Hello, as the topic has already mentioned,

this topic is open to all Peugeot 208 owner, as i'm also one of it.
I'm currently driving a 3 doors 208, red colour.

btw i have a doubt regarding the signal side there,
there is button which you can press on the signal (left side) and wiper side (right ).

when you press the right side button, is to change the screen displayed near the meter gauge as well as the LCD screen,

but, how about the signal side button? is it i'm the only one who found this?



the picture above is just for highlighting purposes, not own by me and it's not the Malaysia version of 208

Well, any other who have questions about 208, please do not hesitate to comment

This is a beautiful car that i'm tempted to get also.
But i do have doubts, so if you don't mind, can you answer some of these question?
- How is the car so far?
- How long have you been driving it? How is the fc?
- Can you give us a review?

Since this is an owner thread, i guess answering these would benefit everyone.

Thanks.

sure do !

I've been driving the car for like 3 months yesterday was exactly 3 months old,
went for my first inspection on last month.
3k mileage currently.

Q : How is the car so far?
A : So far so good. But the glove compartment is too small, can't even fit the service book ._. and an extra button found on the signal there which do nothing. (I guess is for design purpose)

Q : how long have you been driving it ? How is the fc?
A : Drove it like 3 months everything seems okay to me.
Regarding Fuel consumption, i always pump full (shell 95) and manage to travel only 250km to 300km.
but there are people who can travel 300 - 400km with full tank (it depends on how you use)
I've tried come and back from KL (oug) to LCCT with full tank + sports mode, and at the end i manage to travel around 500+km

I'm a student, so i drive almost every weekdays from my house to uni (around 15 - 20 KM)
sometimes night go out yum cha, or once in a while go makan, watch movie, etc.
took me like every 5 to 7 days then i will need to pump once.

so conclusion FC is depends on how you drive (with sports mode or w/o sports mode)

Q : Can you give us a Review?
A : I'm planning to do a video regarding my hot and sexy 208 after i finish my exam


there are a few things i like the most :
1.



the blue colour lighting at the side of the roof top

2.



the white colour head light

besides that, i will roughly list out the features that i remember :
- small steering wheel
- LCD touch screen
- comes with sports mode and winter mode
- welcome light
- sport rim


Extra info :

- I have try speed 190km/h while i'm on my way to LCCT and the whole car is quite bumpy

Hi, I m 208 onwer also~~~currently happy with my black lion also
Nice to meet u

Hows the engine power? When I test drove the car, I felt like the engine was really struggling even at city speeds, and the car felt out of breath with the engine noise/rev intruding the cabin..

300-400km for a full tank is kinda bad... considering this has a 50litre fuel tank.
My saga blm can get this range with only 40litre fuel tank.

Yeah. Saga BLM is a better car.

Here my black lion with me~~hehe
When i get the car,in the same week i drove up to the Cameron highland.
Won't feel under power.4person in car and 3 luggage in back.


Attached thumbnail(s)

I mean no harm , just that was thinking of changing to a better car but not sure if this is a better car for me.

More owner come n give review..
Comparing this with rio

More owner come n give review..
Comparing this with rio..

Any nice deal or promo on this car yet?

you are quite hansem.
I like this type of guy.

When are you free to take me for a spin in your 208?

Vios is the best.

i think skyblu3 wanna meat u up

wrong. it is supposed to be bestest, the word best alone doesn't go justice to the car.

TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP @180000rpm.......

Owner here, or rather, my wife is an owner. Bought it for my wife. Just got the car 2 days ago. Waited 3 months for it.

Anyway, the left button on the turn signal does nothing on mine too. I asked the SA and he said the same thing.

A little worried about the FC though. I drove for slightly over 100km and have slightly over half tank remaining. Didn't really rev it that much. Just slight taps to let it move. I'm still on my first tank of fuel.

practically wont be any promo for 208 so soon bro, car still new in the market, plus ppl were waiting like the pregnant till give birth feel now. lol.....but not sure why i got kinda few stock in hand

comparing rio there's a thread u went in to at F&F section. So, u might need to let us know whats ur main preferences comparing these 2 cars. Otherwise i would said 208 gets the overall vote in terms of power, safety, quality, stability, interior + exterior. anymore ?

thats really facing at the high fc side abit, but i'm pretty sure the FC will get much more better after first service.

logically every new cars definitely need a "run-in" time, eventhough some ppl might said now all these new cars dont need a "run-in" period as it already become advanced or whatever.....but an engine is still an engine, running on oil based.

Agreed.

Btw, i don't see 208 in fuelly, can anyone start tracking it there?

Does the touch screen unit has gps navigation?

U are kidding me~~haha
Btw thx for ur praise

I'm not kidding.
I like guys like you.

So when you want to meet up?

mine is about 7.8L/100KM now.
mileage about 2700KM

Hahaha~~whr u live?and what is ur car colour?

pink.

Wow~~quite nice
Mine is 9.2l/km
Bt haven't get 1st service. i hear somebody say in the fb ,they can drive 300km /rm50.i i hope mine fc improve after service

Is 208 gt pink???==

Cannot respray?
So, when you want to meet up with me? I like hansome guys like you.

lol......can catch me if u can.

no gps navi in that system


actually there's a oem color consider as pink as well....passion silver, sort of "light pink"

Is who have change engine oil already when 1st service ?

seems quiet here...meaning the car doing well?...anyway, just bumping the thread to see more user review...

and which thread should actually follow...this one or the other one..

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2855047

what tyre pressure do you put on the wheels? as per recommendation - 240 front, 210 rear? (3 doors)

I don't drive a 208, but a 207. So I'll try to be a busybody here.

In the 207, the left stalk is a toggle switch that activates/deactivates the auto light sensor. To access this function, turn off the ignition. Then turn the key to "ON" (the first click), not "ACCESSORIES". Press and hold the button on the left stalk (maybe about 3 seconds or so). You should hear a "ding". Voila, that should activate/deactivate the auto light sensor!

Hope this helps, and the function's the same in the 208.

saw a bunch of 208 on a trailer in puchong just now...so those tat booked shud can get anytime soon i think..

nawh ~ i have tried press/ hold during day/night, still nothing happen

so low?

try 265 kpa

just for reference..click the wheel size to see the pressure..

http://www.rezulteo-tyres.co.uk/tyres-for-...8/208/1.6-l-120

and one more thing guys. Today only i realised that 208 has no cd player !! so, no CD for 208 x.x haha

coz nowadays most ppl dont use cd...and cd is not recommended to leave inside the car especially with our weather...

My baby got scratched by my colleague who opened the door without looking . its only about 1cm long but its still painful

anyone know if Peugeot service center can fix it? or should i just go to a normal ketuk kereta shop?

This post has been edited by ssilverr82: Sep 25 2013, 02:11 PM

ouch ! that's really hurt !! not really sure peugeot centre will fix or not, but if yes, also they will charge quite expensive i assume?

so i suggest you go those ketuk kereta shop ketuk je ~

How is the car so far guys? Plan to buy by next year... Considering new ford fiesta too. Seems like not many ppl buying this car...hmm.. Any complaints so far owners?

Waiting list still a month depends on which branch n dealer, i would say 208 selling like hot cakes in m'sia.

Any opinion on New Fiesta vs Peugeot 208 ?

ouch....either......may normal kereta shop can do it on a small part...


1.5 vs 1.6, besides gearbox, i think 208 probably an overall winner

4 speed vs 6 speed ? 6 speed should be more economical and better?

err.....frankly not much different as i'd tried both car FC. sumore is a fiesta 1.6, not 1.5. so u decide

Yesterday morning, when i'm on my way to uni, ALL OF SUDDEN !! *ENGINE TEMPERATURE FAULT PLEASE STOP VEHICLE* !!!! and i was like WTF WTF & WTF !!!!? The temperature suddenly *BOOM* rises to the MAX !

I immediately stopped my car aside and open up my bonnet to check. Nothing seems to be wrong, checked the water level and it is still at the correct water level that it supposed to be.

Then i called the service center(chan sow lin branch). Peugeot technician told me if water is not leaking, most probably is the sensor malfunction.

SENSOR MALFUNCTION ._. not even half year car (only 4&half months) has SENSOR MALFUNCTION !! what kind of stupid joke is that?

So, after a long "scolding session" with the technician, i try to make an appointment with them ASAP to fix the current problem. and you know what? "I'm so sorry sir, we currently don't have spare parts for the model 208, if you can wait, you can leave your car here, we can help you to diagnose and check exactly what is causing the problem. THEN we help you to order the spare parts OR if you cannot wait, you can straight go to our puchong outlet"

Then after i got the puchong outlet's number and address and i called them up (Puchong outlet).
The technician told me to come over tomorrow (11/10/2013) which is today and let them diagnose.

SOOOOO, TODAY... (time : 1500+-) i started my car and the warning sign is still there.
While i'm on my way to the service center (puchong outlet) SUDDENLY ! MAGICALLY ! SURPRISINGLY ! the warning gone away.
so i'm pretty sure is the sensor which is causing the problem...

Then.. i've reach there.. talked to the technician.. try to ask them to fix it asap and...... ._. the technician told me "Sorry la bang, hari ni dah full. Banyak kereta lagi kena service hari ni."
wtf man.. you ask me come all the way just to let you *touch touch* *wramp wramp* *looking around* AND ASK ME COME BACK NEXT WEEK ?! THAT'S ALL ???!!!
ended up made an appointment with them next week ._.

what a bad experience ._. even my old car (proton saga) also don't have such problem / bad service

oh man... takut la wana buy this car if like this. Any other owners have any other problems ?

try this bro

http://www.dent.com.my/

Lol... so unlucky la u....

thx bro... from what i read, its Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) mine needs to be painted. Will check with them. Thx again

lol sensor for Peugeot cars is part of the problem due to our heat weather..have to accept it

passion silver in fact is a pink..

my sister bought one of those..

we knew she is a fan of silver.. all of her previous car was silver colour.

we were expecting a true silver when she mentioned she already booked for passion silver.

it turned out to be a pink.. lololol

I'm clocking at 7.8L/100. I'm using Ron 95

That's like 16.38 cents per KM.

My manual calculations wasn't far off at 16.27 cents per KM

But that was in Sept


Now it shows 8.0L/100

Just joined...

can any owner share the real picture of the mood lighting in the car? looks very very nice.

yuan415 You have a Peugeot 208 too?

no la but i really envy their roof mood lighting, how wish it can be in my rio.

too bad that only applies for 2 door..

yea too bad..if naza bring in feline model then we get everything..

oo wow ! thanks for sharing

yuan415 - roof mood lighting? try checking whether can install to your Rio?

no. why?

you can DIY

Ya roof mood lighting..i dont think there is any third party similar product out there yet..

Something stop me from buying this car is that the screen they took off the Gps... I mean whats the point for the screen then..in other country all got gps not sure y msisn dont entitle for it..the car is not cheap either sigh

Something stop me from buying this car is that the screen they took off the Gps... I mean whats the point for the screen then..in other country all got gps not sure y msisn dont entitle for it..the car is not cheap either sigh

with this price range and b-segment, i think non-of them has a gps, probably myvi highest spec did have. or mayb can add-on the legend Vios trd spec which is diff segment. even polo, golf tsi doesnt have it.

Just my 0.002cents...

Why should compare by segment? Is the suppose feature avail for this car outside msia..just you tube 208 in all over the world they enjoying the navigator as one of the feature. If u talk segment previously my honda city no mp3 no usb..but it is todays feature n today they hv all that..so is not a valid reason for peugeot to take it out..add back the cost n we willing to pay

This post has been edited by Yukieliow: Oct 26 2013, 01:40 PM

yeah...probably u are right, but as what u said, honda city previously dont have mp3 nor usb, now only they got it only on highest spec which is 93k+, i think if u willing fork out 5k request peugeot to install it for you, i think they're happy to do it for you. anyway, u dont know what happen in future for peugeot as well right, since 208 gti come with a gps?

m'sia famous in cutting cost....70% of the car brand here did have a oem gps all over the world except m'sia.

Can anyone list down any common problem with this car? My sister insist want to trade in her car for this by this weekend. Any issue with the service centre?

mine....no problem (since early april).

but as I know of, one or two cars from the 208 gang had the engine temperature sensor problem (gives false temperature reading).

However, no offence though.....if anyone have this and that worry when considering buying a Peugeot or any conti cars, I will usually advice them to just get a Toyota.

that's very true ! i totally agree with you.

demnn.jelly!!!!

Dang!!! I collected my GTi Tuesday 5th Nov but after coming out of Showroom straight ECU faulty... Now still in Service Centre waiting for the New ECU to pass custom clearance so can put on my GTi.... damn sad... SOOOO UNLUCKY WEIH!!

How is the pocket rocket??

Anyone knows any OBD2 Readers that is compatible for the 208 GTi??

edit: accidentally posted 2... sorry... moderator can delete this?

This post has been edited by hironobu85: Nov 15 2013, 04:00 PM

Sorry to hear that about your car. Did they explain what caused the fault ? No idea on the OBD2 reader, eBay perhaps?

I also got my GTi earlier in this month. Impressions are here : https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2974419/+120

Hi guys, what is the service interval for this pug and how much per service? Is there a maintenance schedule lying around?

Maybe we should have a 208 GTi Owners Club... LoL... anyways hopefully it will be done soon, I will try to press on what caused the faulty... but before this when I press they just say the ECU faulty and thats it...

and now I was trying to ask them for compensation for 2 weeks of problems... dunno what they will compensate me with... hopefully nothing disappointing...

It's every 10,000km.


Lol i'm not sure how many members there will be, but i saw you've already joined the facebook group, i've just joined as well. Yes, press them for compensation, in fact, post it up on Peugeot Malaysia's facebook page if they're not reasonable

Thanks bro. 10,000km? Do they count months also?
