Tis car so big & spacious, so long & wide, have a solid d-segment car feel. Price is good for 2.0, but too bad only 4-speeder.

Oic. I am wondering what should we do or what will happen to our car if our car break down after office hour? I know we are still covered under the Peugeot towing service but where do they tow the car to?

Actually wat is the actual tyre pressure? I when to tyre shop they said 220psi enough but on car hav sticker indicate 2.5bar... So how?

Thanks jfcheong and skyjack. Wow summons! The road will be more dangerous, now. It is this pug408 vs ford focus. Too bad Ford Focus didn't come with ecoboost, else my choice will be it. Yeh test drove pug at Bangsar branch and went on mahameru on a public holiday (long weekend). SA allowed me to flat it, it was exhilirating. The power kept on coming at the will.of.my foot and cabin space is impressively the signature of a peugeot + 6 airbags, for that price..unbelievable. the drawback.is service maintenance which I read will be 3.6 to 4k per year whereas Ford offers Parts &Labor free maint.

Current Pug specifically 408, how's ur maint total so far?

Yes, in terms of spaciousness and big torque of course Pug408 wins.
It was just a guess for me. I used to own a Pug 405 SR, therefore I roughly can feel the pinch on maint. However that time, petrol price was around 1.28 I think.

Is the blog owner a forumer here?
Although is a 308 maintenance account up to 50,000KM OTR, this can serve a general guide until some good soul can share theirs actual 408 acc if any.

He also accounted HP installment as expenses which likely may not apply to others.

lol you guys really crazy. The EP6DT  engine most unreliable and problematic engine ever created, period. yet you guys still want to buy

If for example, a Jetta with value of rm130k( a pre register), comparing with new 408T, which one is better? I kinda worry about maintenance cost of conti cars, when comes to major..

And thank to those helpful opinions from frens here.

Can it the same design???

Hello boss the design of the engine might come from the same person.

Argh....got a call this morning from SA, another 5K off the price for 2012 model. Wow desperate to meet quota or plenty of stock ups? Pulling hair now.

WOW..  should i buy now or wait till early next year... very hard to decide..

+1

Yeah, we notice that indicator before servicing. Its showing -700km.. You can just leave it aside as it doesnt affect anything.
Just be assure your car have enough oils to work things out normally.
you can service your car at 10k or at 6th month mark or within 2 weeks after you 6th month mark.
In my case I do it earlier at 7k coz my 6th due mark on 8th Dec. Im going for a long trip as I mention earlier and I hope my car are in good conditions for peace of mind plus better FC.

Generally i find Peugeot engines loud. The 408T is no exception but its probably due to the turbo. But then again, it might be a similar case to the Optima K5 which has a loud engine during cold starts but once warmed up, its relatively quite when idling.

I am going thru the pug threads at autoworld.com.my. I see owners of 308t with issues. Having said that, the 308t and 408t share the same engine and GB together with an incompetent SC which concerns me.

Yes slightly different engine which is why power output differs. The 508 hp is 156 while the 408 churns out 163Hp. Torque output same. Similar case to the Kia Optima K5 2.0L. The latest version launched last month gives out 170Hp as compared to the earlier version which gives out 163Hp only.

yours is the facelifted 408t with the new box right?

Could you share what is the 'm' engine difference between the 308t and 408t. Is the 508 using the same engine? Are the gearbox the same across the range?

I test drove 308t, halfway thru the engine check light appeared, SA said it's normal and given its a test car, they have not serviced the car.

Which car is giving out 170hp, 508,408t or Optima?

EP6CDTM (408t) carries the following mods: 

1)  Engine tuned to run on RON 87 petrol
2)  Remapped ECU
3)  New designed piston with lower compression
4)  New designed catalyzer.
5)  New engine oil filter housing with heat exchanger
6)  New turbo charger
7)  New fuel tank gauge unit with lower pressure pump to handle lower    grade petrol.
8)  A fuel filter to cater for hash atmospheric condition ( third world country).
