Performance is good. But I had some QA issues with the paint and inside fitting waiting for warranty claim.

How is yours?

They must have release the car in a hurry or parked it somewhere for a long time.

You should raise the issue. 48 weeks is not acceptable!

Could be cos of stock clearance units. However you are still entitled to full warranty claim.

This is only the tyres which are stocked for sometime. How about other parts in the car.
This is a CKD model right. Anyone knows where is it assembled?

Car parts are covered by warranty which is 5 years. All 408s are CKD from Gurun assembly plant.
*
How long are they stoked there? With so many issues about paint job and rubber seal on doors.
I think its due to the cars parked out there for a long period in Gurun under hot sun.

Does anyone has any information about how CKD Peugeot cars are released from manufacturing plant and how long are they allowed to stock.

What understand from inside source that Nasim do keep more stock then other which could be sufficient for 2 year car for just 408. What I hear from last year, after manufacture they normally keep for 6 month (Gurun,Kedah hot sun). But recently saw there is increase sales on 408, I think should not be that long.

For all part 5 year warranty claim, as I know 1 of the part the rubber host for the turbo host is not under warranty. The cost of the rubber host is RM500. (Source from the Peugeot Club Member which have change). So have to keep and eye on that stuff..

Thanks a lot for the explanation you gave Eugene.
Some cars which are fitted with tyres dated 1-2years gives us the picture.
Anyone here has a 1.6T Griffe here?

Got mine from Peugeot Bangsar. Tuesday put booking, friday got car. biggrin.gif

Since urs is still under warranty, better maximise that luxury, get it all sorted. If u r not satisfied with one SC, go to the other. (Read earlier threads, very good info on how to understand ur Pug from otai Pug owners.
Most cars have faults these days, not just Pugs. Even japs have their cars recalled for all kinds of issues.
They are not as reliable as before. Gone are the days when cars are all mechanicals.

hey guys,

I haven't receive my car yet. Booking made about 7weeks ago. i had a bit of issue on the loan because the interest was sky high.
Finally made downpayment last week. Hope monday I will be able to roar the Prince out of the LION smile.gif

Make sure you tick every box in the checklist (find it in earlier threads posted by the otais) before you sign to make sure ur Pug is in excellent condition. Check whether the door hinges are tightly screwed on all 4 doors, boot & bonnet. Mine was loose and one screw came out from the driver door. I had the guys at the outlet fixed and checked everything before I sign.

Lastly, find time to read this fans thread from V1, it will help u to understand ur Pug's character more. It will definitely grow on u.  icon_idea.gif

After much pressure on the dealer. The car was out on 11th March. Everything on the car looked normal. Its a red lion with Griffe package.
Leather seat & 18"Rims. I was busy driving it around that I didn't update here. Can I know do we need to run the car at certain speed limit/RPM's for the beginning 1000km since its new.

Bro, This being sold by 2nd hand dealer. I have seen them advertised a few Peugeot cars before. From the pic it is not Griffe. So be careful a bit.

Hey guys, the Peugeot Griffe package looks like this. The main difference is the 18" dark rims and interior leather seat & reverse camera.

Hey y'all! Anyone from Terengganu?
Going for my first long trip, hope it will be a great drive. smile.gif

Hi VirgoHunk,

I work in Terengganu. Which part do you intend to go? Or did you already hit the road biggrin.gif
Its the best time to go because just last year they completed the Bukit Kuang flyover in Kemaman.
That road was under construction almost 5years and filled with poth holes.

There is actually a new highway in Terengganu. I think you can already drive through it on certain stretch of road, its the best time to go since the highway has not started to charge Tol yet.

Yesterday I kissed a wira. The car in front of him made a emergency break. My driver's side fender is dislocated and banded. I have scratches on the door side as well. Do you think its better to repair at a workshop or sent to Peugeot to claim insurance. Its not even 1 month yet sad.gif

you kiss people car , claim insurance lose NCB 55%, you can only claim ur car if you made police report and kena fine by police cos you kiss people car.

go workshop you know quote for repair, if 1+k suggest u fork out urself n repair it.

If more then claim insurance ... Pigot SC parts are very expensive , last time a van kiss my lion 2 week car... 12K repair bills i claim the van la
*
Yes I did the police report today. I wanted some views from those who already had the trouble after accidents.
I already expect the parts would be expensive. If anyone here has the inventory for parts list would be helpful.
Before I bought the car, I asked the salesman for this, he said it can be arranged. But it never happened.
I think its good since the insurance going to bear the hefty sums for parts replacement.

Bro NCB 55% about Rm 1600, once lost take 5 year to collect back . With NCB about 1500 for  100k but year 2 is about 75k so calculate is worth ? If worth go claim , as soon police result report out ,submit it to ur insurance.. call ur insurance  early  to get for adjuster.
*
It seems the paint itself will cost more than 1k. Not included the fender bender, broken front grille, broken light bracket & no plate.
Since my NCD is 0%. insurans & roadtax was borne by the SC when I purchase the car, i think its better t claim insurans
But its still looks like a minor repair, at the moment i can still drive the car without a glitch.
Anyone know which is the best SC for easiest and fastest to process this kind of repairs?

aircond seems to be a common problem. i am also experiencing some issues of not cold air during hot afternoons, sometime its like blowing hot air. on cooler nites, the air is colder. mine is 2.0 coming to 3 years.
*
Initially I had the same problem. My car was just a week old then. It happened night, then the next day again.
I am just worried it would occur again. Peugeot need to see this issue seriously. Its okay if its happening to cars 3years or above.
This aircond unit is build in France and brought in to Gurun for assembly or manufactured somewhere here?

I had an accident damage almost like yours.
I try to avoid hitting the front car when it applied emergency brakes due to
another car infront of it made a emergency break.

I felt like the ABS didn't kick in well, or probably I was too close.
My damage looked very minor that you can't spot the dent and scratch from a distance.

I got a shock when the SC quoted the price. Because it was under warranty,
parts will be replaced. I am fine with that as long as it was the way it looked before.

Front grill & no plate cracked, right fender dent & head light brackets broken,
scratch mark all the way from front right fender all the way through both right doors.
Front right tyre slightly chipped and wheels lightly scratch.

The whole replacement going to cost the insurance company RM30k.
I had a shock hearing this.
I realize 408 parts doesn't come in cheap.

Guys, always drive safely and keep a distance from the car infront.
