QUOTE(lawrens @ May 6 2014, 10:56 PM) I get my 208 about a week. They ride is fun. fc is high at 7.5km/l. Engine is hot that I can feel it when I passby and the fan is "always" at full speed which create loud sound when I open Aircon. Third week using my car. I switch to Petronas as per recommended by my friend. The fc become 10km to 11km/l... Fan noise is loud only when theI think fc will be better after 1st service at 2500km according to sales advisor. My concern is the fan sound. Can I upgrade to full synthetic engine oil? Would it help to reduce engine heat as the sound is quite annoying. I accept if it only happen sometime but not all the time. Today I pick up my sis at her school, I turn off my Aircon because the constant noise make everyone look at me. According the the sales advisor, the fan have low, medium and high spend. It will automatic turn to high speed when we turn on Aircon. Does anyone experience the same too? car is stationary with Aircon turn on. Overall satisfy with the car. Anyone know where to get the ori rear spoiler? |

My little pug seems to be drinking fuel like mad. The trip monitor said it is 17.2l/km O.O I have only driven it to work and back (10 minutes away from home) and only went on the highway once when driving my new car home from the showroom. Mileage about 180km at the moment

QUOTE(addy @ Apr 10 2014, 10:17 AM) Dear all Bro, I'm considering to buy 208 but quite worry about the gearbox, bad experience of jerking issue as you mentioned above....ya, thinking to book the 208 5 door, also test drive already near Puchong branch, but normal driving also i can feel jerk a bit when it change gear from first gear to third gear, this really make me think twice whether to take Toyota Vios E spec or 208. Bro, you know why i think twice... because few year back that i go up genting on my friend car 206, when we going down hill almost reach police guard house, the car gear changing from 3rd to 2nd gear, then suddenly i feel..... chom...... chom....,, the engine suddenly die off just like that. ...... handling tighten slowly turn the car to the left.... and make me scared.... But i think that this 208 ,, the salesman told me is different gear box... i don't know.... In heart really feel like don';t care,,,just book it and try.... For April promotion is 1k ... and interest rate 2.7%,, and no more Ipad mini..... This post has been edited by tjhwa408: May 25 2014, 09:14 AM |

Hi all,
Just a warning to all of you who are thinking of getting a 208 GTi spec (and maybe all Peugeot niche models like the RCZ):- I had ordered a red GTi in late April and completed all necessary documentation and loan. In mid-May, I requested for change of colour to white and clearly asked that unit must be new unit and no display or demo stock. In late May, I was informed that a white GTi had been allocated. I was provided with a chassis number together with details on balance payments I need to make. That same week in May when my unit was confirmed, there was also a roadshow by Peugeot held in 1 Utama. Many models were displayed there including my white GTi. How I know this? Because I checked the chassis number that was allocated to me to the unit on display (door panel) and it matched! I took photo evidence of this and made a complaint to the dealer because I specifically said I don't want display or demo units. The worst part was that all the interior door panels were scratched from peoples shoes and can see little kids pulling and pushing everything including the moon roof cover. After a week of ding-dong, Nasim came back to say that they only willing to give a RM2,000 discount on the display unit allocated and polish the scratched panels (not even replace). No apologies given at all besides saying if want a new unit, wait another 4 months. I'm so disappointed with the manner in which Nasim handle their sales, especially for their premium and niche units that I immediatly cancelled the order. The worst part was that although they refunded my deposit, they "makan" for number plate and runner fees to purchase the number plate (which I cannot even use because of their bluffing and cheating ways). So a warning for everyone getting GTi or even RCZ units, better beware your car would have been molested by thousands of people in roadshows prior to delivery and complete lack of professionalism on Nasim's part. |

Whn I got my car, it came with no mats etc all bundled still I'm its packaging, seats all covered in plastic and basically everything else clean. Odometer registered 30km but Nasim salesman told me its because of roadtest so I thought makes sense. But exterior or car unferunately d roof, under light reveals hair thin scratches which made me question if mine is a display unit whig was wiped over and over again? I told salesman u better not be selling me a display unit. He reassured etc that its not. In hindsight as well I really needed a ride fast hence if time permitted I would probably do checks like you did. Only qc flaw I found out was the missing glove compartment air con valve which upon contacting my salesman, he nicked one for me from his display unit. Vicious cycle if that display was sold to someone else. Other than that no issue with the car and wrote to Peugeot to bring in Peugeot Apps and GPS for the 208 to which they called me and told me to stay tuned for updates and that if any available, they will contact all owners. |

Well, what I am worried is that it may seem like no problem on delivery, but all the fittings may become loose already from the thousands of people in 1 Utama that have opened and closed the glovebox and moonroof shades.
And once those things starting squeaking and making noise, we can just guess how many visits that will need to be made to the service centre to get them fixed or even replaced. When I brought this up, the dealer was just silent and kept repeating that they will do through PDI before delivery. Actually I wasn't even in a hurry. If they had told me from the beginning I need to wait, I wouldn't have mind. But since they can so happily provide display and demo units to customer without any conscience, I think better to take pass since no idea what other "creative" things they can do in the future. Just be careful la guys maybe even ask them to provide formal letter to confirm its not a demo unit (otherwise we should start collecting and taking note of all demo/display unit they use so future buyers can cross-ref |
