This problem mentioned before but I cant remember which post - my record is at office. Where are the sifus and experienced forerunners, jfcheong, bro skyjack, etc?

Ya, I drive NA. I think you are thinking about high pressure in power steering issue, right ? I dont think it is... we can eliminated the noise for power steering when turning, we may try change the power steering oil to electronic ATF (same oil used in 408 1.6T)

My case is, the noise (jijiji) are happened when go straight, road condition not good, and etc. I think caused by joint between exhaust pipe and engine block

So bro chenglong, after switching the steering oil, the sound reduced to "when go straight, and road condition not good"? No more sound when turning?

Me too. It's most audible after 130. Funny thing is its getting worse for me. Today I can hear not only wind noise but the noise from the water on the road. All this only from the drivers side door. I'm gonna complain during my service tomorrow.

You have changed the power steering fluid before? Own cost?

The noise when turning steering, i think we can change ATF oil (using ATF oil as 1.6T) to reduce/ eliminate noise..I havent change ATF oil yet, i wait next service...

For (jijiji, cra cra) noise, i think the joint between exhaust pipe and engine block caused..

no..I wait next service...

I dont know about the "jijijijiji" or "cra cra cra" sound, but previously my car got "tak tak tak" sound wheb turning the steering. SC said they tighten my steering rack and column and shaft. Now all ok.

Noted. Tomorrow send to SC to checks...will do update again.

You wind down the windows then You try to clean surrounding windows rubber using wet cloth...that rubber is dust collector...

Our NA is hydraulic power assisted steering, whereas 408T is using electro hydraulic power assisted steering. I'm not sure if NA can use the same steering fluid for Turbo. Please update once you have checked with SC.

As for my case, on straight road, the steering don't have the yiyiyi sound (as if electric sound). It only happens when making a turn either to the left or right. Turning when is on low speed, I don't hear it on some occasions.

I am more concern if the steering gives a tak tak tak sound.

after doing that will rectify the problem right? they didn't change your water pump right?

i've sent mine for checking today, sc can't find any problem, also my car is not showing any symptom again, maybe wait until the sensor kaput then only go sc again

I experienced the same with two former cars Proton and Vios, when turning right or left, I am almost certain it's got to do with the steering.

Second time that my 408T died on me. First time was 5 months back when mileage was 8K. Currently happened at 18K.

No warning signs or whatsoever. Car was at Neutral and then suddenly the rpm kept fluctuating between 500-800, car was vibrating and at this point of time, engine was not responsive (not moving even when i stepped the accelerator). Engine died 20 seconds later.

Moved my car to the side of the road and tried to start the car again but it couldn't start. After few tries it started up, but something was wrong with the car as the car kept jerking whenever i step on the accelerator.

Called careline to tow back to glenmarie. Already 2nd time so nothing special to me. Sigh..

After the first time having this problem, SC rectified problem by replacing fuel pump. Now it happened again.

Hi hongjoo
Hmmmm ur case abit similar v my previous problem, but mine is NA
after 4 days investigate they found is air intake issue. Maybe you can check v them.
It Happened after 10k service, now my car is 40k.

I complained during the service today. They acknowledged the issue and said the rubber guide around the window and another rubber seal is faulty. Parts have been ordered. Additionally my driver seat is loose too. Moves slightly during acceleration and braking. They said its a faulty seat frame. That too has been ordered pending parts availability.

Now i gotta leave my car at the SC for 2 days once the parts arrive.
Is there any way to get a courtesy car? This is my only car and there's no public transport where I live.

good outcome there.. may I know which SC..

Glenmarie. They did test the car. Then I watched from the waiting area as they tried to figure out what was wrong in the workshop area. They noticed the rubber seal that I purchased from our bro EP6CDTM but didn't say anything....so that's good.

Hey guys, what engine oil was used for 408 NA? They used Syntium 800 which is a semi-synthetic oil for my service. Is this right?
