QUOTE(chenglong @ Dec 18 2013, 12:03 AM) Probably by circuit board/cable or grounding cable problem. This cause unstable current flow rate. drive in to the SC to check it out. Thanks chenglong, SC said need to make appointment to check those things you mentioned. Will fix a day to send in to check. |

QUOTE(puppydogpoo @ Dec 17 2013, 05:29 PM) Bought from Kota Damansara Peugeot showroom. It was the test drive unit - 6 months old. I guess some members here have driven the car before Congrads and good buy! I guess the warranty is ok. Just to be on the safe side I would drive over to SC and check with service manager if your warranty documents are in order. Service manager would be the best to advice you. Bought for 100k excluding insurance and tinting. 5 years warranty on parts only.I signed the manual and warranty booklet, but the name written there is the dealership's name. The SA told me that that is all I need to do, for warranty to be transferred to me. Can anyone please share your knowledge on this? Thanks! |

Hello kawan kawan 408 NA & Turbo,
Any idea is there a pollen filter for 408 Turbo air cond? First ignition of the day or night, there is a light hint of odour from the air conditioning vent. Anyone experiencing the same? Thank you |

QUOTE(ktchang321 @ Dec 17 2013, 10:23 PM) is your lion blue color one and plat no. Is 408? That's right  @SKYjack Thanks for the info on warranty. I will check with the service manager  Will be going back to kota damansara service center this sat. Some items needed fixing. After 5 days of driving the car, I would say that the 6spd gearbox is definitely not silky smooth. Should I get it checked? @jaraychan so fast noticed it? Clarifying the gearbox comment by myself: - When accelerating, the car feels great, no doubt. - Until reaching 3rd or 4th gear however, the car feels a bit reluctant a bit "loose". When driving in tiptronic mode then there is no such feeling. - When slowing down quickly, the car feels reluctant to drop gears sometimes, resulting in a bit of dragging. - When changing speeds regularly (fast/slow/fast/slow), the car is sometimes reluctant to drop gears, and sometimes reluctant to engage the next gear. - When starting off from a standstill (0-30kph range), the car feels reluctant to increase its speed when gradually applying pressure to the accelerator. Again, no such problem in tiptronic mode. Today, the engine kept its RPM at about 4-5k for a while even after i let go of the accelerator pedal. Anyone else experienced this before? I think the car did slow down though... Not entirely certain what happened... Will see if it happens again. I'm not trying to stir up trouble. Just curious about the normal behaviour of the 408 turbo. On the whole I am happy with the car. And also I am not really a car person and don't know much, so I may be mistaken or ignorant about many things here... Thank you for everyone's patience and understanding This post has been edited by puppydogpoo: Dec 18 2013, 10:05 PM |

that's very normal on all turbo units
D - slow mo mode but still better than more cars out there S - zoom zoom mode and ECU will hold gears longer i believe most imports has this similar programming aka to drop gear when you brake to induce more braking power and will hold gear when you accelerate and decelerate, ECU will hold gear as it anticipates instant power |

I experience the same at low speed starting from 0kph, gear will hold instead of moving up when I am light footed. However, when I step on it harder starting from 0kph, the gear will move up quickly.

I think the car did slow down though... Not entirely certain what happened... Will see if it happens again. Turn off engine,as the lights dim,press and hold accelerator fully down for 15sec. It will probably take a day or 2 for the gb to adapt to your driving style. After that it should be smooth. This post has been edited by SKYjack: Dec 19 2013, 06:04 PM |

QUOTE(puppydogpoo @ Dec 18 2013, 08:58 PM) That's right no problems here. you're just new to the 'peugeot way' of transmission programming. you'll get used to it and maybe even like it (i personally don't like cvt cos it is really too smooth for my personal liking). don't expect super smooth shifts all the time though as the french like to 'feel' the gear changes unlike cars from other brands.@SKYjack Thanks for the info on warranty.

Good to see NA ownership increasing. At 95K it is a fantastic buy. I'm trying to get brother in law interested. He's waiting for the new Altis. Unfortunately Toyota is such a strong brand name,I don't think I'm having much success! I let him drive my Lion. He drives so boring, no wonder he likes Toyota!

@EP6CDTM @wjchay @lowpro @SKYjack
Thanks for sharing your experiences with this car. Great to know that my car is working normally wjchay my car behaves exactly as you described QUOTE(SKYjack @ Dec 19 2013, 06:01 PM) I don't think there's anything wrong with your gears. All the of above are normal for this gb. The gb may be still adapting to your driving style which is probably different than whats in it's memory. I would suggest gb reset. It's actually very simple. Awesome, I'll give that a try Turn off engine,as the lights dim,press and hold accelerator fully down for 15sec. It will probably take a day or 2 for the gb to adapt to your driving style. After that it should be smooth. Thank you again! |

I have a 32gb thumbdrive and formatted to fatXX. Yesterday, I transferred 300mb+- of songs into it and I found out that it cannot play the songs smoothly. Why ar? If problem still persist, save few songs only and then try again. |
