Let me try to address some of your questions.
1. Generally continental cars workshops are perceived as not offering better service compared to local or japanese cars workshops. Reasons could be a) less workshops available - not enough man power or slots to look at each car thoroughly b) conti cars are more sophisticated (this is what you pay for), so there will be more areas for problems to occur. Remember the merc owner who smashed her windscreen in Penang SC? I have no other issues with my car, other than a small tyre pressure loss which cannot be detected using normal methods, I even sent to third party workshops, still undetected. After Christmas, I am sending in to Glenmarie overnight to check, this time specifically checking on valve. Hope they find the problem. This only happens to me, AFAIK.
2) I drive 408T. So, can't comment on this, but a new car should be smooth.
3) There are 2 important dates - manufacturing date and registration date. If you buy in Jan 2014, chances are the car is manufactured in 2013. Don't bother about resale value lah, you're buying a 2.0L conti car below rm100k, apa lu mau lagi?
4) No problem.
5) My battery died after 3k km. In my case, I use the USB port all the time to play mp3. It's under warranty, so I replaced the battery in SC. Some owners reported that they used the battery beyong 20k km.

Edit: I am even thinking of getting the 408 Griffe, if someone will give me a good offer.

hi Newbie838, i wonder how much is selling price that ur SA offer you after the further 2k deduction. I get offer at rm 102,888 with insurance & 5 yr free service. Still thinking

My Gf is driving the 408. I had similar experience with my Myvi as well. Mine was the spark plug cable problem.

Hi all, noob question on HU player.
Those aftermarket OEM touchscreen player, 1 DIN 2 DIN... whats that ah?

3M Crystalline , not bad, last year RM1600

I have used both. My oil change is always around 7K. Did not feel any difference and am sure both will easily last till 10K. However ash content of Total is lower than Syntium.

Hehehe........I knew someone will ask this question. As wjchay said,underused! Did 30K service 2months ago with 21K on the dial!

If you have a serious problem,then I would recommend Balakong or Glenmeri. Have not visited Balakong,but that is the main center. I expect there'd be a higher level of expertise there.

Thanks skyjack...
Early next month due 20k service but meter showing 12k only (now).. under utilized..haha
I’m thinking whether worth paying extra for total or not.. when i did my 10k service, i requested for total ..
Btw, should we just go to only one service center for service rather than once here, once there? Coz if any replacement or claim, that branch have a full record of your service..

2.5K service is a general inspection for condition and topup. It's ok to leave your air filter. I guess it's ok to leave the filter even on regular service. However when you need to make an engine part warranty claim, or have a problem with your car and needs attention,then replace with original filter. Of course you can play it safe by replacing the original filter any time your car goes to SC!

French are damn stingy when it comes to warranty claims. Have had problems with Airbus Industry over a  minute item!

yes they are!!! terribly stingy and they stick to details. warranty claim miss one document, the whole claim is thrown out. and usually, it is dealers who submit incomplete documents or submit late (till there is no time to resubmit). here's a bit of expose. sometimes when a customer's warranty claim gets rejected by automobiles peugeot due to incomplete paperwork, the dealer will usually pin the blame on nasim to the customer. so, the customer usually comes off with a nasty aftertaste about nasim the franchise holder.

by the way, the japanese don't care if you service based only on mileage even though their t&c for warranty is same around the world with the europeans but for the french especially, you have to service EITHER by mileage OR by time. no 2 ways about it.

nasim has their own service centres like ipoh, plentong, glenmarie, puchong, balakong and kuching. juru used to be nasim's own but it has been converted to citroen already. the rest of the service centres are dealers.

408 from RM45k?

Ok. The spanar is there. But it doesnt tell you the date right??? Mileage is not a problem coz can always see. Is the date only....

usually there will be a sticker stating your last service on your windscreen. just see 6 months from that date.

the thing about AP's warranty is like this. even if you park your car and not move it for 6 months, you will STILL have to service it.

Peugeot Malaysia should build a sms blasting system. Blast to all the owners a reminder on when the service is due. Hahahahah. That would be awesome.
