about the service centre, i have colleague send to Peugeot Kota Damasara but his feedback is not happy.
So i recommend Glenmarie (always full booking cry.gif ) or Geot Auto PJ (i always done my service and warranty here) .. so far so good..

Oh ya, is better call in advance for appointment ya. thumbsup.gif

Does anyone here have the griffe version of the 408?

I finally got to see the Griffe version and wandeing what's your verdict on that version?  Worth spending that extra cash for the 18" wheels,  CD player/navigation/Rear camera and the protective material all around the bottom of the car?
*
if me ... i prefer CD player/navigation/Rear camera ..
rim stick to 17" is good already ..

Air con starting to kaput.  That's how it was with my 407. I sent it to service center, they said everything alright because they cannot replicate the problem. About 2 months later, just after my warranty expired, the air-con died.
But of course, yours could be completely different. lol.

haha ... today i tried, if i press the fuel pedal once .. the air cond start kick in .. blink.gif

Just few weeks back my car also had similar problem...took like 15 minutes of driving or longer only the air-cond starts to cool. Took the car to SC, first diagnostic they say no problem, then the 2nd diagnostic finally they say compressor broken. At the end compressor changed under warranty, the service took around half day.
*
i see ... i first suspect compressor broken too..

i think i might just go with it first .. settle this after CNY ..

hopefully still working during cny .. brows.gif

From your symptoms, your compressor seems fine, cos it is able to cool the air. A broken compressor will not be able to cool the air no matter how long it takes.

I'd suspect a faulty condenser or an electrical problem.

blink.gif then really need to send to sc for checking ..

I had similar problem. The air would get cold only when it feels like, totally unpredictable. But I narrowed it down to my air con switch. I'd press it several times to get cold air. It was an electrical problem that was not making the connecting somewhere down line. To cut a long story short,SC diagnosed it to a faulty condenser. It was working intermittently, an electrical problem!

ok .. i will take note on this! thumbsup.gif

Well said . but seriously i like this car. I'm certain i will regret it if i get another car instead of this model.. I'm actually trying to brainwash myself into not buying this car. but u know, car's like a lover to a man. once you fall in love, you can't resist it no matter what..  biggrin.gif

im not a fan of peugeot but i brought 408 because it is fun to drive with the price tag i can afford.

with fun machine, i will rather keep and maintain (when thing broken, get it fixed whether under warranty / self pay) ..

unless it really broken too frequent until a big hole in my pocket, then i will consider another car.

3 years owning.. so far so good.. part is not difficult to find. (may get from taobao too if you know chinese)

Item changed under warranty. Recently my side mirrors unable to completely fold, check with CLIC, cover under warranty too.
So i just need to make an appointment with SC and get it done.

The most long waiting time for part change is 5 days (my experience), During that time, I use LRT / Uber.

but then, still back to yourself. Ask yourself what u prefer thumbsup.gif

Finally picked up my Peugeot 408 2.0 just now.

Quick finding.
1. Quality & handling ok.
2. Interior finishing ok but slightly blemish by spot here & there. Acceptable but still Peugeot could do better to improve their image.

Later will drive from Penang to Ipoh then Gerik, and final destination - Kota Bharu.

safe journey! rclxms.gif

Car: 2013 Peugeot 408 1.6THP
Date: 18-20 Mac 2017

Car milage: ~114000KM rolleyes.gif
Car load: 4 Adult + 2 Child
Fuel: total around RM300
Tyre: Hankook S1 Noble2 with nitrogen (40k milage)

No problem with the car throughout the 3 day endurance drive biggrin.gif ...bad traffic from KL to Bukit Kayu Hitam on Day 1 (School holiday) hence the bad FC sweat.gif
With full load can feel the car a bit struggling to accelerate, kna asap dgn new civic and preve when drag  laugh.gif
Overall satisfied with the car and will continue using it for the time being  rclxms.gif

Noted spring like sound from rear when hit bump /uneven road past 1 year..

Cursed peugeot bcoz thought the sound is from broken absorber..cursed peugeot bcoz unreliable original parts .

Already make some saving to buy new rear absorber..
Quoted by spare shop 800+ per pair..

Now after changed rear brake pad, the sound is gone apparently..

Felt guilty cursing peugeot all along
*
actually my car have same sound ... initially i tot is absorber too ...
but i biar first ... cause when i press and check my car .. seem ok ...

maybe try your solution ... change brake pad ... nod.gif

Yup..i juz asked tyreman to check my absorber..no leakage or any broken part seen..but he told my rear suspension system already soft..maybe due to change soon..

To be fair..i've already lenjan the car with maximal load to klia with 170kmh speed multiple times previously..

So maybe its part of my fault too..not manufacturer sad.gif
*
i guess mine in same situation ...
moving out previously and fully utilizes the boots space + rear seat fold down ...
can fit alot of thing rclxms.gif
