About the door lock, I am still not very understand what you are saying. So far I dont find any mysterious noise with my doors, or maybe my ignorance level quite high tongue.gif

I dont find any of my brake caliper turning yellow. But the 2 front wheels are know to have more brake dust due to the ceramic brake pads.
*
This yellowish caliper is not the front of both, it is rear one.... weird hmm.gif

Other thins is, normally I wash my car every Saturday morning (car in cold condition). After wash it, no drive it until Monday.
Morning want to drive it out from car porch, I shift to reverse gear and then release handbrake (not press brake at all). my car not move at all due to brake still "hold" . So I press more gas and then I heard louder "pang" from rear.
Many time this sound can be heard after wash and leave it certain time.

SC said this is normal... anyone has smiler problem ?

While reading, I thought the "pang" was from your car hitting the gate wink.gif

Not hitting the gate, it is sound like..(brake pad hold the disc brake very tight but you force it move)

This is not a problem but a built in safety feature. Once the engine is started,brake pedal must be pressed before selection of gear. If this is not done the brakes lock is not released and the car does not move. The lock can be forced release by pressing the accelerator.

The forced release condition will be accompanied with a loud sound and message in the multifunction screen. 

The forced release condition is also a built in feature in case there is a failure of brake pedal pressed signal. The failure of this signal can render your car unmovable. By pressing the accelerator you are overcoming the brakes hold.

I hope that is a safety feature. I'll test it again this weekend and update to you all soonest.

I want install the undercarriage shield protector. Anyone interesting of it ?

I tried just now, can't even shift gear if not stepping on the brake.
Wonder how you shift gear from "P" to "R" without applying brake.
*
Meaning I wrote the wrong step tongue.gif I step on brake pedal then shift to reverse gear, release handbrake but car no move at all... this is what i experience.
But I really confirmed that this is problem must occur after washing and leave some time cry.gif

Believe you mean this:
1) Car wash, and dried
2) Start car, step on brake
3) Shift to "R", release handbrake
4) Release brake pedal
5) Heard a "BANG" sound

Correct me if I am wrong.

This does happen to mine also, no matter I shift to "D" or "R", release the brake den will hear a sound "kong" from the brake. Only happen after car wash. But I think this is normal, somethg happened to the brake pad  tongue.gif

Any sifu can explain?
*
You wash your car in cold condition also? you start car immediately after washing ?
I saw in the handbook. Pug recommend user do this step:

-After washing
-Start engine
-press the brake pedal few time do prevent rusting on the brake system.

With your car, the problem may be a defective gearbox sensor!

-front have rattle noise when on the rough road, don't know where it come from.
-rear have rattle noise when on the rough road, don't know where it come from.
-when closing the door, rear boot have noise, sound like "bo" (maybe pressure).
-driver seat problem. maybe screw losing
-one of the plastic not proper installed, misalignment (between rear seat and door) i think clip already broken.

Hi guys,

Finally, after sending in my car to Glenmarie many times due to tyres losing pressure, they said they have found the problem to be with the valves. I already asked them to change the valve before but they refused. Now they have hired a tyre expert in house to find the problem.

SA called me and say hv to charge me together with changing "tube"? I am also not quite clear, will find out more today.

I had the problem since day 1, but only complaint officially during 2500km inspection. Now my mileage is 5000km. Anyone knows if I should be charged for this?

I am also replacing the third brake light plastic mount that's melted, under warranty, no cost. SA says warranty for the plastic runs for 5 years. True? So every 6 mths I can change the plastic?

Thanks.

Hi.
You tell them the plastic melted ?

Yeah, otherwise how to get them to replace it?

EDIT: SA was surprised I opened it myself tho, but he didn't say anything.

I at the SC now. I had shown the photo to SA about this problem too, he said if bulb can light up then no problem, not need to replace it. cry.gif

Just ask you, you rear have rattle noise when driving ? I suspect that it come from 3rd brake light..

Bro, every SC has different set of people, including attitude. My 5 cents is not to compare each other.

Kota Damansara SC will only act when I am jumping in front of them. LOL. So yeah, "people management".

Sorry, I was forgot to update my car status after checking. See red color

Tomorrow checklist :

-Brake issue
They service brake only (did cleaning on brake pad). Still monitor it currently. FYI, In China, many 408 user also have similar problem. Finding is water caused layer of rust between brake pad and disc brake after couple of time so when car start moving, friction will happened and then we hear that noise.     
-front passenger door stepper have rattle noise, like ti-tok-ti-tok when opening or closing
After checked, confirm limit door arm loose, tighten it and problem solved.
-front have rattle noise when on the rough road, don't know where it come from.
After checked, SA told me that one of the screw in the windows loose, they already tighten it. But rattle noise still there.
-rear have rattle noise when on the rough road, don't know where it come from.
SA said check already but rattle noise still there. End up, I check it by self, rattle noise are came from plastic cover of 3rd brake light. I dismantle it and then put some electrical masking tape around the cover to avoid plastic contact to plastic. So far no rattle noise anymore. Will continue monitor it...
-when closing the door, rear boot have noise, sound like "bo" (maybe pressure).
SA said check already but problem still there.
-driver seat problem. maybe screw losing
SA said this is normal
-one of the plastic not proper installed, misalignment (between rear seat and door) i think clip already broken.
SA said this is normal

that's all. I think I can "sleep" in the SC because too many thing to check and they works very slow as well

I can said, Peugeot service below my expectation shakehead.gif
