I feel this car is going to clean sweep C segment sales. Mumpos la 408e!

yeap you can claim it under extended warranty. The problem with these SC , they will only proceed with the claim if there is fault code or
if your are lucky when they test drive the jerks appears. I had this problem before, without fault code and SC said there is no
problem with the car. Few months later, the jerks appeared and i continue to drive and force the car to drive until the fault code appears!
and then SC recognize the error and replaced it.

Hi guys,

Just some update from me as it was a quite some time I didn't visit this page. I own 408 NA for four years now with mileage of 103k. I managed to claim my claim under the extended warranty for aircond problem (ie not cold) recently.

Total repair cost under warranty claim is as follows:
- Evaporator 1 unit RM1,984
- Aircond gas refill RM120
- Replace evaporator housing RM70

I lodged my complain in January 2016. It took awhile for the SC to process my claim. After few follow ups, SC finally called me to send in my car for adjuster's inspection in early June 2016. The approval process by the insurance company plus the repair took about two weeks plus.

Hi Pugbunny

Which SC you went for the air-con claim? Had been facing this issue for awhile now and none of the SC i went (Glenmarie and Puchong) can resolve it as they claimed no fault.

It is not cold while stationary and can only feel cold while the car is in motion for awhile. Any other Pug owners facing this problem to advise?

I went to Balakong SC and you may look for En. Hafiz. Few of thier service advisors had resigned recently, a bit difficult to get through thier phone sometimes.

Went for my first long trip from JB to Genting two days ago. I notice my steering started to vibrate and the tyres were noisy when I hit 130kmh. The steering vibration was quite bad. Any kind advice here of what are the possible problems please? Thank you.

could be alignment. what tyres are you using?
going up to 170-180 no problem. some till 200....

It is the high pressure fuel pump. My 3008 also same. One day, while in KD, engine fault came up. Sent car to KD SC and they only did an ECU reset. Car was ok for a while till my trip to Ipoh. Upon returning from Ipoh, engine fault came back and this time, car seriously underpowered. Can't go any faster than 90kph.

Went back to KD SC and found out I can't claim under Extended Warranty because previous owner (I was the 2nd owner) exceed last service by 40km. Appealed at Glenmarie and no avail. Finally, called up some friends and they recommended me Peug Auto in Glenmarie who replaced the high pressure fuel pump plus labor at RM 2k flat. No GST. Took the offer because car already down for nearly a month. If going there, look for Puru. Nice fella and formerly with Naza Peugeot. He shared many horror stories with Naza.

Since warranty over, I now service outside. More than 70% cheaper than Naza!

Tks for replying. It's stock Continental tyres. I thought wheel alignment would have been done when new car was delivered. Yes this car could easily go up to 170-180 if not for the vibration.

40km mileage exceeded and already void warranty? Wth.. i thought margin should be 500km even within extended warranty? I've claimed a few at Kuantan SC and my mileage was definitely way way exceed above 40km. Ridiculous.

I had the same vibration when slowing down from 130kph. Turns out both front discs have warped.

I'm going to claim this RM 2K back from the used car dealer because he signed a black and white stating car still under warranty when I bought it. Always get a black and white confirmation from the user car dealer whenever u purchase anything with extended warranty.

Mine happen aftr school holiday on may ....went to sc and they said computer reading normal...i have to turn the air con to 6 to make it feel cold...b4 dis turn to 4 cold already...

By the way, it our coolant always drop tu min level...mine already did major service on 25 may and sc already topup my coolant...today open up bonnet the coolant drop to min level...does the min level of coolant cause the radiotor temperature rise...happen before and i check the coolant it on min level...hope any sifu can help?

Check wheel alignment. Find a tyre shop near highway so they can do the testing.
Forget about SC. I think it is better to give RM60 to the tyre shop than wasting your whole day at SC without getting it solved.

Oh tks for the info. Have just learned one new thing.

If the steering vibrates when you press the brake pedal at high speed, then it is the disc problem.
If the steering vibrates when you reach high speed, then it is the wheel alignment issue (tyre could be a possibility as well).

most prob leakage. better get it check at SC. if under warranty can be replace. i replaced mine b4

Hi many thanks for your reply. Mine seems to be the 2nd scenario. Was told to send back to sc next week. Hopefully the wheel alignment and checking of tyres will not take too long.
Btw there was actually one more problem when I collected the car. The brakes gave out low grinding sound at low speed. I sent back to sc and was told that new brakes might be like this. Asked me to drive on and see if prob will go away. Now I m at 1000 km and brakes still have grinding sound at low speed. Any idea what's the problem?

Your aircon problem may be due to evaporator loosing cooling efficiency. SC is not equipped to handle this problem,you have to look for aircon specialist. Evaporator is not easy access on Pugs!

Coolant level at Min will not cause temp. rise. However it is adviserable to topup. You should get level low waning if coolant drops too low, but I wouldn't wait for that.

From day 1 for 4 years I have been complaining about coolant level drop. SC reply all this while has been, "checked no leak" and they topup coolant. They never answered my question "if no leak,where does the coolant go". My drop in level is about 10mm in 6 months. I have always suspected water pump and suggested to SC. SC come up with same reply " checked no leak".

Under the enhancement package water pump was changed. Guess what, my coolant level is constant now, no drop. It's only 3 months since the enhancement work, so I'm keeping a close watch.

It is possible to develop hairline cracks on heat treatment process( harding process of metal parts) during manufacture. I believe Peugeot QC picked out the flaws and proceeded with the enhancement package world wide. I value this effort by Peugeot greatly. It is certainly not an effort to falsify figures or delay tactics on impending defects.
