maybe cause by the carbon build up?

Hi...sorry...off topic... i'm proud to be 408 owner...hihihi

Full tank 60L, the signal shows "-- --" when the remaining mileage lower than certain KM, maybe 50KM?

The warning comes in when back up petrol kick in.
Full tank 60L, including 7L reserved petrol.
So it will agak agak warning when 53L petrol used up, but not exactly ngam ngam de.

wow! nice shirt.

Bro, IMO it is not an ECU problem. It is probably one or more sensor malfunction. The malfunction appears intermittent,which is a signal for an impending failure. It can fail anytime anywhere,and the ECU may stop functioning. Which means your engine shuts down and you'll probably not be able to start it.

I would rather have it fixed before a long journey. If you want to take the chance,you can always call up Peugeot careline. Only trouble is, alot of inconvenience. Day travel would be better!

Just discussed with supplier, hes kind enough to reduce the headcount to 20 and so we sre indeed nt far away? Anyone else, installation will b as easy as clip on, thanks again

Just came back from muar. No loss of power for 500km distance. I have made an appointment with glenmarie center.hope they could find out the problem.

Few more things noticed today.
1. When I m tuening steering wheel, I can feel somerhing is losen. (Its like a "click").

Joeaggas, I m aware of turbo lag whenever I try to accelerate or coming out from a corner.it happens when i switch from brake pedal to petrol pedal after slow down. But this loss of power is happening whike I m cruising without trying to accelerate suddenly.

Tq...it using black flock vinyl (baldu)...own design

termibait. i hope peugeot glenmarie will solve your problem. steering loose is a new problem as far as this forum is concern. hope this is just a rare coincidence.

Pug7980,I havenr heard anyone complain about steering loose in foeum yet.was there any?

Any recommendation for best SC in KL to do 1st inspection at 2500km? Thanks.

Good to be reading all the experiences. Although I have to say that you guys are very active. Or is it that this is normal for a forum and that I am too slow??? . Anyway, just to share my 20k service with you guys. I made an appointment at the Kota Damansara since the Glenmarie SC is totally booked for at least 3 weeks. Btw, I did the service last two weeks. And I came with a few complaints and things to check after reading about a few worrying things here:

1. the wind noise at the driver side at 100km/h
2. the fuel cap wont open unless i give the cap a "slap"
3. battery check
4. tyre rotation
5. check the knocking sound in the morning

I sent the car on Thursday morning for them to check the whole thing. Got it back in the evening. They said they settled everything, but I got the car back still with all the problems except for the battery, they said its healthy. And worse, the cap wont open at all unless i use a card to pry open the cap. And during corner, I could hear some rattling sound, as if something is loose at the wheel. I was still not mad, yet. So we went back on Thursday and told them to recheck and left the car overnight so that they also can inspect the knocking sound. So, the engine knocking only sounded for a few minutes after starting and switching on the aircond. If I do not switch on the aircond, there wont be any knocking sound. So the SA said its normal. I chose to believe him . And the rattling sound during corner was due to some loose nuts after they did the rotation, which they didnt bother to properly check. They tightened whatever they were supposed to and no more sound after than. So we took the car back on Friday evening and being oblivious, we forgot to check the fuel cap. Once we reached home, pressed the fuel cap button and it opened, but it wont close this time. Why? The bracket thingy disappeared inside!!! By then, my wife was already pissed off. We called and arrange to send the car on Saturday. My missus insisted on getting a replacement car which at first they said the repair should only take 10 minutes. But then, they couldnt confirm it will take 10 minutes and start giving excuse that they dont have any car to give and bla bla bla. My missus didnt give a chance and said if on Saturday we come, and it will take more than 10 minutes, they better give the car or else!!! So on Saturday, I went over to send my car and without saying anything, they handed me a car key to another 408na. It was the test drive car. Hahaha, I guess they got scared and didnt even bother to explain how long it will take. So did some errand and took the car back in the evening. So, until now, everything is fine.

Good thing that the SC was not packed with cars. Hardly any cars actually.

p/s I went to check the peugeot 208 and really loved it. The question is, will I be considered crazy to be getting another pug????

And I do apologize for rambling ... hehehe

Termibait, so far the steering problem i read from your report.
This is bad aftet reading imifun posting. Ate we expected to experience all these trouble when we own a pug. Having 2nd thoughts now as i am planning to pay for my downpayment today. If like this must got a spare car la in case my ride need to overnight at sc. really i m having 2nd thoughts.

Imifun, do you still experience the knocking sound every morning?

No such thing as a perfect car. But if you plan on owning continentals, then you must be prepared to deal with whatever problems that's associated with owning one. The problems highlighted so far are still considered isolated cases, that means the chances of you ending up with a problematic car is close to zero. I wouldn't worry too much about it, but if peace of mind is what you are after instead of worrying day in and out about reliability, then I suggest you go Japanese instead.

Pug7980, I still do. Although I was told it is normal, I am kinda dissatisfied that they were not able to give a solid answer. Been googling around, still no answer.

Thanks zmweinkk for you insight.

it is zweimmk, pug7980.

I said this before and say it again, pug or other conti (VW, Ford, etc. etc.) is not meant for faint hearted. If you do not have what it takes to own one, well don't - u don't have to.

I will say this just to add, despite all the potential hiccups here and there. Given a choice, I would not trade in the experience of owning one pug or vw or even ford for the prospect of travelling the safer route.

You can read here how some owner despite tyre puncture, sweat and curse, still be able to laugh and joke a bout it (obvious enjoy the car ) albeit bitterweetly.

A conti car has characters, have some temperament, it is a bit like a beautiful girl fren, it will throws you tantrum sometime but in the end the reward is nice in a naughty way.
