thanks bro kenso for creating the service price list.

http://www.kensomuse.com/wp-content/upload...servicing-1.pdf

2.0 10k service at CSL Sg Besi.
RM307.70 including free wash. Labour is FOC.
-Syntium 1000 API SM SAE 15W/50 (4X4LTR) RM196
-Syntium 1000 API SM SAE 15W/50 (16X1LTR) RM54.50
-Oil filter RM44.30
-Seal RM5.90

Check and refit battery is FOC. But normally chargeable at RM180.

My Honda City 5000 service cheapest at 250 - 300. So 10k service for Peugeot is not expensive at all.

if i remember correctly, someone actually created a table of 100000kms servicing pricing on the net for Malaysia.

Peugeot, VW and other continental brands are actually on par.

"Expensive" can be very subjective when we're driving a 100 sensor cars compared to a basic fuel injection japanese car.

If we're comparing Pug with Lexus, then you'll see how "cheap" the cost will be for an apple to apple comparison in term of engine complexity.

i was told the major service cost for a japanese class c is now touching 2k+

all hearsay, i may be wrong.

but i do agree SCs are overcharging no matter which brand in Malaysia.

Full-sync are costing them RM140ish but we need to pay full RRP

Hi zweimmk,

No offense but it will be better if you could state or show some prove of the charges mentioned by you. For fully synthetic oil, price differs by brand and when was it changed? Price has gone up a lot nowadays. And by mentioned fully synthetic oil, the type of oil and the grade makes a big price difference too even it is categorized as fully synthetic.

Just mentioned a price rm170 is not enough. Make a full list of price charged for 5 years or 100k km will be more convincing.. And, may I know the civic hybrid is 10k per service or 5k? With this, we all will know how much it cost to maintain Japanese famous car such as civic, Korean forte, vw Jetta, Peugeot 408. For me, it's better to compare cars within same class, engine type(turbo or n/a).

from what I see here, it is still hearsay with some giving his/her inputs based on limited knowledge and din make the effort to back up his/her claims.

Regards

i found this

http://www.hzncars.com.my/Civic/Maintenance.html

maybe outdated

but looking at 5k service internal (5k + 10k) it will cost more than pug!

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

But i wonder why till today i dont see many 408's on the road. I see much more Forte, Elantra, Civic and Camry. The new Ford Focus is worse. So far i think ive only see about 5 since the launch. But im seeing more and more K5 on the road. But the biggest increase i think is VW. Quite a number of Polo and Golf on the roads now especially after the last promo.

Btw, i drive around KL and Ipoh quite alot covering about 3500km a month.

Car manufacturers make money through sales. The higher the sales, the higher the profits. Simple theory no matter how you define it. Peugeot isnt Ferrari or Porsche where sale figures arent expected to be high. Nobody expected the 408 to match the Japs e.g Civic, Altis, etc but at least i would have expected them to do better than the Koreans at least.  Although i dont know official figures but considering the amount of driving im doing per month, ive seen more Elantra's on the road compared to the 408. Even the old Forte seems to be outselling the other non Jap/ Proton makes by a wide margin i think. The 408T is a good car with decent specs and powerful engine yet it isnt selling all that well. Not really sure what that guy meant by 'quality of the French cars' as Peugeot surely isnt known for its quality the same as the Koreans.

Nasim should relook their strategy. Maybe throw in more promos, more road shows, offer better discounts, do more adverts, etc to boost their brand image. Peugeot is similar to Kia when it comes to brand image. Both brands suffered because of poor offerings in the past but compared to Kia, Peugeot doesnt seem to be doing much to improve their brand image.

Personally i would like to see more Peugeot's on the road due to my family's history with the brand. The 508 is a welcome sight compared to the waves of Camry's. But i dont see how Peugeot is gonna fare this year with the 2014 Honda Accord and Toyota Altis due for launch later this year. Not to mention the new Kia Forte K3.

All in all, i think 2013 is gonna be an exciting year for the automotive industry in Malaysia. 

i salute you energyanalyst. this is by far the best one....

i love my 408

it has the best seat compared to jetta, forte, focus, civic, altis, elantra

and yes, i've tested all of them.

fengsui master? Oh tidak sama sekali,   
my kungfu so far is only with playing with words, actually still practising before can become master

Happy Lunar New year to you too...

Fat Bonus? Adalah sikit sikit, 5 figures, so am not complaining. One needs to count his /her blessings nowadays these days.

Practise some more, sure, but need your help though, pratise needs dummies like the Shaolin Wooden Men and if you can provide, sure I will practise until achieve mastery.

Note: I am not implying dummies as in referring to one's IQ, but dummies as in Crash test dummies, hope you get the picture...

My experience with 408 NA? Well I have to humbly admit I've just owned the car since late Sept/early Oct 2012, so to me, it is too soon (afterall it has just been a couple of months, and i am not even reaching 10,000 km mileage yet) to boastfully say I know it all Mister unlike some cocky fellows who don't even own the car and claim as if they know it better) but so far so good, it meets all my expectations and pleasantly surprises me in some area.

Why do you want to know from me alone? I am no different from other owners and you can read what they have written here especially all my taikos and taije who owns it since May 2012 or not so later.

But i am curious why? want to ditch the Passat and get a 408 and join us? 

then he can really compare, good idea!

Is FC your question? well , if you have read it all up here in this thread (which you should) FC will improve after 10,000 km service according to my fellow owners here, i have not done my 10,000 km service so i will tell you once i have crossed that line, hence you need to patiently wait. Currently my FC is ok but not great but i expect that to happen simply becoz i opted for 2.0NA engine , surely it cannot match Prince 1.6 Turbo or Passat TSI engine lah.

There is really no competition here simply becoz you cannot compare an apple with an orange. Also, unlike you, I am not obsessed with FC. Call it personal choice call it whatever you want but I don't do what you do, i don't like what you like, but as far as what is common among owners here, we own a pug 408, and that is the link, so my facts is just as subjective as any, because I thought FC is a function to the driver individual habits, whether like to speed a lot or are as gentle as you should treat a lady, No?

Aiyo no free lunch lah bro if you don't help me with providing the dummies, then why should i help you with your FC research? issh!

our 408 is as huge or bigger than a 407

407 LHW = 4676mm x 1445mm x 1811mm
408 LHW = 4680mm x 1525mm x 1815mm

i did a comparison before i ordered

so anything lower than 10L/100kms is considered very good

if you're expecting FC of a vios or city, this car is definitely not for you.

agree 

fiesta has similar dimensions to the honda city and interior is so cramp and i hit my leg when i was checking it out at the showroom.

the older EW10 engines are very efficient. my colleague has a ulysse running at 8L/100kms for highways and 10-11L/100kms for town.

EW10A+ comes with VVT, it will be on par or even better i believe 

Today drive back to Kuantan with the new lion. The lion really roaring on the road. Easily touch the pedal and reach 170 and still smooth. At karak is very bouncy but after karak toll (after take the ticket), no more bouncy. Is due to road.

When I coming from behind, all the BMW, Mitsubishi have to give way, how nice the feel. Those day when I drove city, I have to give way. When after gambang toll and on the road lead to Kuantan, the power of overtaking zig zag is so nice feeling.

That is what I said no need to push your car to 225 to test the power. Just like when go up Genting and easily overtaking instead of everytime no power and have to goto side to give way to behind cars.
