Hi all, I'm a 408 1.6T user living in bangkok thailand. Not many pug owners here but im proud to own one.

I've been. Using for almost 2 years now and my first battery with yokohama was already gone, changed during my 10k mileage. Now my car is at 25k and I need some information. I'm not sure if my second battery is about to die as when I now turn my car steering wheels, my headlight will be dimmed, and once my steering wheel stop turning then headlight become normal, I never really notice but today I see so I'm not sure if it is normal or not so can anyone of you share information if this is normal or sign of battery about to die?

ive met a few pug drivers...5008, 407, 308t, vti etc.......whilst the car is good, naza has absolutely no idea how to mentain these cars.

imagine to change engine oil u have to leave it overnight. hence why you see the value of 308t's falling like a ginormous snowball

If can lower the car sure damn best.....They should have lowered the car la.....~~Hahahahaha

nah, you just bluff your ownself

408 and camry is diff category

if u want to compare, you have to compare w same catergory

anyway , just your pure opinion

you have problems w your car but u dun admit it

Really???? MAX major service around RM2.1k only??? Then is pretty ok mah......

Anyone can give an example of their service and cost? Or their parts and cost?

This is crucial for my decision making.

Thank you very much.

Hi guys,
glad to see that more & more 408 owner nowadays (1 st sorry for my english, but we Malaysian..so pls adopt it  )

i have flw most of 408 locals thread/forum, see the post from members/owners and not least the bashers )

though im yet to be the owner (soon). But sometimes, if just reads and no any posting-  seems like i just talk to my self   & really need share the infos that might related to the 408 issues/problem/etc.  Yes im new here, and may also not have a 'right' to say much, but from my experience as 'kaki lepak bengkel Conti', was an 2 car forum/club committee (no need to mention lah) & also was an SparePart runner - so i do concerned on some of the problem or issue that has raised by some owner here.

i may not has lots knowledge on Pug car, but no harm if we all here can share the thoughts & feel..right?

as i can summarize here, few things (or maybe not many BUT for me it should not) :

1) some owner complaint/issued the 'kaput battery'
i- why this happened in within of 20k of mileage? even i'd seen got prob before 1st year?
have we here try to isolate the prob and look for the common factor ( sorry guys, im doing a some Wireless Technical jobs everday- so always in the isolation/simulation environment  )
ii. is the brand of battery same on yours?
iii. is the same brand in other Pug model? i.e 508,3008?
and it that happened to them?'

IF ALL ABOVE YES - so now we left 2 element to narrow down -
the brand of battery not so good (remember some part is locally made or lowya made) or one thing observed if there only on some batch of battery.

IF NOT the battery and happened also with other brand of battery - So sure as what i presumed is maybe the batt get low charge from the Alternator. Maybe the alternator not so fits with our environment or the alternator got some prob.
2) i've seen a posting in other thread (v2 i think) the rubber at window got crack? whaatt???
pls dont tell me the CKD made is using rubber part from china made or local made.
this shud not happened! my 7 years old CKD hyundai only seldom got roof park..but still no crack problem, but only can see some mould or ..mould je lah.. imagine everyday hot sun or rain.

never apply in his life any liquid etc. Only the inner rubber (between door and frame) get keras and not so soft during 1st two years..and i did check with SC Manager because that rubber only some part that locally made beside many is still from origin manufacture (korea). The rest of plastic or rubber thing in my car never get dull or crack and some of my friend did ask whether i did apply any protector- &  i say no..

glad when compare that with even 6-7 years Waja and my dashboard still look new- & that's my Hyundai..hope this Pug also will be like that.

sorry for long story- but story matters the plastic/rubber thing sure u all will get a lesson or may take some precaution on that.
btw/ any one know what are tyre size for Griffe 18rims?  225/235/??

thanks guys..

Hello Guys,

I noticed for a few days already that my car is starting to jerk a little. When im driving it, and the cars shift up or down, it tends to jerk a little. Never notice this when i first got the car. This thing happen after i played with the manual mode couple of nights ago.

Also, do u feel your car engine vibrates when u leave it on idle??? When i start my engine, still in P or N, i can feel a certain vibration or beat from the engine. Quite hard to explain. Its like a heart beat, or put it more negatively, is like the vibration/sound when a engine is going to mati. Please advise all sifus....

Thank you very much.

the 2.0 i'm using averages about 11.5L/100km. the car is just about 3,500km. so it is still pretty new... and tight.

swaying while braking at high speed is pretty normal, if it worsen, your brake disks may be warped

mine now sways at all speed

brake disk warped at 19k kms, waiting for warranty claim

I am really surprised to hear something like this. I'm not sure if the foreman are trained if this is their fix! Your battery may be weak,that is another issue,but is not related to your engine dying uphill.

Once the engine is started the alternator provides all electrical supply. In fact the battery is being charged at this time by the alternator. The battery is on standby to provide electrical power in case the alternator fails during the time the engine is running. The engine is not an electric motor to work harder or use more electrics for uphill climb.

The fact that you are able to start several times after a while indicates your battery is not the cause of engine failure. It may be weak and needs to be changed. I don't think battery change has solved the problem. IMO it's an ECU or fuel pump issue!

Please update,am more keen now!
