QUOTE(Pugbunny @ Mar 16 2013, 12:02 PM)
Today my pug engine dies off suddenly while travelling at 50km/p. The aircond and radio are still functioning. Luckily not on busy road. I thought it was the battery problem. After stopped at the roadside,  I switched off the engine. I managed to switch on the engine after waited for few seconds. I tried it for few times and all attempts were successful. Was this a battery problem or fuel pump problem? Anyone has encountered this problem before?
Anyone know why Pugbunny's 408 broke down?
Need the answer so that i can determine whether to book one 408 or just forget it.

Thank you.

I don’t think it got to do with the driving mode selection. This is what I gathered from other forums on 308.
 
“Pug uses lots of uses lots of amperage due to the electronic system and requires high amp batteries. Even hydraulic power assisted steering needs electricity to operate???. If you always drive in traffic jams or for a short distance, the alternator does not have long time enough to recharge the battery. That is the reason why battery died prematurely. Some of 308s don' t have battery problem if normally driven long distance and outside cities.
 
As for the new Lion, it is advisable to check your battery condition during your first 2500km, 10k and 20k service. The indicator is not accurate. The best way to measure your battery is always using the battery health tool.”
 
Like other sifus mentioned in the earlier posts, it’s more on the battery design flaws . I don’t understand why Nasim didn’t resolve it for our 408.

Edited - battery warranty is up to 1 year or 20,000km, whichever comes first. Right?

my car hv to stay glenmarie sc tonight
engine died again after traffic light, this time unable to start back

Paging SkyJAck.
It's 3/80 now.
ahui,
so what did the SC say about your car?  what was the issue?
I have this concern because I'm selling off my wife's Waja, which is also having the same problem and we are actually considering getting the 408.
The biggest problem with our Waja is that no one knows what is the problem that is causing the engine to die off while on the move.  Each time happened, need to call the Kurnia tow truck.  Lucky that we have another two more cars in the porch.  Since Feb, she has been using the 406 as her daily ride to work.

ahui is one of the 2/ 80. He did experience engine die and startup,if i'm not mistaken. Ok this is a more serious problem. I think I did say monitor your engine,if it happens again,take it to SC. It could be a number of things. My gut feel is ECU feedback sensor failure. Lets wait for SC diagnostic and remedy.

erm.. yes here, those white color thing on the rubber wall in the hole..

my car stil in ward, dun know what the problem yet
changed speed sensor, bat, throttle body, air intake....

Im hoping u didnt pay for anything...?

i done mines at 2200..maybe u can coll your SC and ask..what they do just do a checking..  

Yalah yalah!  can action already

Everyone here.  if you have any problem or issues with your 408, please ask ask ask ask ask Mr Reliable EP6CDTM.
he's provide you with the answer and solution.

Thanks.   

they actually have stock for parts never changed before..not bad...nasim is improving

i'll be more concern for having to fork out RM3600 if this ever happen again after the warranty period expires.

That's a lot of problems 

I think his car isn't much older than mine? I know bought his car at least a few months before I bought mine. Different marque though.
