Guys, accelarator pedal having click sound towards end  of travel. Is that normal?
*
It is normal and it is a safety feature for most of the European car. It is used to force down shift or disable speed limit control during emergency. I personally haven't tried that.

Recently my driver side door arm got 'kok' sound when opening and closing the door. My car just 4 months old. Does anyone experience it before?

Door hinge or they call "door stopper" - be careful what they change, the part should be in the seal plastic with label made in France, otherwise you may face the problem from bad to worst.

I just sent in my car for the door stopper change. What do you mean from bad to worst? Do you check the warranty part before you let them do the work. I need to leave my car there for 3 days because my car needs to change the smelly car dash sponge. So, I didn't check any warranty new parts.

my car have "smelly car dash sponge" this issue as well.
But not send for warranty yet. It need 3 days ?

This is what they asked for. Waiting for the parts is the nightmare because warranty center keep on delay the part to send out to service center. Hopefully this time able to solve the problem.

I read an article said that we should maintain at least a 1/4 tank to prolong the fuel pump. The article said that the modern HPFP requires fuel to lubricate and cool the pump. I think it is quite true because some of our friends here suffer HPFP issue after low fuel. Not sure how about other sifu here thinking.

Bro, the smelly dash sponge, does it smell like a car tire. My cabin stinks of a rubberish tire like smell when left for a couple of hours.  Same thing? Also what's  the exact name of the part they replaced?  I always have trouble explaining issues to Peugeot SC.
*
Yes. it smells like plastic. You can call to Penang SC because they have helped few customers fix it. I also request them to close the aircond flap and 80% of time won't smell the outside fume.

Awesome. I've been wondering what that smell was. It seems to be getting worse. Now I can smell it outside as soon as I open my car door. Will try to get this fixed by the folks at Setia Alam SC. Going there next week for service.

Bro, which badge of your ride? Mine is OCT2014 Turbo Standard.

Hi all,

Any1 had issues with smelly aircon?,
Im having this issue of smelly aircon from day one, it become worse after pushing the car eg: driving above 170km/h. The smell is quite pungent, like burnt plastic and there is always a foul smell everytime i get in the car after leaving it under hot sun, is it caused by smelly sponge issue as what the previous post has discussed? Complained to our "friendly and effective" Glenmarie Sc Numerous times but, as usual, no response from them.Any1 had this issue previously? Pls assist...

Planning to go to either balakong Sc or Seremban sc for my next service onwards since Glenmarie Sc is way above my expectations when it comes regarding effectiveness and response.. Mesmerized by their service.. hehehehe.
*
I fixed mine at Penang SC. No point to argue with sc. Just write an email to clic and follow up from there is way more effective.

After I test driven the 408 I can feel the performance especially when turbo kicked in smile.gif
But upon releasing the throttle i can feel there is a strong engine braking pulling the car which is really annoying.

Anyone can claim that this is normal on this car?
*
I think this is normal. According to the SA, the engine will keep in high RPM for a while even though you release the throttle. This is to ensure the driver can sprint for another time. If the RPM drop too fast and the driver require second sprint, the driver will easily feel the turbo lag. This turbo lag effect can be felt when you slow down at the junction and continue sprint. To cancel the high RPM effect, after you release the throttle, you slightly press the throttle then the engine speed will back normal.

In order to let the conventional turbo work, it has to maintain certain engine speed because the turbo spin base on exhaust gas. Whereas VW car got both mechanical turbo and conventional turbo, they use mechanical turbo at low speed to counter the conventional turbo lag issue.

Bro this car has many amber messages & lights which are advisory, meaning no fault but equipment is active & functioning.

However a defect is also indicated by amber message & amber icon. This triangle also comes on to catch the drivers attention to tell him a defect has been detected. Meaning, what you have now is not just an advisory but a defect!

Bro Skyjack, if he snap the photo at the moment he turn the key to "ON", all the check lights will on and it will goes off if there is no issue after ignited the engine.
