Guy, next time got low coolant message, snap a picture with time and date, then check ur underneath bonnet, Our water pump is electronic type, with variable speed, even when off the pump and fan will continue working to cool down the turbo heat...

The only thing will help to have better ventilation under the hood, like those gills but it have pro and cons, it allow cooling but also allow more dust in....side vent is the best but only cooling when car moving.....

PS3 is Ultra High Performance tyre, wont be saving fuel, grip on wet and dry is top notch, Can be used around 30k Km to 40k km max. I think Rm 450 to 500 a pieces at least.

"Under the hood is a new engine which produces 150 PS at 5,000 rpm as well as 240 Nm from 1,450-4,000 rpm, all sent through a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission to the front wheels. The engine features a new turbocharger and piston designs, as well as an ECU that has been fine-tuned to suit our fuel quality"

Go Seri kembang SC , report it and get a email in contact ( easier then call in) , Remember communication with respect to the service advisor... they are human too , like to treated with respect. Talk to them nicely , have some small talk.

and follow up. bro, hope can resolved

Where did you get this info.

The Prince on the 408t is 163THP. Total of 8 mods were done making this engine very reliable. Here's the list of mods.

1) Engine tuned to run on RON 87 petrol
2) Remapped ECU
3) New designed piston with lower compression
4) New designed catalyzer.
5) New engine oil filter housing with heat exchanger
6) New turbo charger
7) New fuel tank gauge unit with lower pressure pump to handle lower grade petrol.
8) A fuel filter to cater for hash atmospheric condition ( third world country)

from pauline website bro. cant put the real url , kena ban here. As bro virgohunk said , retune 408T engine. more to smoother gear change and fuel economy .

Our 408T have jerky gear box if we hard on throttle , Must throttle it gently to get smooth gear change....... usually what i did i blip down to change gear, mean i push up to certian RPM instead pedal to metal , I release the pedal for split second to allow smooth gear change and then continue pedal agian. No hardly any jerk....

I wonder can we request SC to reflash our 408T with latest 308 T ECU tunning, lost 10bhp but smoother gear change.....

else, blip the throttle...try it... Our 408T gear change at 3K rpm, try it bro..push it to 3K to 3.2K rpm range , release the throttle for a split sec or reduce the throttling. Then gear will change to higher or lower. Then press the throttle agian... Smooth changing...

take some practice to make it perfect.

What do you guys mean by gearbox jerky? Like everytime it shift up or down, there is a jerk/judder? Or how is it?

I do push my car once awhile. Reving it to 5000-6000 and then drop gears. But i dont have any jerk when i shift up or down.

The 408T gearbox is speed sensitive. It wont shift if it hasnt reach a certain speed/rev. It is design this way so drivers will always have ready power (be in the right gear) when they need it. Thats why if you noticed, on slow speed traffic, it wont shift up. Always keep to 2nd or 3rd gear. Then when u let go throttle, it will jerk abit. But this is not the GB. Its just normal engine breaking feeling. Perhaps maybe you can be more detail in explaining the jerking? Curious to know more.

Thank you.

Yes, when going down hill you speed and slow down to corner then sudden gear change it jerk more . if you push to 5k rpm change gear is okie not so bad, but in between like below 3 k rpm it does jerk more.... keep at 3k rpm then blip the throttle it will be fine....for smoother gear change . or usual manual.

Up not so bad , downshift worst, on downhill then u slow down to turn to T junction form 3 gear at 4k rpm suddenly drop to 2nd gear... it dragging and jerking...

So so keep within 3K rpm or drop the throttle to change gear , much smoother.

Hi SKYjack and all,

FYI.
Finally I able to claim my noisy gearbox and make replacement last week, after replace next day cannot start due to starter wiring did not tighten, call SC to send techs to fix . This gearbox issue been dragging 1 year and 3 months ago. I had been harsh all the way towards the SC and CLIC staff. 45 email conversations with Clic, and reported at KPDNKK at January 2015. Prepare to go for Tribunal court for claim if they did not approve the replacement. Now well known at Penang Georgetown SC.

Here is my bad experience towards my lion:( My 1st email to Clic)
I had reported my gearbox noise issue when I make 2500km service on March 2014. I am been told that my case will be follow up, unfortunately the 1st report only sent to technical platform at May 2014 after I make numerous of call to service center manager. July 2014 I been told to leave my car  a week for troubleshooting and collecting data that needed from HQ. They said will call me when HQ replied to them , after month and month waiting, I make numerous call to Careline. Finally on September 2014  I get a called from service center said that my car gearbox noise is normal and stated that they cannot do anything about it. The technical person who troubleshoot my car and bring me along for test drive stated clearly that my car gearbox noise are abnormal compare to other car. How come HQ said is NORMAL ? REFUSED TO FIXED? After that I make numerous call again to care-line, till I sent out my 1st email to CLIC on November 2014.

Since I get my car I had claim :
1) Front both disc brake. ( Vibrate and have sound when brake at high speed)
2) Both Side triangle rubber cover
3) Battery ( died after 6 months) tow back to SC
4) Gearbox

Note: Late 3 months for 10K service on September ( should be done on June 2014). Which I told the SC manager they need to take the responsibility for the delay cause I will not waste money to maintain defect car.(The manager advise me to do 10K cause she scare will void my warranty). After replacement straight do 20K service, 6 months since September 2014 with 14k mileage only.

Hi Bro my advice is record the GB sound and complain thru FB peugeot Malaysia page directly, We all should do this. Then update the FB thread accordingly, Sure SC wont play play since is open to all to see biggrin.gif my 2cent.

Aircon Smelly
My 408 is 2 ½  years and now the aircon has a musty smell when I turn it on – The smell is  quiet strong and usually gets less after a while.  Anyone experience this ? if yes how was it fixed?
Appreciate your suggestions

Is common for any car that had internal air filter is wet. Have u change the filter before? 2 Year must change. if changed before do this trick turn the air con Heater to max
on for 20 min with engine running and door open or windows, let it cool down, n see next day still have the issues
