It's not an unusual problem, even my friend's 3008 encountered the same issue as you. Glenmarie SC gave him RM80 discount voucher for his troubles, which isn't bad at all. Where did you get your car fixed? Perhaps the next time you should go Glenmarie instead, better discounts.

Ya Glenmarie would have been better, but I was thinking since my car broke down in Jln Imbi KL, so nearest will be Chan Sow Lin. The careline also by default shot the job to CSL. I bought my car from the place n did my service there, so it is easier to deal with the same service maneger which i have met last time

It also is nearest to my KL office, so not going to mull over the RM30 difference. Anyway 3008 Turbo service profit margin may be higher than my 408NA, as such, less discount for my case may be.

Hi All, collected my car, and yes the new battery is Delkor DIN60L (price mentioned in invoice at RM455) but of coz, FOC for me as still under warranty (my mileage was just about 11,000 km only, car is mere 5 months plus old)

I asked what is the original battery, is it Yokohama? they say no it is a Peugeot ori battery, a brand called FIAM

The service manager say it will be 50% discount on labour cost for me for the next service at 20k km. (so in value will be M60 as they charge RM120 for labour there), i wrongly heard he will give RM50 as discount over the phone this morning.

So, fully.imported car may not be a good thing too.albert from peugeot france. First batch of 408 may not be fully assembled in MY.

Can we see the brand without opening any cover?

Btw, m now at sierraglow waiting my car to be pampered..mr choong agreed to touch up my car for the coating I did few months back. Happy with his customer service. Will monitor the coating effect for few months from now.

Jus checked, cant c the brand of the battery installed as it is fully covered. A little worry as car has been running for 6minths at 14500km so far.
*
Why not just drop in to any SC saying I worry about my battery, can check what brand and how healthy , it is , just say you have 3 frens that has incidents of battery just went dead after 10,000 km.

If they say u need to pay for labour, you argue back u are trying to save them a battery. Any way under warranty period mah.

I came back to SC before on two other occasions asking them to check the ventilation system as i can faintky smell the far fume from outside, they check and tightened something and It was FOC.

Another occasion, I have sent back the car due to squeky door, and they fix it also FOC

Thinking back hard if any sign of weak bat was showing, i can only think of 2 occasions of small oddities

There was 1 time the car did not unlock when i press the unlock button, but I thought it was just me pointing the key remote wrong way, that happen may be a week or two back

2nd time , when i start ignition in the morning without pressing the accelerator, it did not ignite , but doing it again shortly, it started like normal, that happened few days before my car broke down

But I could be paranoid now because things behave pretty normal aside those 2 occasions, to be safe may be watch out for these tell tell signs?

Also do what SKYjack suggest, run your car for a 1 hour straight trip on highways, but then again I was driving up to Ipoh to n fo on 1st march, so who knows ?

Mine RM100 petrol for 400km. Grr. Find out that this car drain petrol when jam.  hmm.gif

By the way, my door didn't auto lock. Anyone?

Try press n hold the auto lock button until your display say auto lock activated. You may have deactivated it by doing the same without knowing it

The button is located in central console, third button from the left along same row with other buttons of fuel cap opening, reverse sensor, etc.

If this fail, visit the SC they will reset it for u

Current consumption at about 3k km is 1/8th tank left litres for 540 km. A lot of conservative highway driving on the skve and the ldp.

Also whats the general consensus? Leave the usb or take it out?
*
Come to think if it , I did pull out my USB but put it back few days before the bat went dead on me. So better don't touch it?

After I read your post, I check my USB drive when reach home this evening. I switched off the engine and open the centre console to check my USB. I observed from outside and my USB drive still lighted. So I took it off.

2 hours later when I try to start the engine, it won't start. Wipers move half way n all light indicators went off. So, sudah kena lah..

Called toll free number and the guy told me that the battery in Cheras area is out of stock. So I have to wait until tomorrow morning for the battery to be replaced. They will send from Balakong SC. Luckily it happened at my house.

I bought mine in June 2012 and my mileage is 17K. Long distance travel once a month to my hometown in Labis. The rest, city driving.

Now I regret taken out my USB drive. Should leave it there. So, early owners, brace yourself..

@EnergyAnalyst - I assume you use this moniker because you are involved in the power or energy business and have to deal with watts, kW, ampere calculation in some way or some capacity. Can you calculate how long it would take a battery to drain with the technical information given below, knowing that charging an iphone uses about 2 amps?

Hahaha, while energy is my biz, I am analyzing and advising more of macro level energy procurement strategy rather than this kind of micro level stuff, What you have suggsted there is like asking your CFO to check calculation of a telephone bill call charges accuracy.

Wrong skillsets match (and Overqualified , should I say) but also not interested.

Still on the crusade of waking up to Toyota fanboys?

Just curious, any reason you have chosen Peugeot 407 over Kia Optima or Hyundai Sonata to illustrate your argument over Toyota Camry?

Now as you mentioned, I did the same thing before the battery went dead.. I pulled out my USB stick a day before it happened. I left it stick on all this while..

@Jessyeo, did you mess with the USB stick? if you did, that will make a very concrete case with net_mave, prody, myself and orangbiasa?

So it is still inconclusive , fret not, I believe in DELKOR, see the link of DELKOR

http://www.delkor.com/language/eng/company/delkoris.asp

first few lines says:

Delkor, a leading battery manufacturer, was founded in October 1985 in association with the prominent automotive company, GM. Upon the production of the calcium MF battery in 1987, Delkor became the battery supplier for domestic automobile companies (Daewoo, Kia, Hyundai, Ssangyong), as well automobile manufacturers in Japan (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Isuzu, Daihatsu)

Hate to admit it, but if it comes to even the japs use them, they should be reliable.

Would some one use a torch light and look and see if it is blocked, becuase comparing the picture on the brochure and the picture of real case, the logo ngma ngam kena blocked.

But if don't want to bother , nvm then
