It has been quite some time I made my presence here. I do come to this thread now and then but it's growing so fast that I gave up reading each and every post.

Yes, initially I was thinking the same thing. Which is why I went to AXA panel workshop without hesitation once I knew that most of Pug service center are panel for Kurnia. But at the workshop they ask me about the sensors attached to the windscreen and then I panicked and want to confirm my warranty status if I change the windscreen outside. Anyway, I've PMed Peugeot through their facebook and they ask me to call the customer service no.

Sorry but I would still like to seek clarification regarding the windscreen warranty. Anyone done any windscreen replacement outside and could confirm that Peugeot still retain the warranty?

I think you ought to go SC best at Glenmarie (cosndiered Nasim HQ) to clarify this, question on warranty preservation is always delicate and we may not be able to give you an answer that makes you sleep sound

Worst come to worst, you may need to talk to bpth your insurer and SC about getting it done at SC where the insurance will pay the damage repairing/replacement cost and since it is done at SC, warranty should be intact

AFAIK, warranty does not cover all wear n tear items, like light bulbs, tyres, etc. But a windscreen with sensors removal and re-installation is not wear and tear....

Speaking of which how was your front windscreen tinting done?, circumventing your rain and light sensor or WAS THERE some sort of sensor removal and re-installation work done?

While we at the issue of warranty void, i seriously wanna know how this thing works. Do they void just the parts and the related parts, or the entire car's warranty?

Example, if someone modify suspensions, then if brakes got problem can claim? If engine got problems can claim? Or they just void those parts that is related to the suspension system??

Coz i find it rather confusing on how they verify the claims. If say someone modify suspension, then engine got probs or gearbox got prob, then SC say cannot claim coz warranty void, i think thats quite shitty right? I mean, what does the suspension has anything to do with the engine??

To be very frank, those you are mentioning are grey area. Some SC will just ignore and proceed to submit claim on behalf of you, but some just being very unreasonable.
My advise is not to do any modification until your warranty is out. Not enjoy the car as it is 1st bro. If not, any modification, you will need to bear the consequences by yourself.

I agree with you. But honestly, shouldnt the warranty void be only related to the parts related to the modify parts? Instead of like the whole car. Hahahahahah. Coz honestly, its really damn stupid if like someone's warranty for engine or gb is void, coz he change suspension or he put some ICE.

I totally agree. But then, due to the dealership, a lot of hassle for them to do special request or special "kam ching".

Hi guys.

Anyone know any difference does it make to the car when you off ESP function by pushing the button at dashboard?

I noticed two things though
1. The ESP can only remain off in less than one minute
2. ESP button have no effect when drving in M mode. Not sure if this means that ESP is either always ON or OFF in M mode.

Fine.

I do know what is ESP ok. And its NOT "ESPecially".

Other sports car also have ESP but can be disabled as well but not sure if those car can only disable in only less than 1 minute.

Nevermind. Im asking politely. Was expecting better respond from the so called experienced user here. At least can help to verify if got the same symptom as mine.

Its OK. Dont bother to discuss this issue further. Tq.

Tks for the info.

Why not let the SC change the windscreen and claim from whatever inc co the owner has bought the inc from? Saves all the hassle and warranty headache!

I plan to insure Rm4k for windscreen, premium is Rm600.
I doubt our 408 has such a high second hand value. Lolx
I saw on web, a 2013 408T is selling at Rm86k.

I assume RV and market value to be the same. If RV is $86K,then what's the point in insuring higher? In case of a total write off claim, the Inc Co will consider market value!

Which means they bully us to insure for higher amount. When it comes to pay out by them, the lower figure is used. The Inc Co always use lower of insured value and market value.

According to this report from France----Long live 408!!!

For quite awhile I was wondering 408 model will be retained when new PSA Peugeot Citroen CEO, Carlos Tavares stated in his [Back in the Race] turnaround plan that he wants the Peugeot brand to focus on a smaller range, with its lineup reduced to 16 models by 2018 from 25 now and to 13 models by 2022.

Today French's Les Echos reported the brand(Peugeot) will retain the 108 in the minicar segment; the 208 and 2008 in the subcompact segment; the 301 sedan, 308 hatchback and wagon, the 3008, 408 and the RCZ in the compact segment; and the 508 and 5008 in the mid-sized segment.

The Peugeot spokesman also said the company plans to retain the 4008, crossover which is based on the Mitsubishi ASX.

I was happy when I read this coz obviously 408 is a model that can work and sell wherever they are sold...and happy at the same time , we are the first gen 408 owners. Long live 408!!!

Mine bank did it for me bcoz its for loan processing (2nd hand car) and they quoted 90k. Insurance under takaful malaysia.

Normally i will do insurance by myself using Motor Takaful online where i can choose my own sum insured.

Either way, we have the right to choose our own desired sum insured. Can disagree with the ins. co. value quoted. But of course there will be a minimum value set or else some people might as well go for rm10k just to ensure they can renew roadtax at low cost.

When we install this multimedia unit, can we still able to control the volume balance between rear and front speakers?

I find this function on the original player very useful for long distance travel. Set speaker loudest at front so that my kids can sleep better at the rear and i wont fall asleep at front while driving 'alone'.

Eighth Consecutive International Engine of the Year Award for PSA Peugeot Citroën

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2014--
Regulatory News:

The 16(th) International Engine of the Year Awards were held on 25 June at the 2014 Engine Expo in Stuttgart, Germany. At this latest ceremony, PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG) won its eighth consecutive Award in the 1.4 to 1.8-litre category.

Presented by the specialised UK magazine Engine Technology International, the prestigious Award once again honours the 1.6-litre direct-injection turbo petrol engine developed in cooperation with BMW Group.

Belonging to the Prince engine family, the 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine is offered in 155 hp and 200 hp versions and has recently been launched in a 270 hp version to equip the new Peugeot RCZ R.

Featuring the latest technologies, including direct injection, variable valve timing, a volume flow-controlled oil pump and an on-demand water pump, this engine improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions by around 10% compared with the previous generation.

Manufactured at the Française de Mécanique plant in Douvrin in the Pas-de-Calais, the various versions of this engine constitute the core of the Peugeot and Citroën petrol lineup, alongside the new generation of EB PureTech 3-cylinder engines.

On this occasion, Christian Chapelle, Vice President Powertrain and Chassis Engineering said: "This award serves as wonderful recognition of the technological advances that PSA Peugeot Citroën's R&D teams are making on petrol engines manufactured in France. It attests to the qualities of this 1.6-liter engine, especially the 200 hp version developed in cooperation with BMW, which is particularly superior in terms of drivability and fuel economy."

About the International Engine of the Year Award

Organised by Engine Technology International magazine, the International Engine of the Year award is one of the automotive industry's most sought-after accolades. It is judged by an international panel of 84 renowned motoring journalists from 34 countries, who apply their impressions from driving the latest model cars. These tests enable them to rank the powerplants offering the best driveability, performance and fuel economy, as well as the successful application of advanced engine technology.

Naza has dropped price of 408t to $115K,this will have an effect on RV. Used 408t,less than a year old(2014 model) is going for $98K.

Taking all this inconsideration, $90K may be right.

As long as you are not intending to sell your car any time soon,don't worry about drop in RV.

108K is a bit high. I would ask for 100K, since new price and RV have dropped!

On 2nd year,I insured my car at 110K,but at that time new price was 129K.

Was told by the French, all the 1st grade engineers get absorbed by Aviation sector. 2nd grade look for jobs outside France. 3rd grade join the Automotive industry. Still bloody damn good for 3rd standard!

The free LED doesnt fit to our headlamp. Kaki tak sama. Perhaps interior can fit? Not sure.

After i pasang the new bulb, i did ask my friend to try, i follow behind his car, asked him if it too glare? He said OK, so i just ignore.

Opps, tersilap. I tot you said the old bulb. The free bulb is actually for our 3rd break light. Keep it and see if your 3rd break light needs bulb replacement or not lor.

I am actually thinking to buy NBU for the main light (high beam). LOL!

Crystal Vision 4300k. Diamond is 5000k.

But i read somewhere the limit is 5000k max. But then some say there is no limit to halogen, only apply to HID. I also dont know la. Just do first la. Then later see how. Plus, if you never change your side lamps, it will still bring some yellow-ness to you white halogen. So i guess pretty much is ok la.

Agree about the rain part. Thats why i on fog lights during rain. But then again, 4300k - 5000k, i dont think is that "white" also. Thats just what i see ler. Like my 4300k, say is white, but i use already is not that white ler. Couple with the yellow side lamps, makes the white not really white. Maybe coz my headlamp is smoked, so not so obvious the white?? Im just guessing ler. But anyways, thats just humble my opinion from my own experience ler... icon_rolleyes.gif

210? How's that even possible. I'm asking about top speed because best I'm able to hit is 170. It sort of maxes out at that point even though there's still RPMs left. I was able to hit 190 on my old Vios so I'm wondering what's wrong here.

i did it on the way to singapore while 180kph is easy cruising on the lekas. on a recent trip to ipoh with a few other 408T owners, the 2.0 could keep up but it did not have the explosive acceleration to burst away. then, we have traffic to even things out wink.gif

180kph is easy cruising? I don't wanna know what's your definition of pushing it.
Good to know the 2.0 can reach those speeds. smile.gif Now I gotta go figure out how to coax mine.
Maybe its because its still very new? Haven't even reached first service yet.

If JPJ stop u and accuse you of using HID, just pop your hood and show them you got no ballast for the HID.
5000k is a bit yellowish white, not pure white. 6000k above only can see pure white light

180kph is easy cruising? I don't wanna know what's your definition of pushing it.
Good to know the 2.0 can reach those speeds.  smile.gif  Now I gotta go figure out how to coax mine.
Maybe its because its still very new? Haven't even reached first service yet.

don't kill your new car! its too new to be doing those speeds. chill and go slow till it is run in nicely. i know there will be differing views on how to run in a car but for me, i'd prefer to take it slow... maybe not more than 140kph ~ 150kph when before the first service at 10,000km. take it easy, lots of time to run your car later on.

210 is properly insane. I thought our malaysian highways are not sufficiently flat for you to drive at those speeds without your knuckles turning white

the 2.0 does feel a little floaty at that speed. wonder how the turbo with stiffer and lower suspension feels.

Turbo feels planted and stable. I must admit, at 200kmh my old E46 felt a bit more solid! However as it's not safe to drive at those speeds on Malaysian highways, it's not my regular visit. It's the advanced tech and superb handling on this car that I enjoy more than break neck high speed!

It felt very floaty for me but the roads weren't exactly smooth either. Never tried those speeds on smoother roads.

No symptom at all man. On that particular morning, I start my car, then I straight away feel that the engine is losing the power. Then dashboard give error message.

I will suggest that the spark plug should be change on your 30k service. Else, you will be taking very high risk for this situation. Sianz. Charged me RM200 ++ just to change the spark plug. Coil was under warranty.

I have done 22000 km with my 408T. Just arrived k.tganu from penang via simpang pulai-gua musang-tasik kenyir-KT.. no problem with my lion except battery kong at the mileage of 21000km..hu2.. luckily..kuala kangsar has good batt shop service.. 'friendly' speed trial with my fren's E60 525 on PLUS hgway...the only where he could lead is when the speedometer hit 210kmh..then bigger cc speaks... no doubts at all...overall performance plus price tag..never regret owning this lion... just could simply smoke off other JPY cars..e.g. mitsubishi lancer 2.0, camry 2.0... but be careful while chasing naza forte 2.0... it has good stability too at sharp corners...plus good acceleration even not that good as 408T..

This is just a naughty experience sharing..be safe bros...

Excellent, Lion performed exactly as expected on your friendly speed run. Torque on both cars are roughly the same.However 408t's low end 240nm torque will have an edge on acceleration. For the Bimer, the 2.5 liter engine has to get up to 4500rpm to produce the same torque.

At the top end, the 2.5L NA will have a lit bit more juice. 2liter NA will not have the torque or hp to match the 1.6THP. Sports tuned suspension on the 408t raises the bar on handling to another level. Very few actually realize this! With it's sporty handling, very easy to forget,it's a sedan you are driving, till you get out! I doubt very much if any of the cars you listed can match!

i saw an ad going around in fb, rm107k for 408T S, not sure what is S and can't find specs anywhere. It's not in peugeot.com.my either. Anyone has more info on this?

Car prices been dropping, but so far, i see them to be inferior in specs, e.g. the recent Kia cerato 1.6 for <90k but 2 air bags, no traction control? VW too, but of course, fr CBU to CKD, not to mention all the bad publicity.

any comments?

Actually I think 100K is right. This is a drop of 29K the 1st year. I insured mine at 90K, 2012 model. Just my 2 cents worth! You can do 90K, if you want, of course!

Hi guys,

I just serviced my car. Did my 10k km service. But mileage was only 6.8k km. I just want to clarify, my car is showing the spana sign and 3k km. I know that indicates that my car is due for service in 3k km. But i already did the 10k km service. Is that sign suppose to be there still? Should i just ignore it?

Thank you very much.

hi, all lion tamer here. wan to share my unlucky experience.
ytd, my 408t suddenly jerking and stop engine when driving. So park at road side and check for any warning log appear, but no.
Then i start the engine but it can drive for around 20m but jerkier and stop itself without any error shown. Since it was about 300m to my house, so i repeat this stupid action to bring my lion home.
Just bought food from bazar ramahdan, doubt my lion cant tahan with it. Isn't my lion fasting?

Had call careline and they came to tow my lion to CSL sc ytd night.
SC had called me about problem and will let me know after inspection.

Thx for yours opinion about this.

my NA is having abit of irritating issue, while battery strength is ok, find the ignition often cannot set on with first key twist, and have to do it second time and even occasionally third time.

i have tried turned on the ignition without starting the car for 5-10 seconds until the faint 'ngeeeee....'sound goes off (system checking ) but it is still there at times.

the CSL SC was not helpful and ask me to go to Glenmarie but knowing 2 weeks in advance is required to book an appointment there, I wonder
1. if anyone has similar experience with this irritation and
2. is GeoAuto , PJ any good with this sort of thing.

CSL said they have made the report and suspect some 'air' issue, i am not sure what they meant either....

Hi guys,

My battery "kong" last week. Few days earlier, i felt something strange. The multi display screen will goes off when ignition and will on back after the ignition.
After I've changed to new battery, the multi display screen will not goes off when ignition.
So, i think this could be the signal to know your battery is weak and have to change soon.
Just to share my experience.

bro, i saw the 's' version yesterday at balakong. it is a turbo that does not have the following items:

1) body kit
2) leather upholstry
3) chrome trim on door side protector

i suppose 's' stands for standard. no special badging on this version. not sure what else is omitted but the rims are the same as the standard turbo rims.

i wonder if the floaty feel is due to torsion beam suspension as opposed to multi link /double wishbone suspension. Any thoughts if that could be it?

The 408T uses torsion beam as well but from what I heard, its not floaty. I think this floaty feeling is caused by the soft suspension setting. The NA's suspension is very soft.

my 408t with torsion beam attack corners better than my civic with double wishbone

my 408t with torsion beam can cruise at 180km/h and still feeling safe where my camry with multi link feels like it is going to take off and fly away at only 150km/h

dude, i think it's because 2.0 has softer suspension set up, and i realize my 408t has anti roll bar under the torsion beam, i'm not sure if 2.0 has it

bro, i saw the 's' version yesterday at balakong. it is a turbo that does not have the following items:

1) body kit
2) leather upholstry
3) chrome trim on door side protector

i suppose 's' stands for standard. no special badging on this version. not sure what else is omitted but the rims are the same as the standard turbo rims.
*
Tks for that feedback. This must be the watered down version of the turbo model. I guess stock clearance, making way for the facelift 408!

I heard NA alloy wheels are fitted on this model?

I'm really glad to see realization of 408t superior handling, which I have been saying all this while! thumbup.gif
This was the main aspect that drew me to seriously consider this car! Of course the turbo was like a drug pill.

my NA is having abit of irritating issue, while battery strength is ok, find the ignition often cannot set on with first key twist, and have to do it second time and even occasionally third time.

i have tried turned on the ignition without starting the car for 5-10 seconds until the faint 'ngeeeee....'sound goes off (system checking ) but it is still there at times.

the CSL SC was not helpful and ask me to go to Glenmarie but knowing 2 weeks in advance is required to book an appointment there, I wonder
1. if anyone has similar experience with this irritation and 
2. is GeoAuto , PJ any good with this sort of thing.

CSL said they have made the report and suspect some 'air' issue, i am not sure what they meant either....
*
Don't go to Geoauto,they are hopeless for anything beyond oil change! The front desk don't have capability to understand technical defects.

I think your problem may be an ECU issue. Not sure how serious it is,but it may require a simple reset.

No need send back to sc la... Waste of time... U can do it yourself to make the spanar disappear... Just search in YouTube for the video... Just press and hold the tight button on the gauge meter while turn your ignition key to "on"... The screen will start count down from 10... After that off the key and the spanar will disappear when u start your engine...

you still get the turbo rims in the watered down version. the turbo is looking like really good value now considering that the reductions are only aesthetic to get the price down as compared to what Kia did where they removed air bags and traction control of the cerato to bring the price down.

I doubt if it is possible to call up next service information, but there are sufficient programmed reminders.

The system is programed to display the spanner symbol at a predetermined time and km. The spanner will start to flash when service is overdue. If there was voice animation, will be perfect - SERVICE DUE.

This very easy to add on,may be we'll see this in the future! tongue.gif

so, by resetting yourself, the system will make the service due reminder about 9000 km away from the day you have resetted it?
can you press the service due screen to see if it look that way

okie dokie, may be NA is really too soft hence floaty biggrin.gif

well to have a huge bot space , torsion beam suspension makes it easy for the car maker while multi link makes it a challenge, so we can't have t all i guess.

After emailing clic@naza.com.my and spoken to them and consulted them, i have decided and went to Geoauto today anyway since Glenamarie can only do testing for those who show up without booking an appointment, and the nearest appointment Glenmarie can give me is August 2014 and I don't want to wait that long.

while Geoauto can still entertain me if i can go there early in the morning. by the time i reach there about 9:30 AM, it was already packed with many cars...

It turned out that my hard to ignite problem is due to faulty speed senser code 1920 EN ; description Speed sensor, DIAM 14X18 NR-Black. Now got to wait for 1-2 weeks for this parts to replace under warranty..... sad.gif

My friend is recommend me to use this battery. He claimed that this better lifespan and performance. But I look at the cover stated DIN75, I'm doubt this could void the warranty.
Then he told me that the supplier suggest that every new battery changed, we need to send our car back to service center to resetting the ecu.
Any Sifus here can advice?

stock clearance bro.

new 408 is launching 2nd half 2014 from China and mana tahu it may reach Malaysia shortly after


the new 408 is armed with more space and tech. The wheelbase has grown by 20 mm to make 2,730 mm, the longest in the segment

In the 308, the new underpinnings play a key role in the considerable weight reduction, by an average of 140 kg compared to the outgoing hatch. This should translate to a lighter 408 as well.

Peugeot may even carried over the 308′s modern, minimalist dashboard in this new 408

Under the hood is a direct-injection 1.6 THP turbocharged engine with Stop & Start technology. Dongfeng Peugeot’s move to push the new 408 upmarket means that the sedan will have full-LED headlamps, a “City Park” system and blind spot sensors, among other kit.

But the rear look, doh.gif

My guess is 140K+/-. Present 408,both NA & THP are fantastic value. Last chance to get a THP for less than $110K. This is a really enjoyable car! tongue.gif

No serious problems, some had QC issues which SC can sort out. Also note,no owner has come back saying his problem has come back again!

Many of us no issues at all,like mine 2years already! Still a healthy roar from my Lion and silky smooth gb! biggrin.gif

if only they put the 408's 'M' engine in the 308 that they are trying to clear... too bad it is just not possible.

but good to note that the 408's turbo engine has so far been generally quite dependable. this trait i am sure buyers of the revised 3008 and revised 5008 will also enjoy.

Yes very true. I was offered a red 308 facelift with 14K discount! Just looking at the car was mesmerizing. Sat in it, was pure love. Think if I didn't own my 408,would have signed on the dotted line.

It's great the M version engine slowly but surely getting on future Pugs & Citroens. I am really keen on the 2014 308. Understand it will come with M engine. Will seriously consider it in 2 years time!

Most of us feel the facelift 408 has lost it's French DNA. For me, no matter what they put in this car,I'll not give it another look ( sorry to say,sounds a bit harsh ).

I am very keen on the new 308. I read in one of the reviews,demand on this car is outstripping supply in Europe! A real winner for Peugeot.

Spread the word bro! The more ppl know the better for us. If you notice used 408 NA is on demand,hardly any available. Ppl are still unsure about the THP engine. Once they realize this engine is good,then demand will pickup, so will RV!

Most of us feel the facelift 408 has lost it's French DNA. For me, no matter what they put in this car,I'll not give it another look ( sorry to say,sounds a bit harsh ).

I am very keen on the new 308. I read in one of the reviews,demand on this car is outstripping supply in Europe! A real winner for Peugeot.

Yes very true. I was offered a red 308 facelift with 14K discount! Just looking at the car was mesmerizing. Sat in it, was pure love. Think if I didn't own my 408,would have signed on the dotted line.

It's great  the M version engine slowly but surely getting on future Pugs & Citroens. I am really keen on the 2014 308. Understand it will come with M engine.  Will seriously consider it in 2 years time!

Bro, apa itu M engine? I am a bit lost. LOL

My 2 cents, since I am driving Borassque Blue. Many of this color will have dual tone at the font part and the front hood. It is very obvious if you look at it from a near distance.
I think Aster Grey will be a better choice la in this case. Or not, tell you SA to make sure it is not dual tone baru take lor.

Hey vknight, after much thought im gonna go for the 1.6 cause the monthly only differs RM100. The offer im getting is RM10500 discount from the RM118,xxx price so its only about 108k for the 1.6 which i feel is damm worth it....

I'm not sure if that is the interior,which is exactly like the 2014 308. The photo I saw looked more like the present 408 interior with some changes,especially the steering wheel! Perhaps I might change my view if I see it for real. Photos may not bring out the best, at times!

This on the other hand is the facelift of the current car we have here. It has been facelifted a while back. Maybe as far back as 2012 (we still haven't gotten it). I think Nasim will skip this and go straight to the new model. Just guessing here.

the door panels look similar and the part where the cd player is all the way down to the transmission tunnel also look similar. major difference is the top half of the dash and the steering wheel. i think the 408 has a bigger touch screen too.

Hi Vengga.
Currently there are 3 models not including the 2.0
1. S model (109k)
2. TE - Premium (116k - 121 if u want 5 years free service)
3. Griffe (128k)

The prices on the road is in the bracket. I think your SA is ralking about the 2nd one and not griffe. The TE Model

The prices ia the best price I can get so far. I dont think griffe got discount. Griffe only 3 colours - red, white and black.

The touch screen comes with Griffe. I coildnt get any discount on this.

Bro, the colour looks vague online, gotta see the real thing. Nasim Desa Pandan has the blue in showroom but you gotta enquire cause its upstairs. Between Aster Grey, I will go for Black cause to my eyes the diff is not visible and very confusing.

if I were you, I will take the TE with 5 years free service. The reason is service fees over 5 years are around RM11k.
so in that case, you only pay 1k extra for leather seat and bodykit.
In the end, everything is inside the instalment, you just need to pay for petrol, wear and tear parts like tyres and break-pad and etc.

Just my 2 cents.

nod.gif will trade in MyV (still on loan) and keep 9-year old well-behaved Vios. Initially thought to replace Vios because servicing $ goes up but in the last half year it has been behaving very well, colleagues also commented. Don't want to spend too much also, so it makes sense to trade in the car that is still servicing loan.

BTW, I am going for NA, putting family comfort first. 10-15 years ago would have taken turbo no doubt but now mid-life already, besides I am not really a car person, at least not yet, this thread has been slowly poisoning me icon_question.gif laugh.gif But not that old lah, $50 still got change laugh.gif

true... but for me the installment is a concern.... dont want to end up paying too much monthly... the reason i want to upgrade is the safety features, which are amazing in the car and more so in the 1.6 (esp with 6 airbags)... the turbo is just a plus drool.gif

Here's more poison.

Presently there is no car to below 110K to match handling/power/comfort/spec to the THP. Difference between NA & THP is less than 15K. I did a rough costing some time back. It would cost around 70K to configure NA to THP and all the extras! But they are giving it to you for just additional 15K.

You have a chance to own and experience an advanced technology for practically pittance! This engine has won 'Europe Engine of the year award' again! Since you are slowly getting to be car person,you will regret,sometime in the future, for not getting the THP for so little!

what it looks like to you ? new 408 still use full size steering and not smaller size 308 steering (following 208), right? i cannot tell, my eye sight is bad....

it still looks a lot like the 308 inside, not bad i would say

yup. the new 408 would most probably use the conventionally sized steering wheel and not the smaller wheel of the 308. my eyesight just as bad! wink.gif

Hi Vengga. Compared to 408 turbo then nothing. THP looks better. Comapred to 2.0 Cruze is 1.8 and they have pre-reg 2013 new cars apparently they brought in for Langkawi Tour last year but no used. The OTR is 90K. Just wanna check it out first.

Here's more poison.

Presently there is no car to below 110K to match handling/power/comfort/spec to the THP.  Difference between NA & THP is less than 15K. I did a rough costing some time back. It would cost around 70K to configure NA to THP and all the extras! But they are giving it to you for just additional 15K.

You have a chance to own and experience an advanced technology for practically pittance! This engine has won 'Europe Engine of the year award' again! Since you are slowly getting to be car person,you will regret,sometime in the future, for not getting the THP for so little!

regarding the Peugeot warranty issue, DJ may ji share her experience, as i know she is driving a 308T.
Recently her car breakdown due to "PH" pump problem, sc had replace the pum but request her to pay rm2k of it.
the question is her car only 3 years old and still under warranty. y still need to pay?
what the care line reply her is, because this is second time the car change the pump, after change is no more warranty on that part.
my question is????????????????????????????????????????????? what is that? then 5 years warranty is what?
and she already decide going to pay rm2k to take back her car.

Just a few question la before we react to this la.

Is her car under a 5 years warranty? Just in case, since already 3 years ago.
Usually, warranty is based on the purchasing date, not any date or void after a part been changed under warranty.

I hope it is not listed as a wear and tear part and also, 5 years warranty doesn't cover everything under the hood.
Better clarify.

Good point. 5 year warranty started about 2 years ago. If not mistaken it started with launch of 408/508

yes you are right! i tot all peugeot come with 5 years warranty
just confirmed her 308 is 3 years warranty
the argument is change the pump few month before, then the bump spoil again but had over the car warranty period.
her car really a lot problem within this 3 years, already claim for rm20k++ on part replacement within the warranty period sweat.gif

the thing is this; whether a part is replaced under warranty or purchased if the car is out of warranty or it is not a warrantable part, it comes with a 1 year (if i am not wrong) warranty (unless it is considered a wear and tear part like brake pads, wiper blades, bulbs etc.).

this is for the part itself. so the next question is this, did she contact the careline (clic)?

another thing with regards to parts considered wear and tear, if it breaks or wears off unusually quick, it should be given due consideration by the warranty team and i think those guys are pretty decent and reasonable in hq as long as the matter has been brought up in full detail to them by the clic team, hence the importance for customers to tell the full story to the clic team when in discussion.

by the way, there are also many owners who fabricate stories. i know this for a fact as i have personally told one or two off when i was running clic before... so, the customer is not always right wink.gif sorry for digressing a bit here.

yalor, the NA also good lah. just fuel consumption is not as good as turbo only. it is certainly not slow as i have mentioned in one of my posts earlier and has a slightly more comfortable ride. though at crazy speeds, one would prefer the firmer sprung turbo. the funny thing about the NA is this, even though the steering is hydraulic as opposed to the turbo's electric power steering, it is over assisted and lighter than the turbo's. this is probably due to the reasoning that the 408 NA is designed more for easy and comfortable driving = softer suspension and lighter steering for city driving. so, they both have their merits. just depending on your preference.

Bro, steering and feedback on the 408t has raised the bar to another level. My bro bought 328i M-sport,top of the line in 3 series, 2months ago. Even this car's steering and feel can't match the 408t's. After several round table beers,my bro finally conceded the Bimers steering feel & feedback is not as good!

He will always quickly turn the discussion to power. Of course on power his will chew the Pug and spit out with no effort....hehehe!

I tested the Passat & Jetta, not as good also!

That's why I constantly tell prospective buyers to get the THP. New buyers will not realize how good the THP is and for so little extra. Not saying the NA is bad,in fact I think it is damn good value. But for so little extra, the THP offers hell of a lot more. Further more,over the 2 years since introduction,it's proved it self to be reliable! Better reliability then more expensive contis!

Now the offer is even lower than NA launch price! This is a fantastic opportunity for new buyers to get a truly great car. I'll even say this opportunity may not come by again, once the stock clearance is over.

Enough of my rambling....beginning to sound like an SA...hehehe!

Oh the Civic is a lame duck against the 408t. You might want to test drive other cars in the same price bracket,like the Elecntra,Creato, Ford Focus, Altis & Sylphy. Tell us what you think?

The only car I would consider worthy is the F Focus. It hasn't got the power,200nm compared to 240nm on the Pug. However it's gb and handling cannot be denied.

Helo Everyone

I am glad I finally found this forum. I brought a 408 in Sept 2012 and generally happy with it’s performance. One issue I have is with the display that shows the KM that can be driven based on the petrol in the tank. When I fill up full tank the display will show about 430 km when I know that it should be about 550km, after driving for a while it will jump to about 470. It never seems to show the right value
I have complained about 3 times when I take the car for service the last 1 ½ years . They say they have check and reset and it should work fine but it never does

Anyone experience this issues and how was it fixed
Appreciate your advice

Hi paramdav
It's a software problem you have. I doubt a reset will help. Needs a ECU reload. It is a bit of work and I think our monkeys are too lazy! Try Balakong and tell them you have already complained 3 times. Followup your problem with Clic, keep them updated and push them for a answer.

Frankly i don't pay much attention to this. It's not an accurate measurement.

Hi, i just would like to share my personal thought on C segment car. I also facing the same dilemma recently on choosing my C segment car.
I was looking for a family car to fit family members of 5 with 2 kids. My initial thinking was design, comfort and performance rank top in my preferences. Here is the summary on among C segment car shortlisted :
1) Elantra / Cerato - Great design and features packed - Too bad my kids complaint seating position not comfort and also my past experience on Korean car told me durability and resale value are both major factor that deter me.
2) Focus - What drive me to look at this car is the POWER and HANDLING. But after i try to sit on their back seat, the clampness of the backseat is a shame for it to categories as a C segment car.
3) Altis with CVT - Design wise is very sporty, but i just dont like the characteristic of CVT works and poor handling of Altis.
4) Sylphy 1.8 with CVT - Same as Altis, CVT sound very loud on the go when press hard. I just cant adapt to CVT.
5) Pug 408 - Tested both NA and THP, solid with continental car feel, NA power is adequate, THP is sprint like charm. I like it after 1st test. But my wife told me she not feeling well on backseat since it's too slanting, maybe this is just her isolated cases. Too bad it out from my list again.
Since i cant find an ideal car to suit both myself and my family members, and SUV is out from my reach, i got no choice but to test the 9 gen Civic where i have never thinking of it since it appearance might not suit me at my age group. But to my surprise, the seating position, space and comfort was among the best tested thus far. Handling of course cant rival Focus, but doesn't run far away, dashboard was most futuristic where i like it, although a bit plastically feel. Power wise is weaker if compared to 408 T and Focus, but it's adequate for my style, the smoothness and quiteness of both transmission and engine at moderate speed impressed me.
We came to conclusion for the Civic with main concerns on comfort, after sales service, resale value (since i use to change car after 5 years), good FC with sohc, adequate power with great handling and proven 5 speed transmission.
If im still a bachelor guy, sure 408THP or Focus is my on my top priority choice.

that display is to only show approximates. it will recalculate itself based on your driving speeds and habits. display showing 430km upon fill up could be the car still performing its calculations. then when you drive off, it will show a more realistic distance to empty - i.e. 470km. if you drive really slow, like for example 80kph ~ 90kph, you will see the meter change to show maybe 480km or 490km or perhaps even 550km! but if you jack rabbit start after pumping and keep driving angry to maybe about 140kph and beyond, it will calculate and give you some very low figure. so, that calculation depends on your driving.

it will never show the correct value as the driving conditions are dynamic and you can keep at it with the service guys... the result will probably be the same. hope it helps but in any case, do have it checked and have the software re-loaded as per SKYjack's advice. if even after doing that it still happens, then you know that it is how the system functions.

hope this helps.

CONGRATS to new owners, you are now officially a 408 owners. We are an elite few, there are only about 80,000 per year or so new owners worldwide...

When it was first launched here, from May 2012 to May 2013, 1,300 units of 408 were sold here in Malaysia, i.e. approx 110 unit/month

FYI, there are more 408 sold than Ford Focus (even with Ford recently enjoyed their best 1st Half this year, only 575 were sold in Jan-June 2014, which makes it only 96 units /month.

Despite its worldwide success (reported to be No. 1 or 2 challenging Toyota Corolla), Ford Focus has somehow less taker than 408 here in Bolehland, I must say...Malaysian got better taste....

Nevertheless, the newly launched (late April 2014) CKD VW Jetta at RM130,888 (RM21k cheaper than its CBU days) is now also competing at a close and near pricing level

But like Focus, Jetta is really 'smaller' from the inside. Compare to these two, 408 has scores of differentiating advantages

Is there a difference between solar film and security film? I mean if you get solar control, does it take care of security control as well? Reason I asked is based on Raytech's website, they have separate product series with diff thickness. Noticed solar control are all less thick (1.5-2 mil) than security control (recommended 4-6 mil).

Also anybody use blue tint for blue body?

There are a number of tint products in the market now. They are different and price varies. Price also varies by the level of tint and UV protection and numbers of years grantee. There are some with 10 years grantee.

It is best to get a tint with solar+security+UV protection. Bear inmind it must be JPJ approved. I'm sure you would have seen tints so dark that you can't see the passengers,I doubt if these are JPJ approved.

As Pugs air-con is not very strong, a good tint does help. I'm using blue tint as my car is blue. It's goes very well. thumbup.gif

2013 NA, $80K coverage enough la. If not mistaken, market value is about $75K.

For THP $109K suggested by Allianz is crazy as new price now is only $107K. For 2013 THP, I'd say $90K!

I do agree with u sir... but market resale value and suggested insured value is different. As I have been told..if we insure our car below the suggested value...it would give us problem#we need to top up the dollar and cents# if we are involved in an accident. E.g. If we insure our car 10 percent less than the insurance suggested value...it means we have to bear the repair cost at 10% value. Please correct me if I am wrong.

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.

Hi

It is mentioned in the forum that on average 5 years service costs is around RM11K. My SA said around 6K. I may consider adding 5K for 5 year free service. Want to know if it is worth it? Anybody can confirm? I saw the service schedule in the forum but no price. ..thanks

There are a number of tint products in the market now. They are different and price varies. Price also varies by the level of tint and UV protection and numbers of years grantee. There are some with 10 years grantee.

It is best to get a tint with solar+security+UV protection. Bear inmind it must be JPJ approved. I'm sure you would have seen tints so dark that you can't see the passengers,I doubt if these are JPJ approved.

As Pugs air-con is not very strong, a good tint does help. I'm using blue tint as my car is blue. It's goes very well.  thumbup.gif
Thanks for the advice. I am now looking at Raytech Centurion and 3M Nano both with highest TSER. Mind sharing which blue tint you use?

Anyone having problems with air re-circulation? I noticed that even thought its set to recirculating air, sometimes outside smells still get in. Any thoughts?

Also, I just wanna point out something I've just found out today. Service Booking and Complaints Booking are 2 different items. If you don't tell them you have complaints to be addressed when booking your service appointment, you'll need to book a separate complaints appointment. I just don't understand why they can't simply handle both together like the Japs do.

yup me too, i reported this to SC and they did some sort of reset, then it was gone but then it came back after a while. so each service i made the same complain and all they can do is that reset, done 40,000 km service so far with CSL branch, but will go Geoauto for 50k km, i will get their second opinion in a month or two from now when i go there

Thanks bro. I'll report it to the SC during my service next month. Hopefully it'll go away. Its irritating and a little humiliating as well. I had people in my car and they were questioning why my new car is not able to filter out the nasty smell outside.

mine too got this outside smell and from what their technician told me that the aircond was built like that and he said that the aircond part at the engine area cannot be totally close if you try to do it it will void your warranty sad.gif. that is what he told me lar. i also dont know whether its true or not

maybe i can shed some light on this. it is kinda an unwritten (or written!!??) rule (EU) that it cannot be closed completely. this is to ensure that there is still a small amount of air coming into the cabin to prevent the occupants from blacking out. so, it is just one of those things that maybe the service centre can fix a little but cannot fix fully. hope this helps. it was the same when i was working with Saab and Porsche. not sure about other brands.

Somehow I suspected this was the case. Some kind of sub-system to allow fresh air into the cabin to prevent fatigue and blackouts. This feature can be used in European countries as their air is clean for the most part but here in Asia, its quite the opposite. I'll take this up with the SC. Let's see what's their take on this.

Guys need help. Is there really a lot of difference berween NA and THP. I am seeing the cost. Additional 20K. A bit confused. Or should I get TS model without the leather seats and body kit. Additional 14K From NA. so difficult to make up mind when on budget.

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!

vknight i had the exact same dilemma as you! but in the end i decided to take the TS and below is why :

1. 6 airbags vs 4 airbags (this was a major point for me)
2. Better performance
3. Better handling
4. Cheaper road tax
5. Leather wrapped steering (kinda makes a diff for me as this is the part of the car u got the most interaction with)
6. When i saw a list of service costs, it seemed that the 1.6 was cheaper (can someone verify this?)
7. Someone also mentioned 1.6 is a bit more fuel efficient


So between the 408T and 408TS i believe the main difference is only leather seat and bodykit, which im willing to sacrifice for a 10k reduction in price (which has another 8k discount on top of that) so in the end u only pay RM110,240.00 for the 1.6T almost same price as the 2.0 (before discount) drool.gif

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 it boils down to what kind of drive you like and what your priority are. Is power and handling is not the priority, then go for NA. If you like more power and handling at the cost of some comfort, THP.

No point going out of your comfort zone coz of price. Example, if today THP is cheaper than NA, and you buy it. But your first priority is comfort driving and family comfort, then u will be regretting the purchase coz you complaint the ride is hard and bumpy, etc etc.

So go for your own comfort zone and main priority. But from my experience so far, the ride on the THP is not as bad la...definitely not as soft and comfy as the NA, but is not bone jarring and not like ridding on a horse. For me, all these issue goes away when i whack into a corner and see how planted and stable it is. Even my other half was saying that my car take corner damn stable.....

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

No offense meant!

Agreed. Civic 2.0 is much more comfy than the THP. Cant say about our 408 NA, coz i never tested it. But then i always feel that im paying more for a Civic/Altis 2.0 but getting less of what it has to offer. At the end, is what you really want. Just make sure dont make wrong choice.

Happy shopping...!!! =)

I tested Cruze and I was told that though the handling ia good, at high speed have to be careful of the steering as it can oversteer. Is the thp must more stable?

Would appreciate your kind reply sharing your experience comparing cruze and 408.

vknight, best is you test drive it yourself but based on most owners' sharing, it's at the top range for C segment in terms of handling, only contender is perhaps the Focus.

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!

Dunno, I am confused myself. Been reading Raytec, 3M and Ecotint. Some say Huper Optik is good. One thing is for sure, warranty is important and metallic tint may interfere with electronic transmission eg mobile phone but most important of all is skill of the installer. Check out Raytech website - a lot of good advice given.

I like the one with security features whereby when someone tried to break the glass it is very difficult. It take sometime before the glass breaks. Enough time to drive away.

wow... labour itself so much edi.... at least not as bad as toyota, just change brake pad last time they charge me RM300 for labour alone...

Agree...labour is too much, a more reasonable charge would be a cap based on service level (in this instance say RM300-350 instead of RM500) unless hard to service or more skill/time required repair crops up.

Hi. Just checking.  Up to 50000km -how much has been your total amount paid for serving on rough estimate?  Thanks.

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

Each service used to come around RM 400-430. Its a discounted price for the oil and parts, that is what I was told.

guys, im contemplating between the NA and 1.6T. at this point, difference of 20k is big.

Is it really worth it to get the NA? or looking at how most of SC are crappy (and so many battery issues), go to different car all together?

The problem is there is no symptoms of the battery dying.. Suddenly while driving, it show the temperature MAX and the engine fault error appear.

i had the same grievances as you bro... in the end i went with the Turbo S cause its only about 12k diff (after all the discounts on both models)...

the reason i swayed to the 1.6 is because of the better specs (6 speed gearbox better engine more airbags and so on) not to mention also cheaper road tax and all... i would definitely recommend that you go for the 1.6TS cause though it doesnt have the bodykit n leather seats, its 10K cheaper than the 1.6TE... so a small compromise for big value thumbup.gif

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!

Read this:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3266484/+320#

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.

I don't believe it should be normal - may be due to uneven brake disc. I corrected this fault recently for another car. I think in V2 post #772 there was similar experience shared by another owner

Update for Insurance:

I was just quoted by Etiqa for my 1.6THP: minimum sum insured is 99k (1 year old), excluding windscreen. There's a 10% discount if buy direct.

Don't bother trying online purchase with Etiqa, it doesn't work. Model not found!

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.

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

That's right. Drain simply relies on gravity to empty the GB of oil. Flush pumps the oil in to theoretically replace all old oil with new and also removing any residue.

Also just to share my experience.... i remember someone asking in the forum that whenever they brake their steering vibrates a lot... I had the same issue with my car... the feedback from braking was really bad and also my dad keep asking my the suspension so bumpy and noisy...

at first i thought it was the harder suspensions on the turbo and the disc got issue... and then based on my dads advice i checked the tyre pressure... this is where i got a shock shocking.gif the pressure on my tire was 375 rclxub.gif it redi says the max on the tire is 350...

After pumping in the proper pressure now the care handles, comforts and brakes very well thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

so yea just an fyi

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. tongue.gif

Very expensive indeed, but I wonder why there
Is a huge difference in pricing. I just sent my 2.0 for 50k service and kena RM 1394.00. The most expensive is the ATF which cost RM 194 for 1 liter and it requires 4
Liters. I sent my car at Glenmarie. That is a huge price difference.

Hi Guys
Just wanna share. There is a 408TE 2013 registered under the dealers. Not test car. Mileage is 300KM. Used for transporting from Gurun I guess. Full specs and Blue. Looks nice. Price is around 109K. I was interested but need to spend around RM1900 to transfer my new number to this car.

PM me if interested. I will give you the contact details.

Either the car wash fella really scrub your lion or the initial paint job is just bad.
If you want to get those fixed in sc will be expensive. Just go to some reputable workshop and ask them to quote you saja. Some can be done in 24hours.

Hi, anybody tried glass coating with satisfaction? Any recommendations?

I have read most of the threads on coating and detailing, there dont seem to be very much support for glass coating for 2 main reasons - 1) price 2) effect is dubious or at least not as wonderful as claimed to justify the extra expense.

I am keen because I am very busy plus lazy to wash car but love to see a shiny car anytime. Any cure or poison for me?

I'm using SierraGlow. It's cheap and the quality is well.....cheap. Steer clear of these guys for paint coating.
I heard Optimum Coating by Detailien is good.
The coating doesn't really keep the car clean. You still need to wash it regularly. What it does do is add a layer of protection. For myself, I don't see much of a difference because the quality of this coating job is rubbish. They didn't polish the car properly before coating.

On the other hand, I applied the glass coating for the windows and its fantastic. I get better visibility all round on rainy days.

You may try CrossColors Auto Spa. At Kota Damansara. Behind the Tropicana Medical Center. RM1800. They are very good. Will send to them to do coating soon. But my brother did it there. Very good. The car wash is also very good as well. They are using Diamond Brite brands.

Check out their FB.

Thanks guys for sharing. At the moment, I am considering Opti Coat - sounds good so far.

As for the bad reviews, I realised good products may have mixed reviews due to irresponsible installer. You will never know how much potential business is lost simply because you didn't supervise your workers to deliver a good job for customers.

I myself tried Sierra glow too. if given second chance will not go back again mainly due to coating quality and how they treat me as customer. My gf's Cerato just had coating done at hy auto solutions ttdi. very good service even at return visit to touch up. I notice with coating it became so easy to wash even with just plain water. I understand there are soft coating and hard coating. hope you found a good one for your lion

I think for 308 only compatible with 408 turbo version. Not suitable with 408 NA.

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?

Any advise guys??

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.

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..

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.

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.

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. smile.gif

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?

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

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*

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.

Sorry for this newbie question. I'm used to the hook type wipers (Proton and japanese cars) but now looking to change the wipers on my Peugeot 408 as the wiper is torn (~2 years old). Notice it's a push button to release.

I see the wipers in the market are mainly for the hook type. How do I know which wiper is compatible and can be fixed to my car?

Thank you!

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!
