Hi. I just want to ask everyone here, can we install engine underbody shield to our 408 ? Will void warranty? Supplier claimed that this shield can protect the engine from water/stone and high heat resistance. Is it good to install it ? Thank you

It is good to have. Most conti or higher level cars do have this. Kinda surprise our 408 does not come with this.
And I dont think there is anything to do with the warranty.
*
I see. I was afraid only the heat dissipated from engine bay will reduce if install this shield. I plan to install if good. You want to install it ?

No. I was found this issue through a pug 408 forum in China.

Last night, I did check it on mine 408, total 5 bulbs. All are melted due to bulbs touching on the plastic...In China, this is common problem over there, so they change the normal bulbs to LED to prevent further damage on the plastic.

You can check yours too, I can confirm. it melted sad.gif

Hi Chenglong,

My car is 408T. I looked at the third brake light and it doesn't seem to be as long as in the image, maybe perception. Anyway, there is a plastic cover (light grey) that covers the mounting. How do I remove the cover? I am afraid I would break something.

Thanks in advance.
*
Hi. You cannot see this socket until you open the cover.
Follow instruction below, you be able to dismantle it smile.gif Remember, Use index finger at point 3.

Hi Chenglong,

thanks for the wonderful instruction. I managed to get the cover open. However, not I see 2 types of screws, the larger one on both sides requires a star screwdriver, which is not the usual type. How do I go about?

thanks again.

Now, You remove the power cable first and then use long type screwdriver at point 1 if you don't has star screwdriver on hand (Hints: short type screwdriver very difficult to turn the screw)

user posted image

Me, I remove the star screw first (point 2) so I can take down entire black housing. I can easily remove screw at point 1.


After you remove screw at point 1, you will see the two clip (next to the screw) at each point 2, "un-clip" it

Then, you can take out the bulb mounting, like picture below

user posted image

If you want take out the bulbs, don't use hand, use masking tape. Don't press on top to the bulb directly (to avoid break). Use tape wrap on top of each bulbs, gentle pull it left-right until it loose. like picture below

Hi Chenglong,

Thanks for the elaboration. I managed to find a star screw driver and opened the mounting. Seems like the bulb mounting is melting sad.gif

[attachmentid=3770100]

What's next? Is this under warranty? Do I tell SC I opened it to find out?

Thanks.

I plan to change all the bulbs to LED, it generate less heat than normal bulbs.
I not sure under warranty or not, but you can contact to SC.

Hi Chenglong,

I deal with Glenmarie SC. If I call the SA, she will ask me to send in to check first. Standard answer, that's why I don't call them wink.gif

I will see what my car salesman can do.

Thanks.

Hi.

If you manage to claim it, you need to change the bulbs too, right? Or maybe originally it is like this.. otherwise, it will melt again..

Yeah I guess you're right, maybe I will just let it run until shit happens, then claim warranty or maybe pay a bit for the casing or change the entire brake light to a sexier unit?

LED, afaik, is also pretty hot, I have a 5W LED bulb at home for downlight, definitely can't use bare hands on it when it's hot. Maybe lower powered ones are not as hot?
*
Home downlight on atleast few hours than brakelight just on few minute (I think less than 5W), heat will less too..
Claim warrant will do it on next service then I'll change all bulbs to LED.. unsure.gif

My car headlight (right side) H7 bulb burned out for the second time. sad.gif Last change was on 1 Sep 2013, less than four months. Is there any advise with regards to this fast burned out?
*
Probably by circuit board/cable or grounding cable problem. This cause unstable current flow rate. drive in to the SC to check it out.

Guys, anyone of you having problem with playing mp3 from USB?

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?
*
Hi. You can try to create a 1 new folder in the pen drive and then save all the mp3 file into it.
If problem still persist, save few songs only and then try again.
