Help needed here.

I m in the dilemma of choosing insurance companies for my 408t.

insured amount suggested to me was rm105k.
wimdscreen rm3000.

now, etiqa, tokyo mRine, kurnia (fisrt yr under kurnia), or any better insurance company I can choose?

As peugeot insist owner to bring in their cars to peugeot centre for repair. I am wondering which insurance company would be hassle free to choose given the criteria of sending my car to SC is compulsory.

Appreciate your help.

thanks.

I m not sure abt that, anyone could verify?

Collected my car yesterday.  Acceleration was superb, not as sluggish as before eventhough turbo boost was considered functioning then.

total cost is rm145000. I wonder why so expensive as they just change this. (Attached photo). Ans some gssket and labour cost.

meanwhile, I strongly suggest you all to check ur turbo. It may still function but compression is not enough. That was what I felt and semt to SC for checking.

I feel like organise a day trip to genting highland. Anyone?

Hi guys,

I'm a proud owner 408 NA. Just got it less than a month. Glad to join this forum.

FYI, already done with my 2500 first inspection in Puchong service center. I had lost of power on my car. Couldn't go up Genting smoothly. Complained to the SC and they replaced my battery. Now, performance back to normal. Didn't take long to get my car done. Roughly about 1hr 15 mins. Glad it was quite fast. So far, service seems OK in Puchong service center. Let's wait and see on my first service

S mode actually doesn't increase the hp. It play with ur gear ratio and RPM. While activating S Mode, ur RPM will stay at higher ratio and ur gear tend to only shift to another higher gear at higher RPM.
You will notice usually gear change at around 3K RPM, but in S mode, gear change at 5K to 6K RPM.
Activating S mode, ur car is always at a lower gear, higher RPM. The power is always there, save the time to drag the RPM. Thus you can accelerate faster.
IMHO, S mode is useless at high way drive, as you don't need the sudden pick up. But this is quite usefull in one lane road that you always need to overtake others cars.

Glad you asked this question. I did a fair bit of research before deciding to buy the 408t. Actually it's not the turbo,but rather the engine itself.

All direct injection engines suffer from premature carbon buildup. Many of the early 308t suffer from this problem badly. As a result several measures have been adopted to combat this problem. One of the measures is to run the car at speeds above 110kmh periodically.

The Prince engine on our 408t carries 8 mods addressing reliability issues. This engine/gearbox is proving reliable and not exhibiting problems faced by early pugs. Nevertheless I can't resist the temptation of unleashing my Lion every chance I get! I won't say you have to run this car fast,but i seriously doubt if you can resist the addiction.

There's lots of information on the net about carbon buildup problem on direct injection engines. Just Google it. Sorry bro I didn't save any of it,so don't have the reference.

I did make a note of the mods on the EP6CDTM,which is the engine on the 408t,here it is:

1) Engine tuned to run on RON 87 petrol
2) Remapped ECU
3) New designed piston with lower compression
4) New designed catalyzer
5) New engine oil filter housing with heat exchanger
6) New turbo charger
7) New fuel tank gauge unit with lower pressure pump to handle lower grade petrol.
8) A fuel filter to cater for hash atmospheric condition ( third world country)
Bro lowpro,here I go again,spreading the good word!

Tyre puncture just now. Our car is too heavy that it will cut the tyre while puncture. Need to change new tyre. What a bad day for me!

hmm... hopefully miracle will happen before i send my lion for 1st inspection..
This car is freaking awesome! Its so torturing to drive slow with this turbo engine! How i wish every highway is DUKE!!! wahahah!! 

Driver a turbo car doesn't gives you the right to drive like a sakai and start tailgating. 
and some are so damn proud of it.    :x

Here's the photo

I use shell... 95... sometimes 97...

If 408T come and tailgate me, I will smoke them lol

My max speed so far only 170kph, for few seconds

After searching thru the web and this thread, found that most dealers offer rm8-9k discount, but a couple can offer rm12-15k off. Wonder why the differences? Pre-owned, 2012-made, showroom unit or problem unit? For me still haven't got thru the lack of confidence in Pug SC and after-sales support(as what sctang408t has gone thru) eventhough I like the car's interior and handling (to me better than d-seg cars like teana, sonata and accord)

I saw griffe on the road. It looks so good.

408t is like naughty old uncle and 308 Griffe is like young naughty
