No bro, it's tint,uv and security protection for windscreens. I will be doing a fair bit of long distance runs,so felt this are important.

SA gave me vouchers for Wingard. Done some research and it should be reliable.

Paid my balance downpayment today and SA pass me the vouchers for tinting and coating. Just want to ask if anybody here had done Quartz 7 coating. I find it to be quite expensive. Is it worth it?

Was told by SA that my car could be ready by next week. Any checklist which I could refer to when inspecting my new ride?

Here the checklist for 308.Maybe can use as reference:

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 smile.gif

Don't collect at night if possible. Daytime or early evening. You need to see if there are blemishes.

Exactly what the SA told me. He said security tint is not possible to install on front windscreen. Is it true? Then people can always smash the windscreen in order to get their way inside the car??

Not true,I'm getting my fort windscreen done too. Intact it is most important to have this protection done on the front windscreen. However the security protection is not to prevent thiefs smashing. In an accident the shattered windscreen will not fly all over and hurt the occupants.

Yeah it's about that in all banks. I got mine for 2.44% at Maybank. Maybe if you got good credit rating, you might get a bit lower,but I doubt it will be lower than 2.4%.
Are you interested in the turbo. Looks like the turbo appears to be more popular.

Yeah, I went test drive turbo 2 weeks ago at Glenmarie and Im totally fall in love with it. I believe Peugeot did some improvement regarding their gear box and oil leaking problem on the previous/other model. I wanna get it but have to settle down everything first since Im shifting this end of the month.

It's like a drug la,once you test drive it you are hooked. Nothing else makes sense,you just want it. I went wanting to get the NA, but after the test drive of the turbo,all logic flew out of the window......hehehe! Good luck,hope you settle your stuff soon!

308t 6speed owners can give you the best answer. Form what I have found 408t cost around $400 for each service. Not much different from Jap cars,some tell me it's cheapear! Just for comparison, I spend $200+ every 3 months on my wife's Myvi.

Mine is 4-speeds 308T. Each services costs me around RM400, for every 6 months or 10,000KM. And I like to add that I'd never used oil from SC, I always bring my own oil. So the cost might be differ.

Question for those who have used turbo Pugs.
Is it necessary to warm down the engine,ie run it at idle for a short period, before shut down? I'm a little surprised Peugeot did not add a timer.

if the service is equivalent to 308T, then normal service should be around RM400 and major service (40k and 60k) is almost 1k.
