i've done 210 on the n/a. then i returned the car to the company.

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.

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.

Good point. I just can't help it. biggrin.gif

the 2.0 does feel a little floaty at that speed. wonder how the turbo with stiffer and lower suspension feels.
*
It felt very floaty for me but the roads weren't exactly smooth either. Never tried those speeds on smoother roads.

My car now is diagnosed with no issue. After yesterday was told turbo electro valve, today, my car is ready for collect without anything been fixed.

Called careline but helpless. Now I have send an email to clic and peugeot. Hope someone will entertain me.

This is not good. I don't trust Puchong branch. Maybe you can send to another SC. Glenmarie was ok.

I been tried 200KM/h using auto cruise (limited on 200km/h) on LPT 2 in Terengganu. That is straight road, no car because new expressway. I feels floaty for sure, engine noise quite high... just cruise 5 KM,  after I slow down speed to 110KM....  no dare  shakehead.gif
*
Yeah. The engine noise starts becoming audible at about 130kmh.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

About 100kmh onwards....kind of annoying to hear that "shhhhhhhhhh" sound at the window when im driving....

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.

You wind down the windows then You try to clean surrounding windows rubber using wet cloth...that rubber is dust collector...

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.
