QUOTE(julchin_09 @ Jul 22 2014, 02:52 PM) Hi 208 owners. Here's one thing I need you guys to confirm on. Whenever I leave my car overnight and turn on the engine the next day, I feel my engine is noisier than usual and upon pressing the accelerator, I hear like additional noise that I would expect out of a diesel car. Do you guys experience this? I have enquired with the Peugeot SC but I'm not too happy with their explanation. They tell me that due to the car being idle for a long time, the engine oil level had decreased and due to the oil not fully covereing the engine parts, the noise is more. Hope you 208 owners can advise...  as I initially wanted to lodge a complaint. normal bro..dun worry |

My only concern is that when you start in the early morning and you press the accelerator, even if lightly, you will hear like something is loose in the exhaust. Then after you drive for 1 minute the sound goes away.  |

Peugeot technician spoke to me as I questioned why a car company would.build a engine that would be like this? He says it affects other Peugeot models like 408,2008 etc. Sigh... Even though its there only for a short while you kinda question the engine a bit. No other explanation provided save just explaning that apparently engine.oil levels drop thus producing the noise after being.off overnight |

Hope you 208 owners can advise... as I initially wanted to lodge a complaint. If low oil level is the cause of the noise, than after startup the level will drop further since oil is pumped into the engine. The noise should be more! Hehehe.....their answer makes me laugh la! The reason for the noise during 1st start is due to timing chain being dry. Overnight the oil would have drained off to the sump and is a little noisy during 1st startup. After start, in a short while timing chain gets oiled and the noise disappears. This post has been edited by SKYjack: Aug 30 2014, 08:30 PM |

I was driving yesterday then suddenly I got the "Temperature Gauge Error ". I looked at the gauge and it went to the MAX redline. Immediately stopped at side of the road and turn off engine. Engine went off but fan still ran a good 2 mins then I turned back on again. Back to normal.
Anyone experienced this?

Coolant temperature sensor may be faulty. ECU uses this feedback for various engine operation status. It is a crucial signal for optimum engine. |
