Hi, I'm using 3M Crystalline with 4mil security tint. Pretty decent. But on those really hot days, the heat still can be felt. I was using Crystalline on my previous ride and if I'm not mistaken, those tints effectiveness does depends on the angle of sunshine. Hence, most effective from 12-2pm range. Correct me if am wrong though.

Does this even take into consideration of 5liters engine oil for Pugs ? Japs <= 2.0cc only 4liters max right?

Goodstuff! EW10 is on previous 407.

EW10+ on 408. Anything you've got on this? Best I've read is in Wikipedia..

Best Engine Award for 07,08 & 09.

Congrats joeaggas! Enjoy ur ride & certainly I'm sure Genting needs to be conquered! I did mine 2weeks thereafter

Btw, had read in earlier post by ano bro, on 408 aircond settings. Apparently the manual states the numericals doesn't equate to temperature& more like comfort setting. Hence, setting of 21 is not equivalent to 21celcius . I was earlier confused myself.

Since its brand new, do giv a check on your tyre pressure- could be as some bro described earlier as 'show room' pressure. Nevertheless, 408 T has firmer ride and the subtle bounciness only reflects that + irregularities on the road. My 408 NA's bounciness is there as well on higher speeds( more noticeable 140kmh up) but the softer setting does compensate it pretty well.

Good question RON408. I had same query myself earlier.
As on using Total, I am presuming it would be BAU as Total is France's national oil company rite?

So for Nasim to be using Petronas, BAU again lah ..hehe.

Anyhow ( touch wood), so far so good on Syntium

Talking on fuel, my 408NA had some 'hiccups' last 2weeks- this is just after 10k service.

My engine had behaved rather erratically ( rpm interval jumping within small band) and its just like hiccups- for lack of word to describe.

Traced back n thought it might be contaminated fuel +water. Didn't remember which station but my lion really felt like "mabuk on whiskey" Anyhow, only able to bring in for servicing 1week later to Balakong SC. Service is pretty good & had left my lion overnite. SC cleaned up
the spark plugs and run some diagnostics. Found out there is some sort of carbon built up. There is no sensor error or any detection earlier though. Cut short, lion is now healthy & running about. Service is FOC.

I was suspecting fuel contamination that leads to incomplete burning hence carbon built up on spark plugs.Just wanting to know if other puggies had same issue on NA b4 n same mabuk like characteristics?

Plus, BHP for my lion tak ngam lah. Dunno why but not as smooth. Had been using Petron. Possibly sensor adapted to regular fuel pumped?

Hopefully our dear friend here is not in wrong forum! You're driving hybrid issit??

Hehe, just teasing earlier bro. 308 owner ok lah.

Btw, spotted this in Petronas Station. Apparently Syntium has free gift promo ongoing. Is SC providing the same since they use Syntium also?

Good for u bro. I did my 408's 10k service in Balakong SC 2-3wks back but no free gift

Thanks Termibait & Jessyeo, wil try my luck hehe.

Jessyeo - Shampoo? No dandruf control for 408

Motion Emotion, Super LIKE! Welldone EnergyaAnalyst!

Here's wishing everyone a Happy CNY & ROARING successes this year!

May the Lion bring much Health, Wealth & Happiness to all the lion tamers!

Huat ah!

For me, I find the NA quite responsive and also powerful. There's a certain way to treat this Lion. No doubt, standstil to century mile is rather slow vs thp, but once exceeded 100kmh, the speed will rise like crazy baby!

I'm now in Pg btw ( happy CNY!) and speed all the way lah - 160-180kh very easily ( 3am -6am & don't worry on safety or comment bla bla ;p)
So make no mistake if u think NA lags those higher performance cars. Plus u can easily overtake lorries on the tap!

Talking about Batu Ferringhi, just passed thru today :- family went to new theme park, Escape in Teluk Bahang. NA handles well and absorbs the lubangs lubangs well.


BTW My wife also agrees that 408NA performs much better in highways. It really a cruiser if I can term it as such.

Anyhow, for me, I went for 2.0NA as I'm more comfortable with the proven reliability of EW10a+ ( previously award winning EW10a on 407) & the comfort suspension setting.

If youre in Klang Valley, I think Puchong should have both. You'l also hav a fair bit of highway( LDP to Kesas & back) plus all the lubang lubangs around Tesco Puchong area. I did my test drive & had booked there as well

Item 8 ;- doors are really heavy ( not to mention big!) I had my fair share of adoi moments on both front & rear doors! For my front doors, once i've open the doors, I will now hold the corner edge with my hand as I've always poke myself in the face whenever I want to go in. Silly me but ithappen quite a bit during 1st 2-3weeks. He he, the doors are pretty the solid I guess

You're right! Those adoi moments are mostly in between parkings where I can't open wide enough. On my car porch, its lovely lah. As on my earlier description on heavy door, I'm describing so as when it swings back unannounced, the door does push me back! Hehe
