phew!

i've got my windscreen replaced at puchong sunway glass today. Good service from the owner Mr Lim.

Original windscreen with Peugeot and Naza logo. I wonder where he got it from when Nasim themselves says no stock?

He was also told new shipment will only arrive in 3 weeks.

Mind to share total damage?

here you go:

i find it disappointing. the rear looks so teana/new sylphy ish. and the front is so generic that you can slap a hyundai badge on it and nobody will think otherwise. some may like it though.

At first glance the rear look like new nissan sylphy.. doh.gif rclxub.gif

RM375 is reasonable. RM300.. too cheap. Could be old stock. Check the week/year manufactured on those tyres to comfirm.

Can we use 225/45/17 for our stock rim? What is the limit for the width?

I do get some buzzing sound when I open the door after unlocking but it only lasts about 2-3 seconds. Sounds like some kind of actuator has been activated.

Yes.. I do have that sound too.. But it only for couple of seconds..

sounds like some relay and it should go off

if it doesn't, send it back to SC

It didnt go off as long as the key inserted (without engine on).

Will escalate this to SC for check up..

hi bros and sistas...

i'm new here. last sunday test drove 408 turbo, 2.0 and 508. can tell you guys, i was really impressed. i need your sincere advise and opinion on 408 here on a few things..

1. hows the maintenance cost for 408 turbo as compared to 2.0. i heard turbo uses timing chain and the latter uses timing belt.

2.  FC for both city and long distance driving.

3.  issues that normally related to these two cars. like someone told that turbo has issues on sensor and gearbox.

i know you guys might have mentioned it earlier... i tried reading 1 by 1 but its just tooooo long. i really need your advise and opinion as i fell in luv with this lion..
*
Honestly my personal opinion: How I wish i had bought 408T instead of NA..

Not to say i regretted to have NA lion in my porch.. But if i can turn back time, 408T is my choice..

FC NA: RM100 for 460km.. First 10k - 20k my lion a bit thirsty.. RM100 for 350km only.. Now better..

Issues with gearbox & sensor: From my reading seems that new 408T no more issues on these..

2years ago I test drove the 408THP when it was introduced. I actually was keen on the NA,but that day only THP test car was available. Ok I thought no harm in testing it. That test run completely changed my opinion. Changed my mind to the THP for following reasons:

Very precise and accurate feedback from the steering. This is not my 1st car, the feedback is at another level compared to even other conti's I've owned previously.
Turbo power is simply addictive. Effortless and smooth
Silky smooth 6spd gb.
$20K extra( price diff between NA & THP ) is a steel for what you get.
  My rough estimate to configure a 4spd NA to 6spd turbo and additional safety features which comes on the car is $70K min. 

IMO, if you can afford the extra $20K,get the THP.

Btw,bro sbd has upgraded to 508 SW. He is selling his 408t. The car is very low mileage and very good shape. Same batch as mine and we have not had a single problem.
*
Exactly the same reason why if I able to turn back time I would choose turbo instead of NA.. thumbup.gif

But don't get me wrong. I love my lion so much.. wub.gif

QUOTE(a-hp @ Apr 28 2014, 11:59 AM)
out of curiosity, would you be kind enough to enlighten the reason or reasons for that matter, of why you would have chosen a 408T over 408NA shall you have the chance of turning back the time?
