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.

Yes.. This is happening to me as well. Thought of asking the SC during my next service.

The other day my car couldn't start.

Immediately suspected battery, there was not even enough power left to lock the car. At some point I did manage to unlock the booth.
Lucky it happened at home.

Anyway, car got towed to nearest service centre, battery was replaced within a day.

It happened to my 408 too on Monday.. The battery went bad at 13K (6 months) on mileage without indications. Called the Peugeot road side assistance and they arrange for battery replacement on the spot, no need towing.

According to the technician, it was due to the batch of battery used in our car (Yokohama). They have changed it to Delco battery where they claimed much better and no complain so far.

Come to think if it , I did pull out my USB but put it back few days before the bat went dead on me. So better don't touch it?

Now as you mentioned, I did the same thing before the battery went dead.. I pulled out my USB stick a day before it happened. I left it stick on all this while..

Just gotten the service order and it seems they have a recall to do. Before I could ask the sa what is it, she answered dont know. Pandai betul...

Nasim Balakong told me the recall is actually to tighten all the screws at door panel.

Seriously,, how many who are affected by the steering whizzing sound got it fixed? And at which SC?
I've made a few complaints at Balakong SC (3 times) and CSL (1 time) but it was never fixed. Finally, they told me it's like that due to the electronic steering. I'm kind of skeptical of their saying.

Steering sound is 'normal' as what SC said.. Until now i still can hear but just ignored it..

Am going for 10k service.. Which SC is better? BALAKONG or CSL?
*
I've tried 3 diff SC at CSL, Balakong and Volcare. Balakong is my preferred SC.
At least they took the effort to check into the complaints and try to fix it whenever it's possible but not with the other 2 where they will just take note but ignore it later. Purely based on my personal experience.

The best is Volcare where the technician told me.. "Where go sound?"..

The temperature meter of my 408T was swinging like a metronome before hitting the red bar and shown with the STOP warning.. This happened without any warning while driving on KL street 3 days ago.

It was towed to SC and I received a call today that the temperature sensor (thermostat) was faulty. Bad news is they don't have the part available. Shipment from France which only arriving on 20th Aug. :-(

I service for 10,000 1 month ago. Two days ago the coolant water at minima level. I have top up the water.

Then today water level low again. But the CSL sc did check and said thermostat, water pump and the tank is ok. No leakage.

This happened to me before. I've to top up the water every 2-3 days whenever the "water level low" sign popped up.
I sent it to SC and they changed the water pump for me. Now waiting for shipment of thermostat.
