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

not sure is it a problem or not. 208 gearbox is sometimes quite Jerky especially when is in sports mode.
when i'm on highway (with sports mode on) and when the time i reach Tol (need to slow down, thus i have to brake)
you will feel the whole car like jerky (chok har chok har* in cantonese)

maybe this is due to the high ratio of the gear, that's why you'll feel jerky whenever the car lowered the gear

Dear all Bro,

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.... rclxub.gif

But i think that this 208 ,, the salesman told me is different gear box... i don't know.... blink.gif

In heart really feel like don';t care,,,just book it and try.... brows.gif


For April promotion is 1k ... and interest rate 2.7%,, and no more Ipad mini.....
