When I plugged in a 2GB thumb drive into the car's usb, the player kept on loading & loading but didn't play the mp3's. However when I used a 250MB thumb drive, it played the songs on the drive!

What's the biggest thumb drive recognised by the car's player? Nowadays the smallest drive that I can find is 8GB - how lah? smile.gif

I am using 32GB, no issue at all

You want your Lion to bite a bit more la.....hehehe biggrin.gif enjoy biggrin.gif !

How about remap the ECU, 200hp/275nm.  You'll be Lion King among us. Only problem is void warranty!
*
Coz i feel more control while shifting gear manually, not only for power performance, for controlling also, or smoothness.

I ady feel like hand itchy wanna remap jor.. haha, dont tempt me.
Just claimed water pump last week, claiming another side mirror motor, seems like i need to stick to the warranty till 5th year.

If high top-up volume is required, isn't it better to top-up with coolant-water mix cause otherwise may result in over dilution of original coolant?
*
Yes. Over topup with battery water will dilution ur coolant.
The ultimate solution is send ur car for checkup.

I’m in the same shoe with vknight, been following this thread for almost a year and finally made my booking for Peugeot 408T due to the attractive promotion.  rclxms.gif The reason of the lower price is because there is now an additional 408T model (they call it standard spec) with difference such as the replacement of leather seat with fabric seat, no Euro kit, no Melbourne series rim etc. I went with the standard model (RM10k cheaper) as I find fabric seat to be more comfortable than the leather seat. Just wondering, anyone install the Euro Kit outside market? Any price indication and recommendation of shops? It’s also a pity I’m stuck with the 2.0 variance rim, find it very dull looking.  cry.gif

I’ve seen some bad ownership experience with 408 so I am aware getting a Peugeot sounds like a big bet. Should do some praying before getting my ride. Still, I agreed the car is a poison to drive. I was instantly poisoned by the 308T when I first test drove it 3 years ago…  drool.gif  I’m glad I’m settling down with 408 which is more comfortable and reliable. Hope I’m right!

Looking forward to my lion!  icon_rolleyes.gif

Look for ryujinx if you keen on the EuroKit

yours running low mileage also...good to hear that your car did not give u much problem..as for me..water pump still a normal issue..better than VW that have many big issue in their SC. I did call NAZA Solution for the DVD Player that fit to griffe..it cost RM 4500... sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Ya. I did check with Naza on this player also, crazy price at Rm4.5k
Aftermarket OEM cost less than Rm2k, perhaps Rm2.5 for a decent one.

Am interested, pm price please? Do I need the spacer as I thought mine should come with it right? Also, is it possible to trade in my new rim with outside tyre shop then ask them to fit in yours?
*
I dont recommend to trade in your ori rim to tyre shop, as they provide low value only.
Maybe you can consider to keep for future use.

Eh!  Is the Temperature Sensor on the 408s are still an issue?
Very problematic my friend said.  His 408 temp sensor, changed twice...still problem!!!!
How come this sensor not reliable one?    vmad.gif

I believe the temp sensor is problematic.
Few members here claimed before.
Mine also giving problem.

My temp used to be always 90'c chun chun, but now running between 80'c and 90'c, complaint to SC, SC reply this is ok as long as not over 90'c. Refuse to change for me.

Will cont monitor this and see how is it.
