This's not only Nassim, other makes also the same. On paper, an SC is supposed to be fully quipped and have adequately trained mechanics to service/repair respective models. Hence higher charges.

In reality, independent specialist do a better job cos it's their own business! Glad to see Pug volume increasing cos this will lead to more independent workshops. Better price, better maintenance!

Oh U kena ketoh from family la...."I told u don't buy pijot".....hehehe! This one got no remedy, have to face the music, especially from her majesty....hehehe!

As for the delay on parts, keep push them, but in a civilized manner. Make an effort to meet the manager as many times as you can. You tend to get better results this way.

Good luck,my friend!

Chan Sow lin former Peugeot SC has gone independent. I hear Rahim in Kajang is good,but not sure if he can handle THPs. There are others in Klang Valley, anyone can post contacts?

Tks for the contact bro. Need to change one tyre. Kena pot hole and benkah on the side! Lucky the wheel is not affected.

Any repair shops for this?

Figured out a simple fix on 1 tyre change. Change the bengkah tyre to new one. Exchange the spare with the worn tyre.
I prefer to have new tyres at the front. The front wears off quicker too. After a while the difference between rear and front is not that noticeable.

Bro,this is a problem. After a brief period of engine startup/operation, temp. MUST stabilize at 90C. This signal is used for various engine operation. It affects different combustion strategy. Continuous operation with unsteady coolant temp. would lead to high FC and foul plugs.

I did write a brief on effects of unsteady coolant temperature, recently. Check my post.

Try a different SC,but insist on the change! I had the same answer when I sent in my car, which was acting exactly like yours.

Front desk personnel are not technically trained. They have no idea unsteady coolant temp. is abnormal. Their knowledge of as long as the temp. did not hit the red range then no problem and ini normal, is ok for old engines.

On old engines the coolant/water was only for purpose of cooling the engine and preventing overheat.So as long as there is no overheat, no problem!

Not on these high tech engines. On these engines, coolant temp plays a critical role in combustion strategy. Every signal from cold to hot is sent to ECU which commands respective engine operation. An improper coolant signal feedback to ECU will command an improper engine operation. In your case the improper engine operation will be subtle, unnoticeable for a long while.

When the front desk staff gave me the same reply, "ini normal", i insisted to meet the service engineer. Only then I got the coolant temp. sensor changed.

If you are high mileage user than ok. If like me not ok,my average per year is about than 10K. Expiry is 5 years, balance 3 years i would do only 30K. That means need to change tyres before worn!

As for general condition of car, no need to worry. Don't need the check list also. Nasa SA are well trained and do a good job of pre delivery inspection. They will also give you a good operational brief during your acceptance.

Bravo.....finally they changed it for you. Your Lion sayang you and showed them something they could not refuse! Hehehe....well done!

That's the beauty of pijot,you'll have the last laugh!

Your gb is 8AT. This is a new gb,no reported problems other than slight jerks by some owners. The sound you mentioned is a symptom of impending failure. Try changing the ATF!

If SC does not want to do anything, then you have no choice to continue till it fails, then make a warranty claim.

Tell SC to rest the TCU. As for the sound, better to accept the overhaul.

You can have the gb diagnosed by a independent gb specialist. Do not send it for repair with them,you'll lose Peugeot warranty. This just for your info. I don't have the contact,but there are a few in Klang Valley.

As regards to waiting, I can understand your frustration. The problem is not entirely due to Nasa, the damn French are very sticky and difficult. They want every document to be right before approval......bloody frogies!

On your part,hold your temper,be patient but persistent! It helps to get Nasa staff on your side!

Bro don't accept this rudeness. Don't let him get away with this behavior. He does not deserve to be working there if he hasn't got common courtesy! Get his name and make an official complaint to management. Post a copy on Peugeot FB.

FOC within 150km,topup if more. I suspect faulty coolant temp. sensor has triggered both error msg. Update us after repair!

Snap shot of msg is a very good idea!

1.As your car is brand new, I doubt if the error msg is anything serious. It could be just a computer signal loss between interface interaction. Drive it for another day and monitor. I believe once the computers have establish the interaction links, everything will be fine.

2.Vibration could be due to unbalanced tyres. Back to the SC!

The bumpy ride is inherent of the sports tuned suspension setup on the 408t. It can be partially reduced by changing to softer shocks, coil springs and higher profile tyres. Bear in mind these changes, while they improve comfort, reduce handling ability of the car.

Not to say the handling will be affected to a point that the car is rubbish to drive. 408t original sports tuned setup has put the handling characteristic of this car at a completely different level compared to it's competitors! By changing the setup you lower the bar on handling!

Btw SC will not be able to do anything about this!

Good advice !

@Hannibal
Try out mtbk3's advice. Since you say the bumpy ride has got worse after tyre change, very likely the tyres are the culprit.

Fyi, at 140kmh, i find even KL/Seramban hwy is bumpy at certain areas. Sometimes when in the mood, I take LEKAS. Then I do 170-180kmh, nice and smooth!
