I changed my own 4 coil packs, that is used by Audi R8 (yes they share the common part), Rm600, with 15mins of my own labor. Rm1.6k for a Pug 308 is overkilled.

I think those using engine before the currect EA888 series do use timing belt, not chain.

BTW its not a hard fact that timing chain in superior to timing belt.

For example :
-----------------
Mercedes used to adopt duplex timing chain in its M111 series of 4 cycliders engines, the last being 2300 cc Kompressor from 2002-2004. Then in 2004 they introduced M271 1800cc Kompressor engine which is extended to the recently retired 1800cc direct inject turbo, but this M271 engine is using singlex (non duplex chain). All Merc owners must change their timing chain plus tensioner at below 100,000 km. Many did not know the problem and the non duplex chain is not robust enough and "extend" over time, slip on the tensioner, bend the valve etc it was a nightmare for many

So, sometime belt is not worse, at least the users are mindful to go and change in when it hits 80,000 km


Are you making a joke ? If everyone thinks like you, then many BMW owners will push their car off cliff Or most conti car owners

Consider cheap... cause your car buy brand new cost how much RM200K+

my Insight major service also RM1500 my car cost less than RM90K

my saga blm's 80k major service also cost RM1.3k(if not wrong) if do it in SC
but if i bought all the parts outside, exact same part
with labour ....its around RM7++...consider RM800

Wait a min, your warranty only 2 years? Hmm...then you didn't manage to get the upgraded 4 years warranty package.

You can start finding a good workshop for it then.

my peugeot 308T 50k service 2.1k

shit! same level with audi d the service charges

I like your suggestion, but I still like this car a lot, maybe next major service I will do as you said.

Anyway I just go for a quote since it is a major service. It is good to know what the manufacture will do for major service. I got a shock for it as well.
End of the day I still go back to my normal shop for actual work, and the guy told me no need to change all that 1 shot, a lot can be service or reuse or change later. He just do a normal service for me for rm310 (engine oil and filter).

Here I attach page 1 of the quote, by the way my car is manual transmission, I don't know why they quoted me DSG oil. Page 2 is all 4 absorbers. Total is rm78xx.00

2 posibble scenario...

They keyed in the wrong spec... or they trying to cheat you...

they mostlikely follow the standard replacement schedule which sometime can be stupid...

lol drive conti expect proton price for servicing

Lets see:

Section 1) - Labour is cut throat ..RM 3xx!!
2) Brake pads and disc no need to replace if still ok, only replace those which are worn out.
3) Totally no ideas what is all these except the timing belt...maybe some sifu here care to share the price and need to change these stuff.

Which part do I mention proton?

get shocked means expecting cheap servicing for premium conti

why bother the service price when u can afford a conti car.

otherwise, if 2.7k for proton or Japanese sure its sounds doesn't make sense at all

I never said I expect cheap service. I am just sharing my experience since TS said he is shock for 2700 service from Audi. Have you seen a proton with repair bill of rm7k? You driving ?
Since when vw is premium conti?

terperanjat means there was some epxectation of affordable servicing

If you have nothing better to type, please stop typing.

lol terasa, okay ciao

this is my dad's ride. asking behalf of him haha.
looks like alot ppl is recommending to go sc.

dtna7 wat 4 yrs warranty?

Support you. You were just sharing.

Proton RM7k normal service. Confirmed to push off cliff and claim insurance and buy new Proton!
