That pug was stolen as part of a housebreaking case and the car was conveniently used as a getaway car since the key was available. I assure you no self-respecting thief wants to steal your Pug so you are safe.

Seriously? Your Pug is horrendously expensive to maintain without a warranty and you want to void it? Better cling to your warranty like gold!

Didnt say i was gonna. Was referring to the bluetooth OBD2 device....

Hi,
Can some1 pls tell me what the indicator mean?

Hi Guys,

Any 408T here had a timing chain change before? My car show a engine fault error and the error code is P0016: Synchronization.

After diagnostic by Balakong SC, the cause is the timing chain, which need to be changed. Price quoted is pretty high so want to make sure it will solve the issue by asking members in this forum. Was informed the warranty wouldn't cover the timing chain cost.

Mileage is approx. 113,000km and a June 2012 car.

No problems, its just the environment and service personnel doesnt meet my expectation of a Peugeot SC, unlike CSL & Pandan SC. Its a personal preference thing.

Will try Kajang SC next.

Halfway getting away the car kwan sooi. how?
That time these robbers really Hilux Sportivo TRD lor!!

You are right, I had the same feeling. So decided to use them just for normal service. Their volume is low, so not a long waiting period for appointments as in the Klang Valley. Recently when I had air con problem, thought of taking it to Glenmari. Again a long waiting period for appointment and was running out of the 3 year warranty.

Decided to just have Seremban SC log in the problem before the 3yers warranty ends. To my pleasant surprise they managed to diagnose the problem and order the parts. Finally my air con was fixed within 2 weeks.
At Glanmeri, getting an appointment may be 2months.

They are improving and volume is increasing. Won't be surprised they'll have to upgrade to a better place soon. More mechanic are already employed. They seem competent.

no more warranty?

looks like coolant level to me

After I test driven the 408 I can feel the performance especially when turbo kicked in
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?

Need a bit more info to make comments.

What engine rev & speed were u when releasing throttle? Were u applying brakes lightly, hard or none?

Engine braking does not deploy during normal driving,ie moderate driving attitudes, as in city driving mostly. It may deploy upon hard driving attitudes!

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.

Hi SKY

Which SC resolve your air cond faulty? mine having sound each time i acccelerate
Thanks

Hi ATEC
Yes that's exactly the problem I had, a rattling noise during acceleration! Actually if you start your car and stand near the engine, you'll hear the noise in about 10 sec. time. A faulty bearing in the aircon causes this noise. I was told it's a common problem on the 408T. It could be bad qc on a batch of aircon bearings.

I got mine fixed at Seramban SC.

Does this means the bearing does not last for a long period? lucky its stil under warranty.how much the cost of it?

Hi all,

Just my really horrible experience with the overall SC experience with Peugeot and would like some advise from brothers and sisters who are enjoying our Lion.


I bought a second hand 408T during this year CNY, about February 2015. Everything was awesome with some issues lingering around such as air cond not cold and weird smell in the car, everything else was okay.. As I saw the service is supposed to be done on October 2014 but the agent did not went for the service, I quickly brought my car to the SC. As it was my first time owning a Lion, i did not know I need to make an appointment for servicing.. so I called and they told me it is going to take a month only reach my turn.. So, instead of going to the Blue Box in glenmarie, I decided to bring it a try to the Setia Alam SC as it only requires 2 days in advanced appointment. When I brought it over, they told me my extended warranty could be voided, but I told them it wasn't my fault as I bought it that time, I even checked with Peugeot and they told me its okay because it was previous owner's fault. So happily I told the Setia Alam SC the problem that I was facing such as air cond not cold and weird odor, then they promised me they will be fixing it. When I go and collect my car, they told me they fixed it already. They say the gas was enough and no need to add more, and sure cold already now, and they changed the cabin filter already sure no smell now. BUT! The moment I switched on the car, everything was the same. I paid RM2500++ for the service, everything still same! I asked the person in charge what was going on, they say give the car few days the smell and air cond sure okay edi. I waited a week still the same. Tak boleh tahan, I brought my car to an external aircond servicing shop, in 5 sec the mechanic told me gas langsung not enough, and the cabin filter is so dirty. So I say nvm cabin filter I change it with SC next time, but add gas first. After adding gas, immediately air cond cold already. Tak boleh lah the Setia Alam SC, tak boleh kerja punya. Lied to me that gas was enough and after few days the aircond will be cold. The fact that I trusted them also make me feel super stupid.

Fast forward till May 2015, I realized the air cond again is not cold already. I suspected cooling coil busted so brought the car to Glenmarie (because I don't trust Setia Alam anymore) for emergency diagnosis. They took the car, 1 day later called me and say the O-Ring loose already, nothing wrong with cooling coil. So they fixed the O-Ring and settled, the air cond is back in action.

Fast forward again till last week, 13/8/2015, I realized some noise coming out from the aircond there again. This time I super scared, cus it sounds like the compressor got some problem already. Finally today I am free, 18/8/2015, I brought my car to Glenmarie again to diagnose, mana tau they say need to leave my car there 3 days for DIAGNOSIS only, repair haven't include. Nvm, I just check with them if repair compressor or change usually need how much, they say SUPER EXPENSIVE. So i quickly ask them about my warranty that they promised that it is still viable. They checked in the system and with the claim department, come back and tell me sorry sir, your extended warranty has been voided so you will have to pay. Walao, immediately I ask that person why told me differently the last time? Then they say after reviewing and stuffs, cannot approve. @$#^%#& seriously . I stormed out from Glenmarie Blue Box and brought my car to a close mechanic that I knew for long time. He diagnose it in 10 minutes, and tells me, the last time when I brought my car to fix, got touch the O-Ring? I told him the last time fixing it was because O-Ring loosen. He tells me, the O-Ring they fixed already, but no add oil back! Now the compressor hancur already because of that! And, the cabin filter that they promised to change also no change, so dirty and smelly! Thats why odor so bad! OMG man. I can't handle the heat already straight away called up Glenmarie and demanded an explanation. Know what they say? The person in charged of your car previously left already, no longer workng with us, so we also don't know what is going on. Maybe you bring your car back, wait us diagnose for few days, or 1 week, only we can know what happened. But any repair cost will still be bear by MYSELF!


I will never return to their SC anymore. So many people has been complaining about their aircond and Peugeot being a car that is easily spoiled and stuffs. Now I know why! Because their mechanics are not experts and they are even lazy to open up the whole thing to look at it! ALl they did was looking at the book that has been given, follow the book, and do it only.

I know it might be a little bias given that I was voicing out from my personal point of view, but I just want to get some advise on whether how else can I get a good explanation from Nasim and also see whether anyone else has the same horrible experience that I did.

I don't think that's the case. Although this problem is common, not everyone is having this problem. I think it's only a certain batch or qc has been not that tight.



Bro ginolee
Sorry to hear about your problems. To be factual, Peugeot France is very sticky about warranty. They will void warranty if any one service is missed or delayed. They are not bothered whos fault it is! With this I don't know how people here can tell you warranty is valid when the former owner has missed a service date.

Anyway, in your case better you get your aircon serviced by a mechanic you are confident. I suggest you find a mechanic to service your car and don't bother about SC. Now there are a few Peugeot workshops in Klang valley already. You will get better service and less cost.

Btw the way, do let us know the contact of any good Peugeot workshop you find.
