You are right, Inc Co always tend to bully us to fork out more one way or the other. When it comes to right off claim, Inc co will rivet to market value cos that is lower. In fact they do state claims to be based on insured value or market value, which ever is lower!

Have your car valued independently and I'd use this value. If there is a claims dispute, you have a figure to fall back that was valued by an independent source.

Hey you are most welcome! I'm on Autograde. It's a Japanese product. Raytech should be good,go for it!

I'd get the TS and do leather covers outside. Have never been interested on body kit and stuff. I tell you the additional 14K is cheap for the advanced tech stuff you'll get on this car. Read my post some time back, my rough estimate for the extras is about 70K. 14K for all that stuff is pittance. Look at the brochure and list all the extras on the TS. Do you think they cost 14K?

Some of our bros actually regret not getting the 408t!

For the benefit of our bros to be who are undecided or unsure of their choice over NA/Ts/THP

Ts/THP is direct injection turbo charged engine,which is inherently more costly to build.
On this engine, fuel is directly injected into each cylinder. This requires 4 separate injectors,one placed into each cylinder. Injectors have to be built of very hard and strong material to withstand combustion temperatures and pressures. Fuel is delivered via a common rail by a powerful hp pump. Turbo and intercooler give it more HP.

To handle this extra power, front brakes are larger. Sports tuned suspension with wider tyres has raised the bar on handling, even more expensive contis can't match.

These alone are already more than 14K. These are only half the extra technology stuff on this car,there's more! There is 6spd tranny, 6air-bags,,elector-hydraulic steering and various electronic safety features. Don't forget the non technology stuff like leather covers,body kit,GPS!

Question now , is the Ts worth additional 14K or THP additional 20K! Choice is your bros!

Honestly if comfort is the priority, then forget Peugeot, there are other C segment cars which are far superior!

No offense meant!

You are right,Focus is the only contender for handling. Focus with 200nm is much lower on torque than 408t with 240nm. That is expected as the Focus is NA.

I have taken my car up to 200kmh, the car rides stable and planted. Steering feel and feedback are positive and excellent. Of course our roads are not safe for such high speeds. It's not something i would recommend, nor do I regularly visit!

Tks for sharing bro.

@lowpro
I notice ATF is Mobile. I believe this fluid is available at spare parts shops. What was the hype about the fluid being sourced from Japan?

Each service is about $450. So up to 40K service, cost is $1800. Total, adding 50K service would be roughly $3560/-.

You might have missed my post on why the 1.6T is worth every cent. You are actually getting much more than what you are paying. Handling is as good as contis costing 3 time the price,engine is delightful with decent torque,tranny silky smooth!

However if the additional 20K or 14K is beyond your budget, then the NA is certainly a very good buy. Buy this car if you have the passion for Pugs. They are different, they are unique! They bring a special distinction to driving.

I'm not going to say Peugeot Blue box are great SC,but there are much worst SCs. You should read the horror stories. Nasim is making huge effort,of course there's room for improvement.

If warranty over,for battery change, do not got to any SC. Changing battery on Pugs involves a little bit more than normal. Any capable mechanic can do it, the savings can be $200/-. Yes, SC will charge $500 while outside battery shops charge $300.

Ridiculously priced. All citroen/peugeot are familiar with AL4 gearbox oil. It is esso not mobil. And it costs RM90 for 2 litres. RM180 for 4 litres. To charge rm674 and rm500 for labor are just daylight robbery.

We've gone well ahead. AL4 gb on Citroen & Peugeot are years behind!

Anyone can confirm if they do the flush and fill,not just drain and fill. My 50K service is next!

Tks bro,appreciate that!

Drain is not 100% empty, there's always some oil left behind. Flush is complete empty, in theory 100%.

Congrats on your new Lion bro! I'm sure you are going to enjoy this car.

Yes proper tyre air pressure does improve comfort. The right air pressure is 2.5/3 bars,depending on load. However 408t will still ride a bit harsh or bumpy, comparatively, something you'll have to get used to. This is due to it's sports tuned suspension. The positive aspect of this is superb handling,unmatched by even more expensive Contis!

Careful.....this babe is additive.

How long does the SC take on this job. Booked 14th of this month at Glanmrie for this. Mine fluctuates between 70 - 90.

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,just to give a basic insight on your problem.

ECU is the heart and soul of engine operation. It is responsible for the entire engine operation from startup to final shut down. The engine will run, based on driver's command and feedback from various sensors at the engine and gearbox, which continually interact with ECU.

Any failure of component or sensor can cause ECU to shut down the engine. It can prevent further engine start or permit start after cooldown. On these high technology engines,there are numerous senores.

I am positive the drive shaft has nothing to do with your engine shut down!

I have not seriously looked at the EW10A engine,but I believe it to be the same. NA bro's can confirm! My former NA, Bimer E46 was running at 90,I think most Contis do!

That's good,I'll take along my Ipad and hang around at the waiting room.

You may have defective steering sensor or control box. Processed signals to the hydraulic actuator is erroneous.
