nvm, so i wrote a email to peugeot complaint abt it.
really appreciated they respond, i sent the email at 5PM++, the next day morning a customer service call me said they will investigate it and will get back to me before 6pm.
as promise she call me back at 5pm, told me i'm entitle for the claim and the gps was ready for collect since last week... but my sa said NO to me and the day is Thursday...
and she ask me no need do any thing, just wait, they will pass the gps to me before next tuesday else....... finally my sa bring the gps from kl to klang for me at sunday, a good service my sa done!

Free gift???
Lucky you. Mine bought via eBay.

I wonder how much u have to pay for it? Not a lot I hope?

Hi guys, just sent my Lion for 1st 10k service! I did at 10350 actually & was scared sh#t wil exceed 10,500 !! Was impressed though, service advisor covers the steering & gear knob with plastic laminates & seat with new protective sheet. Not bad ah

Added on December 29, 2012, 9:53 amBtw, had also driven my 408 NA to Singapore ( Lion enters the Lion City !) last week b4 Xmas. On a stretch b4reaching skudai, had tried pitching against VW Passat CC & Scirocco !. Seriously NA can kept pace with Passat Cc with more room to go. As for Scirocco, the 1st 100kmh its surely ahead but not for long as by 150-160kmh til 185kmh, just nicely 20-30metres behind. Looks like 2.0 has enough grunt to keep pace once exceed 110kmh. Btw, the road was clear & certainly safe plus with the solid handling & braking capabilities. Also, I noticed at 140kmh, rpm is at 3.6k.

I'm very glad to hear this news. I think PBB is making a serious effort in customer service.Especially so,since Peugeot has invested heavily in Malaysia. It will be difficult, as people always remember the previous bad days.

Before I bought my Pug,I actually did a private investigation on PBB and SC of a German make.Being a technical person myself,proper maintenance is crucial to me! Spoke to front desk reception and inspected workshop. Final impression is that competence level with PBB is much higher! I can see PBB continue this trend. I believe Peugeot is here to stay!

Added on December 29, 2012, 10:11 amHehehe........well done on keeping the German boys on check! But actually both those cars can easily tapau even my turbo la! Those guys are super & turbo charged la!

I find it funny how ppl actually love to compare against other luxurious makes using acceleration at traffic lights, etc to gauge their own car's performance. How do u even know that the driver's of those cars were actually pushing their cars hard in the first place? They could merely be cruising while you are throttling hard to keep up. Even i could sometimes overtake much bigger cars with my Vios on a straight sprint but does that put my car on par with them? Surely not.

The Passat CC would easily thrash the 408 NA with its extra 50Nm torque which is why its 0-100kmph sprint is almost 4 secs faster. What does that tell u? And how is it that being able to keep up with a car while travelling at a constant 150-160kmph any indication of performance? Even a Myvi can maintain that speed easily enough.

In short, all im saying is that while i agree that the 408 is a good car we should refrain from using such yardsticks to measure performance.

Skyjack you're right, indeed effort has been put into it & hopefully it gets better from here ! I too had benefited from this sharing by u sifus! Hehe, as on the VW , ur right lah, but at the end, its on street road and not race track. But anyhow its just my testing of this machine that costs a fraction, rides & handles comfortably & an engine & tranny that is also responsive I might say.

Added on December 29, 2012, 10:43 amYou are one funny bloke actually & too bad lah you're not an owner and dont experience what 408 owner does. It's a shame really.

And what am i missing out on i wonder? Your claim that the 408 NA can keep up with a VW Passat CC despite the Passat driver clearly not pushing his car? I think Skyjack has clearly told you that both those VW's can easily tapau even his 408T. I know ure excited about your new ride and yes its a good car but its also alright to admit you made a mistake in your earlier comparison u know? Cheers!

Btw, you mentioned that your RPM at 140kmph is 3,600. Is this correct? If im not mistaken, the Optima K5 RPM at 160kmph is 3,250 only. At 200kmph its 4,250. So how did you get 3,600 RPM at 140kmph on your 408 NA?

Might also be because those guys are not accelerating to take a look at his 408. Remember, Peugeots aren't as common in SG than in MY. If I was driving there and I see a car that I haven't seen before, I also would speed up or slow down just to take a better look at the car.

Talking about VW Scirocco, I hardly catch up with my 408T on last weekend @ North Expressway since they have better 7 speed gearbox, horsepower and lighter body weight. But still fun catching up with them.

matsukatsu,

If there someone comparing his K5 rpm with yours 408NA then tell him that is a mistake too. K5 come with 6 speed gearbox and definitely having lower rpm at high speed when comparing with 408NA 4 speed gearbox.
