they changed your HPFP to a newer version? or the current one in our car is the latest version?

Hi

I think they have changed to the latest version after it was damaged around May/June. They did say it may be due incompatible system

You mean the previous HPFP was a wrong one for this engine?

I think what happened is when my car broke down the last time it was due HPFP. When they changed it, I think they have a new version and they fitted the new version to my car. The new version don't seem to be compatible with our car I guess.

Not very surelah bro - confused already! sad.gif

Hi

Why don't you write to CLIC also. So they know there is an actual problem.

As per my observation, I have the pullback gentle ones when below half tank. On quarter tank pull back starts to kick in. Funny something like been programmed at this level.

When, meter shows around 60KM to get, it gets worst. Car stopped twice on Tuesday.

After several email, they called me today.They told me to come over when my petrol goes down so that they can test drive it.

Extremely dangerous if you are driving on fast lane with quarter tank to go. When your pull gets worst...I mean at what fuel level?
*
It get worst when tank less than quarter. Half tank don't seem to have any problem, but when down to qaurter....then it happen! I went to Setia Alam SC and they have had seen the issue I had, just need to arrange one whole day for them to test. Will have to arrange a day thou..

anti-roll bar not much u can feel ..
springs : harder u change lesser the comfort ..

if no family .. i guess is ok to change it harder .. but from KL to ipoh ..

What my thinking is, the comfort is enough for me and my family. But during fast corner, I feel like the car is not very stable. And on straight line, I can't go more than 170kmj. If I do that, I already feel like loosing control of the car.

Hehe.... ok ok. My guess is they fitted a wrong one by mistake cos EP6CDT & EP6CDTM look exactly the same. You are the only one who has had HPFP failure after it was changed. Straight away I guessed something not right. Of course they won't admit mistake, just confuse by saying not compatible.

If not compatible, why fit it in the 1st place....... hehehe..... see how they cover up their mistake! Anyway hope your problem is solved.

There could be something wrong with your suspension system. I've taken mine to 200kmh,found it very stable. Our roads are not built for such speeds, so don't recommend it.

You can do a lot more to improve handling, reduce body roll for faster cornering. But remember the more stability improvements you put in, the more you sacrifice comfort.

Dear 408 Turbo owners, can I check with you guys, when driving at 180km/h or 200km/h, what is the engine speed on "D" and 6th on manual mode?

Our issue is identical. When you bought the car and did they change the HPFP recently? Or you been having the prob since purchasing the car?

However, still having the problem whereby when petrol is down qo quarter tank, there are minor pullbacks kicking in.
*
What does the pullback means?

By the way, i've attached a video link regarding the noise that my engine has produced. Anyone knows whats the problem with it? the noise doesn't come out everytime, its the second time that i heard the same noise coming out from the engine when the engine is hot.

The engine was sound like diesel engine while driving. According to the technician, the chain was knocking against the cover and cannot be repair. Unfortunately that mine was just over 3 yrs and therefore no longer covered under warranty.

I was also being told to do the engine decarb coz the carbon buildup was quite bad. They mentioned the enhanced version of 408T engine does not really fixed the carbo build up problem but somehow delaying the buildup. Eventually it's still happened for all GDI engine.

I was charged for a can of additive (RM196.00) to be added in during my next full tank fuel pump.

Timing chain is covered in the 1st 3years. It is not covered in the next 2year warranty. The 2year warranty is covered by Inc Co. And it is very vague what exactly is covered. Some of us are dumping this balance 2year warranty in the toilet.

If you have timing chain problem, better claim right away!
