WAh! Thats was a good deal. I bought my pug from Bangsar. The SA only gave full tank of petrol. Still owing me the Peugeot tee

My pug is still having that similar problem with the steering but not a loud sound. My next service is 20k. Looks like I need to send the car back to rectify the problem.

Which branch did you get your 408t from?
Mine nothing except 9.8k discount...

how does the 408 t-shirt look like? can show picture?

Seems like you guys get good gifts n etc.. I have to squeeze my SA when collect car.. still waiting for BMB, the SA gonna hate me coz already more than a month since my loan approved.. next week will be able to get the car.. so far the SA only say will give gifts like umbrella n other peugeot merchandise but still unknown til I get it.. no free tint, only help me to send for tinting at RayTech..

so we either get RM10k cash discount or lower discount with freebies

i'll go for more cash discount

it will lower your final loan amount and interest paid

Glenmarie ah bro? Lol.

even now also have 10k discount?my sa only max 8k.how come they r giving discount?to clear off the last batch?

Bro you are absolutely right in cooling the water before it can be pumped into the engine water jackets to cool the engine. The fan at the radiator cools this water and ofcourse ram air due to forward motion of the vehicle. You have successfully cooled your Lion.

However the turbo is not happy. Turbos spin to something like 150,000rpm. I forget the temperatures generated of my head,unless I dig up my old torn notes,that too only if I find them.....hahaha! To keep the turbos cool and running happy,most use fluid bearings. A thin layer of oil is constantly pumped on to the shaft that supports these bearings. Whilst the oil cools the shaft and bearings and allows it to spin without much friction, it picksup tremendous heat. Don't forget the turbo gets up to 150,000 rpm. The heat generated here has to be cooled too. As suggested by bro jfcheang,not pushing your car the last few kilometers before reaching home helps a bit.

Older turbo cars used to have timer running the engine at idle for a few minutes to let the oil cool off. As you know,after shut down the engines ran for a while. A more effective method of cooling is to completely shut down the primary heat source,ie the engine, and cool the oil by a fan. Dissipation of heat by this method is much more efficient/faster, and does not consume fuel. Hence on our Lion the fan has to run a few seconds depending on heat level.

Hope this helps!

So far not too bad... listening to Radio trance - Boctok 5 (volume 18)

I only get 8k discount and RM50 for petrol. WTH? I felt I am conned. cilaka punya SA. I bought my car from Autoworld off federal / jln 222

Peeps, by the way, want to check what is the air pressure for 408t? I checked the handbook and side of the driver door, i see nothing familiar. Please help noob

fantastic explanation

very useful info, very helpful to ppl like me, 1st time owning a turbo petrol car

but are turbo diesel also share the same fluid bearing in turbo? when i turn off my pick-up, it just off like a normal engine

i only get 8000 discount, full tank of petrol and free tinted

no key chain, no pen, no dairy book, no shirt.......

Dear God, newer batch of owner got a happier purchase.
The older batch totally got nthg. I approached to Blue Box Plentong, which is the biggest dealer in JB. Apa offer pun tak ade, no discount, no freebie, no tint, no petrol.
End up I approached to a freelance SA, got Rm1.5k discount.

All turbo bearings generate alot of heat due to the very high spin speeds. There are many ways of cooling them. On the older engines as a general rule install a timer or idle run the engine for a while before shut down.

Sadly here in Sabah only got 1 dealer...nevermind, later i print screen this thread n show to their boss what other SA give as freebies

Guys - any alternative link for the check list ah? Cant seem to access. Thanks!
