If you dismantle the engine to do the decarbo, will it void the warranty?

Regarding your service frequencies, must it be every 6 months?
What if you take 9 months to drive 10,000kms?

1. Price, if i got money sure will pick 508 over 408.

2. Yes, 6k discount. Being told by SA today last day to get 6k discount for 508T. Still too much for me to spend on a car

Overall to me, 508 is a better car, just that i can only afford 408 at the moment..Felt 508 under power, where having no such with 408 driving..i guess the 508 bodyweight does make the difference

When you buy a car you have to look beyond the monthly installment and petrol.

You also need to budget for regular maintenance and also have spare cash for unplanned maintenance.

This is especially true when buying a European brand car.

Do you also have a backup car?

It is strange how this discount is derived by Peugeot. When I was there at the 3S (claimed 4S but more like 4S ready) centre last week 15th Feb. I was told the discount for 3008 is RM5k.... so 8k for 408, 6k for 508? It does not coincides with price level of the models.
Peugeot has overstocked 408.
Higher discounts to clear it.

Yes, I experienced that and agree with that. Everytime after I open the boot after car wash, I would need to wipe off the water on the cover quickly before dropped into my boot.

Yup it is a design flaw.
It happens on my Citroen too.

Question for those of you on 6 speed auto with 1.6L THP engine

If you slow down to a stop by lifting your foot off the pedal, does the car jerk like a galloping horse at around 40-30 kph?
Assuming you don't step on the brakes.

I guessing it is because the RPM is dropping too low and the gear has not dropped low enough to match.

I am very pleased with this Aisin 6spd gb.  Upshifts and downshifts have been quite smooth. I usually lift my foot off the pedal and gentle brake application. I've not experienced the galloping horse,did notice a slight jerk,but only very few times.If it's harsh as a galloping horse,then you should check it out with SC.

ok ok perhaps it wasn't galloping like a horse tongue.gif
