goes haywire or something. No need to get so defensive.

What's TCU?

Yup, keen!

I'm driving a peugeot 3008 and fiesta with dual clutch transmission. Even the ford dual clutch jerks like hell when you drive in the city. Only when you are really gunning on it then it is smooth. Else most of the time, the pug is definitely smoother than the ford dual clutch.

No idea on VW DSG but for city driving, the dual clutch in ford is a different animal compared to conventional auto. The way you control the throttle need to change a little to compensate for that jerkiness. Wifey had a hard time changing her driving style to suit the Ford.

Here's some factual experience for you

1. As a co-owner of the new FB Civic 9th gen, the 5 speeder is by far the smoothest I've driven so far. It doesn't jerk or drag and the car never feels slow despite it being having only an NA engine. Acceleration is nicely linear and robust, this is a very nice car to drive if you don't mind the loud road and wind noise that kicks in once you hit 120km/hr and beyond.

2. Every once in awhile, I'll drive my relative's Audi Q5. The 7 speed S-tronic (DSG) is silky smooth when I drove it. But I've been told during the 1st few months of ownership, the car also jerky at low speeds. However, these days the car has much less incidence of jerkiness at low speeds because it has since adopted to the driving style of the owner. He has never complained the car feeling draggy at low speeds.

3. My own Passat - This car is noticeably more draggy and jerky at low speeds, particularly on 2nd gear when it appears more frequently during the 1st 2 months. I've owned my car for nearly 4 months now and the incidence has reduced although it is still appears every now and then especially in start stop traffic. Like the Q5, I believe the onboard computer is learning and adjusting to the owner style of driving and likely such incidence will reduce as time goes by.

4. The family Polo Tsi which my parents drive (owned for slightly over 2 years) - This car too comes with a 7 speed DSG like the Passat but unlike the Passat, I have not noticed any drag or jerk at low speeds whatsoever. And I drive this car when I just want to go out for a quick errand especially in places where there are lots of cars and parking can become a problem. The only thing I hate about this car is how it will roll back/forward on an incline because there isn't a hill assist/hold mode.

5. My old Corolla Altis 2008 current gen pre-facelift - Like the FB Civic, the gearbox on this car is fairly smooth but since it is only a 4 speeder, accelerating from the 40km/hr mark is a little slow. It's a competent car but when you need speed, the rev counter will jump to 4k and up which isn't that nice since the engine roar is louder at high revs.

Btw, the jerky and drag on the DSG is something you will notice at low speeds. In my experience, it most appears during start stop traffic but surely not something that is difficult to adjust or ruin the whole driving experience. The jerk only happens for a second or so while the drag is something that can go on until you can accelerate faster. There are no loud engine noises or vibrations just in case anyone is wondering.

The FB Civic gear change is definitely the smoothest overall but I'd still prefer my 7 speed DSG anytime because nothing beats the feeling turbo torque and the quick shifts of the DSG to bring in that power.
