same dashbard, but different bling level

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

Thanks for the replies.

So which one is the turbo dashboard?

The one with the white trim is 408 turbo. 408 2.0 meter is black.

Hi sorry for the delay.... Was enjoying the car the whole day and only manage to snap some pictures when i just got home.....poor picture quality due to lighting issue





Overall very satisfied with the power and comfort of this car.

For who that already have their car can you let me know how to adjust the temperature sensor to detect the outside temperature. Cause currently my heads up display just show temperature as 2 dash line "--"

NICE!!

Any findings during the inspection? How about the USB port & Bluetooth?

USB and bluetooth works perfectly.....even have no problem streaming songs from phone (iPhone & Galaxy Note) to the car speakers.... The dashboard white lights looks really cool at night.....even rear view mirror will auto dim so that if you have a vehicle at the back of you using High lights, it will not be so glarring

According to Ford Malaysia website, Focus comes with 2 litre Duratec engine putting out 145hp 185nm torque. It's no match for the 408 turbo. Even the 408NA might accelerate a tad better with 200nm torque,but has a heavier body weight.

Seem like 408 is selling well ya...people is able to accept more and more nowadays on pug

could be the new turbo engine that brings more confidence. the n/a engine has always been a reliable one all this while.

only concern now is the service & maintenance cost, and the service center quality

Peugeot has invested heavily in Malaysia putting up a state of the art robotic assembly plant in Gurum. The intention is to make Malaysian assembly plant cater for the whole of ASEAN. Certainly this spells a lot of product confidence. With the parent company having a strong foot here, things should only get better for Peugeot brand of cars.
As for the THP, I understand it's been given a serious make over addressing reliability issues. The new Prince seems to be behaving!

Mine not behaving. Now already 11k mileage and it's going to the workshop for the 3rd time in 1 month timeframe. Damn. Advise to people, make sure you have spare car just in case. I did have a spare car lying around, but then the service center is quite far away from home (Balakong <-> Ampang). So I always end up waiting at the service center anyway

Is your the 156THP 6 speed?

508 156THP first batch. Engine kencing aka leaking. Not that it affects the car till the extend that it cannot go. But the engine looks dirty. In the long term it will affect the reliability of the engine if remain unaddressed. I believe it will cause carbon deposit to form in the valve mechanism.

You mentioned specifically for the first batch. Have they resolve the problem on the current batch?

I live in Ampang too, why didnt u bring your car to KL Volcare? Much nearer.. Or they cant do it?

SKYjack is this a reliable info?
when i refer to other country spec, it stated 2.0engine give 170hp 202nm torque.

There appears to different spec for different countries. It is a business strategy. The Malaysian spec seems to be lower powered. Google it and see for yourself.
I actually saw the car in OZ, really superb looking. They had the turbo diesel which is what I wanted. Unfortunately not for Malaysian market!
