QUOTE(vknight @ Aug 26 2014, 12:41 PM) Ok guys. Moment of truth. Going to make the booking for 408 TE Blue. Any last minute suggestion and concerns from my friends here? Also my SA is giving Wingard tinting. Any review on this tint though was preferring other brands. Very keen to put the OEM Touch Screen from peugeot. Wont void warrant. Where got concerns? - almost all regulars here have been pushing turbo - I got no more friend already. believe you would have the delivery checklist already to go through with SA when you collect the car. You got chance to test the navi system? - heard it's not very likeable - please share cause I am keen also.

just done my 40k service at glenmarie. damage is RM691.95. Using Total Oil.
my issues of car jerking during idle is fixed wit ecu reset (thats what the SA says la....lets see how next few days)
2nd issue of brake making screeching sound is from the brake servo. That one will be change next week. No parts now. Still under warranty.
Overall is ok at Glenmarie. Can be much better in time management. My appointment at 9.30am and they only took my car at 11.30am. SA much more attentive to the problems that previous in Kota Damansara. Got free hot drinks and sandwich.

QUOTE(lowpro @ Aug 26 2014, 11:46 AM) 'depollution' is a term used by peugeot to denote an error which causes the car to emit excessive emissions above the set amounts/limits as defined by the car's ecu. so, in essence, it can mean anything that goes wrong that causes the exhaust to sense excessive toxic emissions. some causes could be wrong fuel used, malfunctioning spark plugs, turbo problems, use of wrong viscosity oil, leaks in the induction system and so on and so forth. but in the prince, the key reasons for the 'depollution' term to pop up can be traced to a few key causes. do note, it does appear in other non-turbo models as well but for other reasons. hope this helps. lowpro....as per your last sentece, What are the few key causes for the "depollution' to pop up??? Thanks....

Same price as NA but u like smooth ride instead of hard ride  Still checking out lah bro. Dunno if buy from outside any problem. Rather change it at peugeot centre. Can check how much at ure centre huh. Mine CSL This post has been edited by vknight: Aug 26 2014, 05:51 PM

QUOTE(light_up @ Aug 26 2014, 12:30 PM) which will be painful to look for spare part in the futureĀ  I don't think spares will be a problem. I believe all 1.6THP for Pugs very soon will be EP6CDTM. Although after 2016 new breed of engines will roll out of PSA, spares for EP6CDTM will continue. Infact it will get cheaper to maintain this engine cos many OEM parts will be available. I believe you'll be able to buy parts from Alibaba.com cheaply. After warranty Alibaba.com will probably turn out my best friend....hehehe! For example, a turbo unit cost around $16K as Nassim. Alibaba sells the same unit for 500pounds! This post has been edited by SKYjack: Aug 26 2014, 05:53 PM

Sexy chics are never cheap,more so if they are French! DS3 Racing!!!! The black and orange is a killer color combo....I think it looks soooooo much better than the 208GTi....Which i almost bought before finally deciding on 408T.....But no regrets la....Loving it....especially after some minor mods now..... By the way....Do you guys know if our car has a ATF/Transmission cooler??? Is the fan infront of the radiator for cooling the tranny as well??? Actually, everytime after turning off the car, the fan will still run for awhile....what is it doing actually?? Cooling the turbo ah?? Thanks....

QUOTE(khaidzar @ Aug 18 2014, 12:49 PM) thanks bro SKYjack anyway this mechanic location in jb or kl ?? btw SC Peugeot ask me to change the brake pad and they quote me 4++ which i think outside will be much more cheaper Hi, I just changed my front brake pad last weekend. Recommended by the mechanic who changed my tyres. Only RM295 per set. Locally made. Haven't got the chance yet to test the brake at high speed but so far no different from stock brake pad during city driving.
