Not saying this is a frequent problem with 408. In fact only very very few had it.

You can check out your car by doing a Genting run one Sunday! Saves you the hassle,with family and all, on your way to Camerons!

Like i said, test your car at Genting one Sunday. Chances are your car may be fine. This is not a problem that is frequent or many.

The car will be very underpowered. The engine is now a 1.6 NA without the turbo functioning. You will get messages, can't remember exact wording.

Warranty will cover the cost, which is around $15K at Naza, around $4K outside.

Coolant temp must be a steady 90 deg. as this is the engine normal operating temp, no matter what the ambient temp. Any thing outside normal operating temperature,higher or lower, will trigger an ECU response to get the temp back to 90deg.

Thus it is possible to see a fluctuating coolant temp. due to ECU response to correct the effect. This is a symptom of defective coolant temp.sensor. SC will tell you not to worry cos the indication has not gone to high ( red zone). Not true, it is not normal,and will trigger the ECU to command corrective measures continuously,which will affect the engine on the long run.

If the coolant temp. is not steady 90deg,for all engine operation, have temp.sensor changed!

Just a friendly advice:

If need to change battery,ask for DIN 66. The battery shop will know what it is.

Original battery on our Lion is DIN 55. As you all know our Lion tends to eat up battery.The fact is not only our Lion,most modern cars due to the high level of electronics! BMW uses much higher capacity battery, and few other contis too!

DIN66 will give roughly 30% more life than the original, and it fits very well into 408's battery housing. Got 2 years out of my last battery, DIN55. Hopefully will get 3 years on this DIN 66! Whatever life you are getting on your present battery, you'll get 30% more on DIN66!

Hope your Lion gets fixed soon bro vknight!

Actually this is not a problem but rather a characteristic of the car. 408t has a sports tuned suspension,which makes it very rigid. Rigid suspensions provide excellent road holding,especially in corners. Virtually hugs the road with well control on body roll. The down side of all this is that rigid suspensions do not absorb shocks and road irregularities all that well. As a result, some of these will be transferred to the chassis,which causes vibrations felt in the cabin.

Your seat problem is probably due to poor assembly. Common in Bolehland workmanship! That can be easily fixed by SC.

I kena bang at the back while driving my wife's Myvi. OMG.....even the rear axle have to change! The only good thing with Perodua is, all parts readily available. Car was fixed and delivered in 3 weeks!

I doubt it,everything is so flimsy! New Proton's have much better safety standards!

Non SC price:
Din 66 - $320
b/pads - $300


If the screeching noise is while braking,most likely worn pads. Have a look at the brake disc. if you can see circular groves,then definitely worn pads. You might have to change disc also. Since you say your car only 5 months old, i doubt it's the pads. Good idea to check at other SC.

The noise is not normal for Peugeot, or any car for that matter. My Pug is exactly 3 years old this month. I'm still on my original brake pads and disc. No noise when braking.

From the photos, your disc are in good shape, which means the pads are not worn. It's really difficult to say what is wrong without a physical inspection. I suspect NAZA is using cheap quality brake pads. Especially since SC can't find anything wrong! Due to heavy discounts,they are probably cutting corners. As I said I'm still on original pads and after 3 years still working well,but then I paid premium price,buying the car upon initial release.

You probably can solve it by changing to better quality pads.

Oh I see. You are probably the best person to tell us the quality of customer service. Has the problems you reported been successfully solved. Did they attend to the problems timely. Are you satisfied with their level of service. If not what improvements you expect.

You still got 2 years warranty,claim from Inc,right!

I also will end Nasim claim next week. Managed to put in claim for air-con and door hinge last week. Actually had these 2 problems for the last 6 months. Thought better put in the claim before 3 year warranty ends! Not sure if these are covered on Inc plan. Had the problems diagnosed last week.

The claims so far:

1. Coolant temp. sensor - solved
2. Air-con compressor noise - waiting parts
3. Door hinge ( driver side ) - waiting parts

Very satisfied with the car. In 3 years, no engine or gb problems, still runs well and smooth gears!

Tks for the heads up. Any idea if the HPFP is claimable after the 3rd year? If not I might as well start to source for the pump! Appreciate if you could post the part number.

Seremban SC office staff, really blur, very poor English, Bahasa also not that good! I am going to have a hard time trying to find out details. Better I speak to the mechanics,got 2 new young and energetic chaps joined recently.


Typical SC chari makan! My major service ( 50Kkm ) took only 4 hrs, those items not on my bill.
