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?
*
Please let us know your final outcome. I insured my windscreen with Takaful. Anyone knows if Takaful comes under Peugeot's claims panel?

I'm Kurnia and Allianz insurance authorised agent. FYI, change windscreen outside, any windscreen shop CONFIRMED will not affect warranty. If you have any enquiry, kindly PM to me. Thanks

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!

HAHAA.. 86k is the2nd hand RV, definitely not sum insured.

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!

The RV at the market and insurance co's market value can never be the same

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.

i just get quoted by zurich insurance for my 408t 2013 at comfirm value 90k only.
how did u all think ? for me i,think a bit to low, 1 year lost my car 35k. rclxub.gif
*
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.

Just received call from insurance , they make revise the value of insure sum to 108,000 for Turbo n 90,000 for NA.
*
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.

Abit tricky to remove and place back the bracket.

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 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!

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!

Kurnia sent me a recomended renewal for RM103k, wtf. My 408T was bought in Aug 2013. I am going to get new insurance with Etiqa, can i get any lower?

Sure you can. What price are you thinking off. Do not go too low,you may run into problems on claims.

Previous posts stated offer of RM90k sum insured, is this fair?

Thanks.

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!

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?

any comments?
*
Definitely no S version, sales gimmick I guess. Only NA,THP & Griffe for the 408!

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?

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
*
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.

Ok. No probs. Thanks anyways andy.
Anyone knows how to bring up the next service interval on the display? Is it even possible?

Thanks....

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

Just look at this offer, I'd be knocking on their door right now! This is even cheaper than NA launch price.....whooooaaaa!

Even if it's a watered down version,it still a daaaaaamn good buy!
