It's only a sensor problem. Don't worry too much about it. At the moment your ESP/ASR may not function. SC will be able to fix this.

Yes it's proven EW10A engine which has been further enhanced and a new gearbox (AT8). The old gearbox (AL4) has had issues which has been addressed. Definitely value for money!

Clearly my choice in NA C segment. Jap cars are not worth the money. Koreans are pretty close,ones to watch in a few years,but they are getting expensive! If NAZA continues with affordable price,I see a bigger market share soon!

I asked the same question in Feb this year. Was told all sold out! 407 is a good looking car. Plenty in the used car market.

With the intro of 408, 407 has lost resale value. Try to buy one from owner. Used car dealers are stubborn and will not reduce price much cos they want to make a huge profit. However it's good car if you don't mind it's unsprinted acceleration!

Your car is brand spanking new! Don't worry,as your engine 'beds in', FC will improve. You will see a big change especially after the 10K service. Happy pugging mate!

Good to hear your car was fixed without a hassle and prompt service. I think with the entry of Peugeot Blue Box, customer service is improving. A far cry from previous setup and it is that poor reputation that people always bring up when Pug is mentioned. Well done,if PBB keeps at this phase,we should see more Pugs as people will gain confidence.

Do a few more test runs. If you can confirm your findings,then you can conclude the transmission has adapted to your driving style. Congrats on your adaptive tranny.Glad to hear your jerky days are gone!

It needs a TCU reprogram. I'd suggest Glenamrie or Balakong would be better. Most other SC may not have the right people to do it. When I tried to get mine done at Geoauto, the front desk guy did not even understand the word 'adaptive'.

I might take the trouble to send my car to Balakong for 10K service,although it's is a bit far for me.Try and sort out the adaptive tranny and the rear door rattle!

This seems to be a inherent problem with right hand drive Pugs. Most have complaint a slight left pull,almost unnoticeable, but it's there.If it's a serious pull,then it's alignment.Before buying my Pug,did quite a bit of research,found many 308 owners had the same complaint.

I can understand your concerns. I'm actually quite surprised about your jerky gears. Yours being the 6spd Aisin tranny is supposed to be very smooth. I don't even realize gear changes unless I look at the RPM counter. Try Balakong,it being PBB nerve center got some French Engineers there. I'm sure they'll be able to solve your problem.

After you done it,give us your feedback. I too am keen to visit Balakong SC.Tks bro!

Bro care to explain how it was done. Maybe we can try here in KL!

Sad to say 408 Bluetooth is a little outdated. It does not support new version software.Even auto connect with Android is not possible. Have to manual connect after every engine shutdown. Not sure if there are any updates. However it does auto connect with Blackberry and Symbian software ( Nokia ). Anyone with these might want to consider before updating hp software.

Is your hp android? If it is,what update is yours? The tikus sound is most probably from the rear left door. I have this although faint, sometimes hear it at high speed. Already mentioned it on my 1st inspection,but still there. Next month will do 10K service,see if it can be fixed!

Yes after 5K mileage the engine seems to have got smooth and nice! Enjoying it very much! Expecting it to be even better with better FC after oil change!

Hi bro and welcome! How to you find the handling of your new pug compared to your old one,leave the engine aside as turbo is much more powerful.You having owned both cars will be the best person to answer this. I was negotiating for a 09 407,that same week 408 was released. Went with idea of getting the NA,but could not resist the turbo after the test drive. This engine is addictive,be careful! Already picked up 2 AES summons!

Like bro jfcheong,I too get around 9.5L/100km on a 50/50 city and urban drive. For me this is acceptable as the power produced is equivalent to a 2.4 liter NA engine,but the FC of 2.4 engine will be a lot more. 408t FC should not be compared with the FC of a 1.6NA. That's like apples and oranges. More fuel has to be used to produce more power.

However, fuel wastage is greatly reduced by these new technology direct injection engines. Combustion is more complete. With turbo, power is greatly enhanced. With all these innovations we are getting power of 2.4NA but FC of 1.8NA engine! You may be wonder why 1.6 litter engine model cost 16K more than the 2litter brethren! It is not the extra frills the 408t carries but rather for the latest technology this engine brings! Let me also tell you at 126K, it is a phenomenal bargain!!! Show me another car with this price, with this spec!!!

You can get better FC than ours. That one have to learn from bro bearhearts wife! That's what I call 'the art of fine driving'!

Maintenance is comparable with most C segment cars. Like bro lowpro said, 60K service has been adjusted,nothing to fear now. 308t owners are quoting $1.6K for the 60K major service! I will suggest to Nasim to get gearbox fluids direct from Aisin,this will definitely drop major service cost. Would like to hear from bro's their input on this. Is there a better way to approach this,please give me your suggestions.

Tks for your feedback. Yes we can't always win. Glad you are enjoying the 408t,it's awesome! Check your steering fluid level,it may be low.

Damn...........2 daaaaaamn good looking cars........hehehe! Congrats!

When you call all of us crazy,inreply we say, don't display your stupidity! EP6DT is not even our engine!!!

+1 Very well put!

This is a fact,Mini's have had a whole host of problems like timing chain and chain guide selves and more! Audi's and VW had sever premature carbon buildup that engines had to be decoked at 25Kkm.

EP6CDTM has evolved over the years. 8 mods were carried out addressing reliability issues. But ignorance will still bash Pugs!

There's 88pages on this thread and roughly 25 408t owners. Gohead and read every page. Every one has expressed joy in owning this car. Some of us early birds are coming up to the 10K service, no major problems at all!

The deal now is fantastic, go test drive. If you not hooked............I say no more!
