Hello all Venteran Pug Owners,
I've just booked a 408 NA which the pricing is within my budget and I'd enough of Turbos already.

I booked the 408 after a test drive as the experience is truly wonderful and the cute SA managed to get me some attractive discount, RM6000 over trade and another RM6000 discount. To some, I might as well chosen the 5 yr free maintenance package but, somehow, I took the over trade option at the end of the day. But then, no freebies from the SA.

To be frank, I din't even bother to test any other brands as my friend own an Altis which I find it boring(like an Account Manager) and those Civics doesn't give out the impression I wish to express. But the 408 has got the "ooooh" factor, plus it's attractive sleek lines. Definitely, not the exuberance of luxury, but enough to be proud for driving one.

I'm now waiting for my loan to be process and the SA is finding dealer to buy my current ride.

Sorry for the long post, but kinda excited and anxious of owning my first conti. Hopefully, all goes well and I shall be able to share more wonderful experience with fellow owners here.

Au Revoir...

Those younger days, when replacing proton with mitsu engines were the trends. But those short moment of excitement were often greet with days in the workshop. Realised much of the miney and time were wasted in the workshop and got tired of it.

So, I am happy with the 2.0 NA, although I believe the 1.6T is surely fun to drive.

I certainly agree with you.

However, my priority is different now so I no longer can afford the time and money for my car to be in and out of the SC.

Even traveling on highway, i.e. North South Highway?

Does anyone applirs Rain-X or any water repellant on your 408 windscreen?

I read that visibility is made worst during raining due to the poor conversion of the windscreen wipers. The water repellant may help to improve visibility, imo.

Need to wash after applying rain x? I normally apply it after wash, then just use another dry pc of cloth to wipe the windscreen.

Thatz how I applied Rain X too. But nvr poured any chemicals into the windscreen washer tank. Some technician was tellng me doing so will decrease tje lifespan of the wipers, but it's due to plain laziness, honestly .

Does applying inside part of windscreen really prevents fog? Hmmm.... will think abt it.

Thanks bro.

Congrats to you on your new ride.

Hopefully, I'm able to get my 408 today as well. It's has been antagonising waiting for it's arrival...

Pls add me to the 408 2.0 list: Shackks, Black.

I did not noticed any left pull when driving the car home after collecting the car.

Anyone can advice how long is the engine run-in? The agent suggest 1000km and advice me to be light on the pedal. Anyone with different views on this?

Cheers

I only experienced vibrations during braking. Mileage is just 400+km. Agent did mentioned abt it as the brake pad is still new. But it felt more like d brake disc is not even.

My first tank of RON97 achieved abt 350+km, with about 80km more to go(according to the display).

Thanks, I'll get them to chk during the first inspection.

One more thing, I noticed there's some whistling noise whenever I accelerate i.e. step on the pedal. Anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi guys,
Happy CNY. been busy with family stuff during so no time come in forum.

My 408 has travelled about 1.7k km and i found the car kinda floats while travelling in high speed ard 160km/h to 180km/h.

Need to check with u guys, does ur driver side power windows able to wind down completely after pressing the switch? All the 3 other windows are able to, just the driver side cannot. How abt u guys?

Thanks for the reply. I'm driving d NA.
I'll try that later. Which means the second press on the switch will wind down d windows completely?

Thanks again.

I oso not sure. May it due to the tyres. I'm considering to change to 18 inch rims when my wallet permits.

Is the 1.6 Turbo suspension different from the 2.0 NA? My SA told both variance using different suspension.

Ic... so itz possible for the 2.0 NA to use the 1.6 Turbo springs ans absorber then?

Thanks. I'll check with the SC during the first inspection.

Thanks for your sharing ur opinion, I'm thinking of changing to 18" n suspension sets to improve the handling. I'l certainly takes your points into consideration.

I'm pretty sure the suspension is inter-changeable as the platform for both the variance are same. It's just the matter of costing.

hehe... As I had mentioned earlier, I'm not very keen on the Turbo version as I'm tired of the maintenance in the long run as these engines can be very troublesome when it starts to manja.

Middle aged Ah Pek, so not very good to spent too much time in the SC, or else, wife will

I'll be just converting the suspension and the tyre+rims only, would not touch the engines nor the transmission part. I'm very satisfied with the 2.0 performance as it is and would not do anything more to potong steam.

By the way, I'm still not able to resolve the driver side windows which will wind down completely after pressing the switch. I find it very inconvenience to keep pressing the switch until the windows wind down especially in highways toll. Somehow, the pulling switch up allows the windows to wind up completely automatically.

Bro, really cannot, i tested few times already. All the other windows switch has the second level of press then the windows will wind down, but not the driver side.

Oh yes, the handbook. Thanks for the reminder...

Good morning mtbk3,
Yes, it works for the other 3 windows, but not the driver's window. I've tested the other 3 windows and it works. This matters got me really frustrated. And yesterday I noticed that the windscreen washer on the driver side is not working as well...

Fortunately, the steering and the pedals(located on the driver side) is working properly.

I agree with u. For highway use, I used RON95 from JB to Serdang only used half tank. Speed range from 100km/hr to 180km/hr.

Hi guys,
This morning, my Leo cannot start. Short cracking sound followed by a click. All display normal.

Called Peugeot Support and see how it goes. Hopefully, it's just the battery. Only travelled 8400km... sianz.
