No no..not me..I saw in FB someone did up his 308 to look like that Black and white AE86 Tofu seller...he used black stickers on the trims!

Anyway...stickers comes in many colors

Secret, cannot tell, but both of us are very active in there..hehe

So far, new owners are curious over this "alarm" thing.

Peugeot is a 'cold' car. I also simply park anywhere I like without any added safety locks. But if I drive my Vios...have to double lock with mechanical locks other than the supplied Alarm.

Peugeot can only be stolen if hijacked, stolen from home and the thief grab the keys or towed away.

Never put expensive stuff in the car, my dads 406 also got broken into...brady thief broke the side glass just to see whats in the glovebox. Actually, it dun matter what car you drive, those thief will always wanna break in your car to checkout whats inside, no matter your car got alarm or not.

For me I use the security tint..for what its worth.

And one more thing, your warranty will be void if you install an alarm...this I know. So you guys just get use to these thieves most undesirable cars.

I used the Checksheet to collect my 308 and I think it miss out a few things in there.....anyway it was helpful and thanks to the Author.

But here are things that were missed out when I used the checksheet to inspect my car...so I drove it for a few days before spotting the 'defects'.

1. Inside the headlight was like a stain...probably it had a scratch and the factory decided to polish it back....not so noticeable...but its there...cannot claim one.
2. The dials chrome bit had some blemish dots....not so noticeable...but its there...cannot claim one.
3. The boot plastic panels seems like the surface not so even....not so noticeable...but its there...cannot claim one.
4. I tinted the whole car using Wingard for RM900, but they didn't tint the moonroof and also I think the didn't use the same tint for the whole windows. Side is same but rear and front looks like different. The color I ask for was also a bit different...mine was smoke black...but instead got Satin Silver.The tinted black for the portion above with I didn't like and seems like it wasn't perfect. Not sure why, the black and silver was in the small wingard cateloge, but can't find it in the webby.
5.The most you can ask for from the sales person is petrol full tank, the rest of the things like umbrella, pen they will say no stock, so get what you can first...a full tank.
6.Ask the salesman to set the car for you...blutooth, DRL, Brightness etc. Reading the manual book is good...but time consuming just to set up the basic functions.

One thing that most impact during collecting a car is the lightning condition of the showroom....it will hide many imperfections...better you drive it slightly outside under the sun and start doing the inspection. I know it will be hot and sweaty...but this is one time effort.

Good luck and congrats on your new ride

Post some pictures on your new ride

Dunnoleh..most 308T 6 speed 3 year free service and parts....unless wanna upgrade the engine oil to more expensive one

Turbo timers are thing of the past bro...now its all electronically controlled.

What I do is after running like above 170km/h on the highway or really rev the car, a short 2 minutes of cruising abt 80~100kmh before stopping is good enough.

If you want to cool your engine down...never drive below 50km/h...the air inside the engine bay is not moving at all.

inb4...Why Turbo Glows red question...haha...cabut

For normal driving, Yes, just take out the keys, i can tell you, so far there have been no issues that the Engine overheat due to this. Not even one case.

But if you hentam the turbo, better cruise at about 80~100 for 2~3 minutes before reaching destination.

As long as all payment is done at Nasim showroom and get the official reciept and ask the Manager to sign it in front of you is good enough.

I dun think Nasim wanna play hanky panky with all the official documents.

Sabar bro...car sure come..

And remember to ask for Petrol Full tank...cos most of the time, when we ask for umbrella or pen whatever...they always say no stock.

Poison ppl is it?

There were a few 508SW GT brought in a few months back to test it in Malaysia environment. I think it was OK, thats why they dare to bring in the GT.

Thats good info

And dun forget that you need to renew road tax and insurance, new rubber etc that's not mention in there if you time it wrongly, you will be short of 6 to 7k easily (incl major service)
The perils of car ownership

I think the 308Vti/Turbo one is for the 308T 4 speed version...the 6 speed version cost more to service the gearbox..I think Kenso's one is updated

Bro, you are talking abt warranty or service/parts?

Warranty doesn't incl servicing cost and parts used for servicing example oil, filter etc.

It Depends on the promotion period.

Some even get 3 years free service/parts and warranty too...some only 5 years warranty.

after you get the car, use some dashboard UV protectant on it. ACE hardware got many good ones. Get one around RM50

For those who are having problems pairing an iPhone. You need to stop the car first. Then pair. Can't do it while driving.

But actually, I dun like pairing so much, because no 'privacy' unless you are alone in the car.

Yes...my 308 can...I'm sure the 408 also can...

yes...and guess what, the key/remote control cost RM800...so better get those RM30 silicon case to wrap it up.

Seriously, I'm still not used to the 6 speed gearbox...especially when entering corners very fast, even with tiptronic, still can't get the gears right and little or less engine breaking...not like my Vios AT, no need to brake....just drop one gear...and see the rev redline while cornering.
The best and safest method with the 308T is to drop gear way before entering the corner, and sometimes need to press the brakes too


After you have completed the run-in period, the trouble is, the gearbox oledi adapt to your slow driving speed during this time, now its time to reset the gearbo. After stopping and off the engine (example after reaching the house), make sure all the lights are off, then press the accelerator pedal full for abt 10secs, then let it go....feel the difference of a 'unlearned' gearbox the next day. Thank to Kenso for this Tips


If I'm not mistaken, the 308T can activite this using the switch only when the key is in the hole before starting the car, once the engine start it wont work....need to off the engine again and activite or disengaged. Probably it works the same way to for the 408

Its the setting...most new owners will encounter this...the trick to it, set it below temp 20 and also less than middle speed. If set 20 but use Auto sure loud one...

Another trick is if the Front windscreen fogs up, just set the temp to 'High' and manual adjust the air to the fronts...leave it for 2 ~3 minutes. Wellit will be slightly hot during that period...but whats 2~3 minutes compared to a foggy windscreen. After that set below 20 and Auto....after stablize, use the manual controls...
There is air circulation button but this one is another story.
