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?

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.

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.

Har… don't scare me… which SC u went to ?

here is the method to reset memory in the gearbox..

1. turn the car key to initial (don't start the car)
2. In "P" mode, press the "S" button. you active the sport mode and you will see "S" symbol on the odometer.
3. Now press 4 times gas pedal (fully).
4. After that deactivate sport mode.
5. Start the car.
6. Finish

I will test it first, will update here later on

Really??? I thought it was:

1) Make sure car completely shut down (fan stops and the odometer is off as well)
2) Floor the accelarator all the way until u hear a "click" sound and hold it there for 15secs
3) Done.

So which is which??? *confused*

the method that you mentioned, its works..

I just think to try others method :-)

For NA,  SC either use Synthium 1000 15W/50 or Total Quartz 9000 INEO ECS 5W30.

I wonder why they used Syntium 800 on mine. That's what it says in my receipt and the total cost was only RM200.70, which was cheaper than expected.

I didn't feel any difference while driving though. In fact, after using a 15 year old pick up truck for a week, my car felt smooth and powerful. Lol.

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.

Service center diagnosed the cause of the problem saying that there is a problem with the drive shaft.

Light_up, that most probably due to sensor. its happend to me before and SC will add on another sensor to solve it.

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

huh? this is not normal ah? my temp only sits at 90 (no fluctuate)... isnt that normal??

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.
