Keep up the pressure bro. I know this is hard,but try not to get emotional,on the long run best to be professional. I'm pretty sure your car will be fixed. I know worst cases,like a faulty gb by the 1st week. The car was fixed,but with a time factor. I'm not going to state the time to depress you further ,but rest assure,your problem will be solved.

The delay may not be totally due to Nassim. A good share of it is by Peugeot. I say this from my experience with Airbus Industry. We have found it extremely difficult to deal with the French when it comes to support and spares. There's always a breakdown in communication and tempers fly. I've found it helps to keep calm and professional.

Best of luck buddy!

Getting sentimental with age!

Here's something for ppl who feel only Pugs have battery problems!

Hi,

Anyone can help? My K5 almost 1 year old and mileage more then 40K. Yesterday my car battery KO. Im thought i can claim as in warranty as it yet 1 year old. Refer back to the Services Booklet. It mentioned 6 months or 20K or which ever come 1st. The battery cost me RM565.00

Anyone got same experience with me and able to do it as In Warranty claim?

Please help and advice.

Thanks
Poor K5 Driver.

Yup,K5 car club thread!

I feel this car needs a higher capacity battery,mainly cos of the electronics. My last car,BMW E39,the maintenance free battery lasted 5 years. However I must also say it was a larger capacity battery and cost 1K.

Yup

Like EP6CDTM said,this is a bigger battery and will not fit. More importantly will void warranty.

Hi Kiamson
The bumpy ride you experienced is normal for the 408t on hwy that is undulating. 408t has a sports tuned suspension with a rigid chassis. This combination provides excellent handling. You'll be very pleased to drive this car around twisty roads,it hugs the road like a lizard. However this setup is a bit harsh on potholes as it does not absorb the shocks that well and gets bumpy on roads that are not very level. You can reduce the bumpy effect by reducing tyre pressure,changing to normal profile tyres and also changing shock absorbers and springs. Any change you do will be at the expense of handling.

Your Camry has a soft suspension and chassis setup. This setup absorbs shocks well,therefore more comfortable and less bumpy. However handling will be like a sampan,rocking side to side on twisty roads.

I was initially concerned about the bumpy ride on our Pug. With AES now in force,I tend to drive slower. Below 130kmh the car rides fine. When I'm in the mood,I take LEKAS. Done 200kmh,smooth and rock steady. Up north is also good. South from KL the hwy is not very good for high speeds.

Have a good day and enjoy your Lion!

A true lion tamer!

Absolutely true,and that's why I stated some hwys you can do high speed so that you are not disappointed with the car. Try twisty roads,you'll forget it's a sedan. Lot more fun than straight out high speeds! Requires quite a bit driving skill too!

Wow really surprised you have 13 items. Do give a run down and if they were fixed.

FC will improve as your engine beds in. KL city driving is a lot of jams,I don't know if you'll get down to 9L/100km even light footed! I'm not exactly heavy or light footed,my FC is 9.6L/100KM city and 9.2L/100KM urban.Not the best FC and others do better. I guess it's all about driving styles.

However, the car is such a joy that it's really hard to be light footed. We have a few heavy foot champs here with 12L/100km,city driving!

I too was getting about your FC initially. FC began to improve after 6K - 7K. The 10K service is important as the engine oil is changed. After this service FC will be constant depending on your driving style.

30K within a few months. Your Lion is on the run quite a bit! How has your experience with the car been?

What is the Premium for $110K without NCD?

Inc Co are thieves la. They insist on $123K to earn higher premium. When it come to claims,they will not accept $123K,will insist on market value which is probably $110K! This time it's for us to press for market value!

Tks for the tip,bro.

308t is a sexy hot hatchback with good performance.

408t carries the most advanced engine on the 240NM Prince/platform. FYI,8 mods were carried out addressing reliability issues faced by earlier 1.6t. List of mods is at pg 1 of this thread. This version of engine with 6spd Aisin gb is proving to be very reliable. If you read this and the earlier 408 thread,if not mistaken,there's no engine of gb complaints from the 408t owners!

I'm one of the very early owners.Booked this car the day Naza opened the doors on the 408. A year now of ownership,no complaints and my Lion roars healthy as ever!

Tks for feedback!

Hi
I'm one of the early owners of the 408t. It is spacious for all the family needs and has adequate power for my needs.I've had more than a dozen cars,the handling on this car is easily the best,levels above! I particularly like the steering feel and feedback. This was a big plus that attracted me to this car. I'm not a speed freak,but a car that handles twisty roads well with good steering feedback is a must for me. IMO the steering feedback is more precise that the BMW F30 which I recently tested.

At launch of the car,there was no option for GPS, which was a big disappointment. After market GPS probably cost half the price quoted by Nassim,but that will void car warranty. I guess if you really want it,go for the Nassim option GPS.
