QUOTE(vengga85 @ Jul 22 2014, 02:58 PM) wow... labour itself so much edi.... at least not as bad as toyota, just change brake pad last time they charge me RM300 for labour alone... Agree...labour is too much, a more reasonable charge would be a cap based on service level (in this instance say RM300-350 instead of RM500) unless hard to service or more skill/time required repair crops up. |

QUOTE(jakal sombong @ Jul 23 2014, 08:25 PM) guys wanna ask , is it normal for a brand new 408 brakes to feel jittery and vibrate ? I don't believe it should be normal - may be due to uneven brake disc. I corrected this fault recently for another car. I think in V2 post #772 there was similar experience shared by another ownercomplain to Sc but they said its normal , until 10k milleage ? https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3053664/+760 This post has been edited by enochtan3668: Jul 24 2014, 08:07 AM |

Hi, I am seeking feedback on J-Glaze, G Guard and Gzox glass coating. Anyone uses this with recommendations or is there another forum where I can look up past feedbacks?
Thanks in advance! |

Hi, anybody tried glass coating with satisfaction? Any recommendations?
I have read most of the threads on coating and detailing, there dont seem to be very much support for glass coating for 2 main reasons - 1) price 2) effect is dubious or at least not as wonderful as claimed to justify the extra expense. I am keen because I am very busy plus lazy to wash car but love to see a shiny car anytime. Any cure or poison for me? |

Thanks guys for sharing. At the moment, I am considering Opti Coat - sounds good so far.
As for the bad reviews, I realised good products may have mixed reviews due to irresponsible installer. You will never know how much potential business is lost simply because you didn't supervise your workers to deliver a good job for customers. |

QUOTE(chenglong @ Aug 7 2014, 12:06 AM) Ya, I drive NA. I think you are thinking about high pressure in power steering issue, right ? I dont think it is... we can eliminated the noise for power steering when turning, we may try change the power steering oil to electronic ATF (same oil used in 408 1.6T) So bro chenglong, after switching the steering oil, the sound reduced to "when go straight, and road condition not good"? No more sound when turning?My case is, the noise (jijiji) are happened when go straight, road condition not good, and etc. I think caused by joint between exhaust pipe and engine block This post has been edited by enochtan3668: Aug 7 2014, 08:27 AM |

QUOTE(Pugbunny @ Aug 7 2014, 09:18 PM) Our NA is hydraulic power assisted steering, whereas 408T is using electro hydraulic power assisted steering. I'm not sure if NA can use the same steering fluid for Turbo. Please update once you have checked with SC. I experienced the same with two former cars Proton and Vios, when turning right or left, I am almost certain it's got to do with the steering.As for my case, on straight road, the steering don't have the yiyiyi sound (as if electric sound). It only happens when making a turn either to the left or right. Turning when is on low speed, I don't hear it on some occasions. I am more concern if the steering gives a tak tak tak sound. |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Aug 11 2014, 09:25 AM) Optimum operating temp for 1.6THP is 90deg. The engine should get up to this temp and remain steady, as your does. Any fluctuation during engine operation is abnormal. Bro SKYjack, is the optimum temp the same for NA? |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Aug 14 2014, 12:55 PM) Completely disagree! Warranty and items under warranty are very explicit, they are not subject to negotiation by any authorized SC. That's what I thought so too - perhaps it depends on the installer especially an external one, that's why SC don't want to commit and yet there's no process for certification to determine if warranty is void or not |

If high top-up volume is required, isn't it better to top-up with coolant-water mix cause otherwise may result in over dilution of original coolant?

So, I suppose not everyone have the same amount of issues with the car? I finally step up in faith and booked my Blue NA. Now looking for loan - keep my fingers crossed and wish me luck!

Yeah, I hope Nasim is listening to this. Surely they have made some good profit and replacing a few lemon is considered normal loss only - a bad reputation will hurt profit and future sales much much more. The talk out there still do not favour Pug that much, Nasim time to change that.
Btw, another bro told me and I checked with SC the THP discount is now RM17k. |

QUOTE(vknight @ Aug 25 2014, 11:47 AM) Bro. How much paying for NA? TS model is almost same price. Skyjack earlier post mentioned much better value for turbo. Please consider. 98K. I know but I want a softer ride, besides I am all city driving only, also afraid turbo may have more challenge maintaining. If finance permit later on, may want to trade-in another car for 308. Eventually, trade in 408 for 3008.  |
