I am told there is no difference at any of the branches nation wide. That should be the case as the SCs are set up as Peugeot Blue Box. If a branch is unable to handle a particular issue on a car,then the team of floating experts is called in.

I have tried PJ and will now try Seremban branch for my 10K servive. Having said this,I understand many have been very satisfied at Balakong SC!

You don't need to worry,this engine is well built to handle those speeds for long spells. However our roads are not safe for those speeds,there's too much traffic. Road conditions are poor that you'll bouncing like a race horse!  I did get up to 180km/h on LEKAS hwy for almost the entire stretch, no problems at all. My engine is still ticking away like a Swiss watch!

I suppose it also boils down to marketing. Just open up a newspaper or go to any website, you'd see adverts by both T&H just about everyday. On top of that, they really do have a number of service centers around the country that can be seen prominently. From personal experience, Toyota really does offer very good customer satisfaction when you send in your car for servicing, I only had 1 mediocre experience with them during my 7 year of Toyota ownership which speaks volume. It's the same with Honda, the overall experience is smooth. Most people whom I speak to are largely ignorant in regards to the engine or features of the car and those are the people who represent the silent majority who rely a lot on word of mouth and experience from parents & friends and no surprises, a lot of them hold T&H in very high regard.

At the moment, Peugeot or VW or any other marques will need to invest more into their service infrastructure and customer service if they hope to break stranglehold held by T&H. A huge marketing blitz is required as well to improve the perception of these marques in regards to reliability and resale value.

saab cars were all turbo's.....this kinda mentality sunk them into doom!

Engine leak seemed to be a repeating issue with turbo engines. Be it Pug/VW/Ford.

To all my NA Engine brothers: 
So far any leaking issues?

Hmm, yeah actually this is the least of things to worry about. The more worrying one is how the engine is designed. PCV host carrying back engine oil mists going back into intake manifold is no good. Over time, sludge will start building up in the manifold causing issues. Sludge over time will harden and causes more wear and tear.

Dont know why they put and pcv hose there, but on higher performance model, ie THP200, this hose seems to be totally removed. I wonder what are the side effects of removing it. Blowby gases have no where to escape.

Anyway, can hardly wait for the warranty to be over. Once over, I'll get an occ installed just to be safe
