The pulling you said is due to downshift of gears. The engine now slows car down. This is a safety effect. You will feel this more on the Pug than Focus cos the Pug engine is more powerful.

Bro barkutt3h also. Any idea of launch date?

This new model seems to a winner for Peugeot,selling very well in Europe. I'm a little skeptical on very high reliance on electronics. Will our SC be able to handle issues??? Are local service personal adequately trained???

I am still keen on this car,but only if I can find independent specialist!

Yes this the exact car. Europe got various engine options. We will get the proven and reliable 163THP. I would like the 1.6 turbo diesel, don't think we'll see this in Malaysia,too pricey.

Nasa achieved positive test results on Hybrid turbo diesels on Malaysian diesel fuel. Nasa is planning to offer this engine options on Pugs, not sure if 308 is on the list.

Ooooou that one is sweeeet la bro! BlueHDi engine putting out 370nm. Sadly I don't think we'll see this in Malaysia. It will definitely cost more than Altis/Civic. Maybe around $160K

That's right, 163hp. The T indicates it's turbo engine. All 1.6 turbo petrol engines on Pug/Citroen sedans now are this 163THP. All the bugs on Prince engine has been fix and this engine is proving very reliable.

I may be wrong, but I think the 308GT did not sell well. So I doubt if Nasa will go that road. Even the 1.6 turbo petrol 308 will sell at 130K. Perhaps Nasa will see how well this car sells here,then decide is the BlueHDi is worth bringing here!

I too very keen on the BlueHDi, but 160K, will have to think twice. Well out of my budget! We'll most likely see hybrid turbo diesel engines. I believe tax intensives make this engine an attractive option.

Europe has a few engine options for the new 308. My favorite is the Blue HDi, 2 liter turbo diesel,150hp 370nm. Unfortunately we'll not see this here in Malaysia. Due to tax, this will be too pricey for the average Malaysian. We are stuck with 163THP!

Anyway this prince carries 8 mods which has sorted out all the previous bugs. This engine with the 6spd Aisin GB has become a very reliable combo.

I think if Nasa can price around 120K, it;s going to sell like hot cakes. What it offers is years ahead of any rival.

If your is 140THP engine, then no value la. If 156THP, 6spd gb, still can sell. Most problems on original Prince has been solved. Price may be low,my advice still sell.

The new 308 will come with 163THP. All bugs on Prince has been solved and this engine has proved reliable. Ask any 408t owner,1st Pug to be fitted with 163THP,no engine complaints. Mine coming up to 3 years,still healthy roar from my Lion! Same response from owners at 408 club.

True, with horrendous KL/PJ traffic! But i'll be very surprised if auto gb is left out.

Did you manage to claim on all of these?How old is your car?

Yes that's about the value for 308s. The reason is the car has a lot of electronics, and after 5 years some of the electronics need to be changed. Btw all modern cars are filled with electronics. 5 years +/-, is the general life span, no matter which brand, including Merc!

If you like the car, go for it.Go for the 6sp gb. These have re tuned engine with less issues. DO NOT take it to Peugeot SC to fix anything! DO NOT buy any spare parts from Naza/Nassim ( Authorised Peugeot Dealers ). People often do this and come away paying hefty bills and then claim Peugeot maintenance is high. That is the main reason the 2nd hand value of Peugeot is low.

1. Source around for Peugeot independent workshops. There are a few now in the Klang Valley.
2. Buy spares from spare part shops. There are a few in the Klang Valley.

Last of all, you must understand, this is Peugeot, which means she'll need special attention, and she'll run fine. If you are not prepared for this, then I suggest get a Perodua and it will be a work horse. But what a dull life it will be!

Cost a bomb at Naza. Less than RM2K if you buy online,including postage. Btw, any car, turbo will cost a bomb at authorized dealers.

Bro clivengu,good to hear all the problems in your car are fixed. Appreciate if you could post the mechanic's contact.Tq

From what I've researched the facelift 408 will come with EP6FDTM, 165hp/240nm,15hp higher than the facelift308.These are Euro 6 engines with better fc and emission standards. But of course with our dirty fuel we may not get full benefits of this engine.

GB is updated, still 6spd. Aisin GB is silky smooth but looses on performance to a dual clutch. The consolation is high reliability. Interior will have the 308touch screen.

My Preface-lift 408t is 163hp. I've take it up to 200kph. The speed rise is leaner and car is stable. I suppose the facelift 308 will also perform the same. Although hp may a bit less than mine but the car is 140kgs lighter.

If you are into sporty driving than get the 308gti. 208hp/300+nm

Is your engine ep6cdtm or ep6fdtm?

Previous Prince engines suffered heavily on premature carbon build up & other issues. Ep6cdtm was introduced with 8 modifications, addressing all reliability issues. Ep6fdtm has further refinements to improve fc & emissions standards.

As both of you are interested in this car let me give my views. I own a 408thp, which has similar engine. This my 6th year & enjoyed the car very much. Although a sedan, it has exceptional handling & good power. 308 being a hatchback should be even more fun to drive!

However, no car is perfect. There will always be some issue. Present version of Prince engines are reliable, unlike the older ones which were problematic. I have had small issues and all were successfully fixed by SC warranty. SC are now more familiar with Pugs & do a reasonable job. There are now many Peugeot workshops in Kling Valley for after warranty. Spare parts are reasonable from spare part shops. However you must be prepared for slightly higher maintenance cost on long run due to high performance engine. This is the same on all contis.

Valve cover cost only $600 from Peugeot spare part shop. Labour charges are about $100. But you can just buy the 0 rings & gasket for around $250.

The leak is due to 0 rings getting brittle over time. If these 0 rings are not fitted properly, it will leak.
