Just get my car, i observe in front brake is like "too more ketat" when every time push the brake to maximum and release it. it have sound come out.. do all of u have this problem during ur new car?? after back home, i look at the front rim. i fell front rim is hot but rear rim is like normal temp(cool). it mean my front brake system got problem?? pls share ur all exprience. just want to make sure is it normal or no.. thx.

3M quality not bad also, almost the same with V-Kool.
Just that the color not dark enough, thats why I didnt take that. If you don't really mind the darkness of the tinted. I would recommend to take 3M.
Light transmission of 3M -->> 70%
Light transmission of Huper Optic -->> 40%

I'm experiencing the rattling sound from right side of dashboard and front left window. The rattling is so noticeable and kind of annoying when I was cruising without the radio on normal federal road. Wondering if anyone is experiencing the same? Will complain to SC during my first inspection. Also, I must say the NASIM assembling work for 408 needs miles of improvement. I noticed that lots of flaws with the assembling work in and outside of the car. Will try to take some photo and post it here to share.

Added on August 22, 2012, 4:26 pmI noticed there are few complaints logged under http://www.facebook.com/peugeotmalaysia about 408 which pending for Peugeot's reply that we should be noticed of.

This is very general question and the answer has far fetching implications.   I know business implication are grave and immence. I believe the government of the day will come with a workable rescue plan. It may not be a 100% cure,I have no idea. Not to get too long winded,I'm going to keep the answer to how I will be affected.
Although I bought my car 2 months ago and reduced tax will drop valve of my car drastically, I'm for the move. Peugeot has never had good resale valve in Malaysia. All of us buy the car knowing this. We buy this car for it has to offer, not how much we can sell it for later. Unfortunately this move of reducing tax will further drop the valve of my car. I'm not going to drool over it but when the time come to sell,I'll write it off on the years of pleasure of ownership of a great car. 
On the positive side,due to reduced tax,my next ride will be a even greater one!
As for the proposal of reducing tax, yes I'm all for it!

Back to topic then,

Is anyone had apply Sierraglow coating here?
How much and will it void the paint warranty?
I just had my car recently and I am not sure I should apply now or few years later.

Guys correct me, Sierraglow is purely to retain that factory paintwork shine? Does it protect the paintwork from scratch?
Do they provide guarantee on shine retention period?

The points actually not much affected me. This is more to the fineness while assembling the car. They should giving more care on these tiny miny things~ The most attractive to me is the point number 3
I totally agree that the 6 speed gear is not SMART enough, it drag till around 2500rpm to change to the next gear. Its ridiculous it dragging the gear at 2200rpm while I am moving at a slow speed!! End up I was like the commenter changing the gear manually!

Huh... following Hyundai Elantra footstep?
Normally by end of the years most of the car brands will give promo as people will wait for next year manufacturing date, no?

I'm actually quite surprised about your jerky gears. You did mention this earlier. By now the adaptive gearbox should have settled in to your style of driving. Mine a 6 spd,was not jerky from the start,but has now settled to my driving style with silky smoothness. To be frank, I really don't know when my gears are changing. I only realise gear change if I happen to notice the drop in RPM. However, your is not a serious problem. Might need a TCU remap. See the SC at your convenience.

BUMP STEER effect is simply the vibration and jerks you feel on the steering wheel when run over speed bumps. These speed bumps are usually laid continuously to slow down vehicles at accident prone areas. 

The vibrations and jerks appear more pronounced on the turbo models due to the sports tuned suspension.  I'm sure even the NA models will feel this,but being a softer suspension,it may not be as pronounced. The writer however suggests a defect in the manner the wheels are fitted on the 408s. Will be interesting to see if it is so!

If you don't feel any vibration running the speed bumps,then there may be something wrong with your car. Some of these speed bumps ( speed breakers ) are quite vicious. The intention is to force the driver to reduce speed.

well, just back from ford showroom after test drove again pug 408 1.6t.

ford are launching all new ford focus sport. and sport plus mid of sept.

with RM115888.00 for Ghia titanium and
      RM128888.00 for Ghia titanium plus

with so many features like ford always do.

but the SA claim that this 2.0L Petrol Direct Injection l4 DOHC 16v, FC can do somewhere 6.5L/100km 100% highway and mix 5050 about 7L/100km. cos it's direct injection.
but now i just noticed pug 408 1.6 thp also using direct injection what....

Added on August 31, 2012, 6:55 pmbtw, i went to mazda showroom to see mazda 3 2.0 again.
oredi sien with the mazda interior which i feel not bad b4.
no offence to m3 fans. cos the judgement may vary for anyone.

beside that found that there's torque vectoring control in new focus.
do 408 have this feature? or it's similar to traction control?

http://www.autoworld.com.my/v2/news/nb_det...=RT.ATC.CAR.BTW

btw. my fren tell me 308 is still consider cbu france but 408 cbu china.

the SA sales talk 408 ckd gurun and import part from france is bull shit?

You can sort out the problems anytime,don't have to wait for 1st inspection. Rattling on left rear door seems common,most of us had it. Got mine sorted out. Slight pull to the left is still there,even after SC visit.

Normally i start my engine without waiting for the STOP light to turn off......and when i turn off the engine i did not off the aircond.....will it cause any problem?

Really aah! I have been reading the manul upside down to auto connect Bluetooth,but no success. Finally asked my SA,he said no auto connect. This SA not the bullshit type,he's been honest and delivered on all his promise. After that I manual connect every time. A bit cumbersome,every start got to reconnect,especially when go out makan and then want to go elsewhere!

just to verify, the long button at the end of the windows switches at driver's door is only to "lock" the windows, and is not child lock?

That is different from 308, where that button is actually child lock button.

Hi everyone, I’m new here and hope to learn from all the otai2, taiko2 & abang2 long here.

Since my wife and I want to purchase spacious and comfortable car, we had ditched the ever popular new 9th Generation Honda Civic and bought Peugeot NA 2.0 blue colour instead one month ago. We also add leather seat cover for the comfort for our expecting baby by end of this month . Here I want induct myself in the list below:

2.0
1. kejusan - blue
2. Poyoguy - blue
3. Gill71. - blue
4. AHY20 - bronze
5. prody – black
6. R-1 - blue

Turbo
1. SKYjack - blue
2. sbd - blue
3. kevinboey - white
4. din5353 - black
5. shyguy_shah - white
6. chinana - white
7. Kndfz. - Black

21. cityofdevils - Aster grey

The car now has run 1.2k km and currently anxious waiting for the next inspection at 2.5k km. Hope there would be no negative findings. So far the car is smooth and the grip in taking speedy cornering is good.

The only negative is the difficulty in connecting my iPhone to the car’s Bluetooth system. It’s always disconnect when trying to make a call out. I found out that my current iOS software version 5.1.1 has issues on connecting to car’s Bluetooth system. This is proven when my wife’s iPhone iOS software version 4.3.3 has no problem in calling out via the car’s Bluetooth system. Hope someone can help me to rectify this. Thanks in advance.

Just got an update from SC. Faulty manifold sensor. They need to order the parts which mean my lion will be hospitalized for few more days.

I checked the details..i think it's not 1400kg...it's 1800kg. I hope I m wrong.

Here's the pic of my 408NA's speedometer at 190kph along PLUS highway a few days ago.
No issues in terms of stability but my balls did shrink a bit.

It's been a while since I did something crazy like this....pls do not compromise your safety in similar fashion.
I wouldn't attempt this a second time.

i notice there are speed limit stated in the brochure. 1.6T is 215km/h and 2.0 is 195km/h. Does that mean the car cannot go more than that? anyone tested?

Drop by puchong Peugeot showroom near IOI with t-short pant...but get good service by the SA and keep asking me to test drive 408 2.0 and 1.6 Turbo...lolx...make me hard to make decision even bfore i test drive...nice car with nice price range...omgness

Btw, i m planning to get an elantra 2013..did anyone know that will there any facelift 408 comming 2013?
