Does anyone have a problem of external smoke enter into your inside car cabin?

Even with doors & windows shut and set to internal air circulation (every time starting car), I can smell the exhaust of vehicles in front especially if they emit a lot of smoke.

I have sent to SC 3 times to check. They say no problem and no cracks or gaps for outside air to go inside. Last visit, they opened up the aircond system and check all ok, so they changed to a charcoal air filter and charged me for it.

Still can smell the exhaust/smoke from outside. It's mild but annoying, and worried of the toxic air when toddlers are in the car.

Did you happen to take note every moment when this happen the type of cars/bus/lorry/truck/MPV/motorbike that was/were in front or beside your lion?

I do occasionally smell exhaust fume and is usually when my lion is behind vehicles taller such as buses, lorries (class B or C), pick trucks. Sometimes buses by the side too.

My solution was to stay further way from them instead of bumper to bumper distance. If it is during traffic congestion and if I see bus beside my lane I'll try not to drive next to it so that it'll leave a little gap.

Question is did the charcoal filter work? If that gives you the peace of mind, then great. I too want to install.

I thought can call Peugeot Helpline and ask them to send someone on site to replace the battery. Was this option available when your car die fire?

@eusened : I think better install in car camera so that such acts can be uploaded and be shamed online. Anybody install in car cameras?

#InCarCamera

Today did my 40,000 service at actual mileage current is below 39K.
Here are the service bills for comparison from 20K, 30K and 40K.

Attached Image

I reported my side mirror retraction was weak and all 3 engineers ad KD there found that it was knocked either by accident or on purpose. Yes I admit, there were 2 incidents where motorbike knocked it. Due to that my PUG is not entitle for warranty.

Question: There was one member here that managed to get it replace as warranty claim. Did that SC initially disclaim your request?

KD quoted me that replacement will cost me RM1,230.00. cry.gif

It won't work Newbie. I hardly use auto but outside smell still gets in, it's anoyying. Seems to me there's no real solution to this problem so I'll just live with it. No point complaining anymore.

Last time I drive 'Potong' also the same got smell external vehicle exhaust fumes. Both coincidentally starts with P. rolleyes.gif

I just got my car back yesterday and no real chance to test it. It is quite annoying that problem. Also, did anyone notice that if you place any food items that smells in the boot, the smell gets into the passenger compartment very fast and the smells are strong. Is there some kind of air intake in the boot?
*
Ya I've experienced before with 'liew-lian' biggrin.gif . I believe is air circulation in a close space. In fact a more pertinent question to you is, why do you place food in the boot in Malaysian weather? Wouldn't it spoil? blush.gif

Mine also occasionally can smell the outside fume even though the air cond set to circulation mode. Worst part is if I drove more aggressive, can smell burning engine oil.

Remember and recalling the extreme haze last year. I have to wear N95 mask in the car! How much is the charcoal filter? Can put HEPA filter mou? tongue.gif

Does anyone know that the 1st 10k service is due on 3 months or 6 months. I was told by SC is due on 3 months but service booklet mentioned 6 months?
*
Maybe between 3 to 6 months if the car isn't use much & unable to accumulate up the mileage for the little spanner to warn.
I follow warning signal from the car.

do u guys normally do tyre alignment & balancing every 10k?
worth it to spend the money?

Usually I do every 5K+. Not very expensive between RM35-RM55 (unless you do the force road balance). Balance and rotation only. Alignment 10K.

In light of the recent deregulation of petrol subsidies, would that also make Engine Oil price cheaper? If yes, this would indirectly make our service cheaper, wouldn't it? Any bro in this field can shed some light on this? Thanks.

i just feed my lion 408t with caltex ron97 yesterday, once pedal on it could felt the different with ron95. Rpm up quicker & lightly. Gear change smoother. Even my wife felt same as me. I only used bhp 95 and Caltex 95 before, thats my 1st time experience. Puppy <3.  wub.gif

I cannot denounce a possible psychological effect but is possible. Could be several contributing factors.
That particular petrol station did not tamper the formula of RON97.
Maybe paying a little premium, foot a little more attune biggrin.gif .

Did you realise Pug or any other well maintained cars drive better after a good car wash? Especially self wash.

Not all SC provide balancing services, do double check before sending in.
You can claim under warranty if your car is still new (few weeks new). If not, you may need to pay for the service, hence better send to outside workshop to do it. It just just less than Rm40.

I just did balancing, alignment, rotation last Saturday. Totaly cost Rm72.
Found out one of the RIM kemek  yawn.gif  damn the Malaysia road condition.

Bro, your tyre repair service shop found the rim 'kemek' or you did?

By the way, have anyone gone to service their PUG this month (DEC) at SC? Can trouble you to share the cost? Thanks,

good thing is, our spare tyre does not qualify as 'SPARE'. Is an ACTUAL tyre. Buying 408 gets you 5 tyres! drool.gif
