wow downpipe + open pod can achieve that number already ..

I was planning do open pod + decat first ... then wonder should do turbo and intercooler as well or not ..
then only go remap ..

just try to achieve 200hp or something near that ..

saw one youtubers upgraded his 408 with new bigger Turbo kit, all new exhaust system, upgrade cold air intake with box etc and remap. yes, it improves a lot on Torque, HP, but it is very pricey for all sets. not sure if it is worth it to considering the 2nd price of Peugeot

This. I rather maintain it to be in good condition than mod. If want mod, better take brand new cars with 250-ish hp starting

Guys,

Will the rear screen heater damaged if we removed/replaced the faulty tinted?

Thanks.

depend on installer/technician skill. believe they can remove it without damaging the heater there

Thanks.

I got conned then. While the tinted was still under warranty (within 7 years) ,i went to claim but the installer said, it will damage the heater, so being advised not to replace faulty tinted.

But now, the it is not only ugly but blocking my view. So, I think the tinted must be replaced.

what a scam reason. it is not safe to drive car with that tint condition. I had remove my tint back then, cost me rm50 at tint shop due to car's puspakom name change process.

Good your car is all fixedup now. I too had my camshaft seals changed. leak from those seals is common as the engine gets up to age. Mine is now on 10th year and running well.

U mean valve gasket on the engine?

Both cars share the same Prince 1.6turbo engine, but different version. Both use Aisin 6 spd gb. This GB is very reliable.

508 (2013) Engine - EP6CDT 155hp.
Engine tends to build carbon deposits quickly. Needs decarbonizing every 50K to keep engine running healthy. High use of electronics in cabin which need replacement, but not very expensive. Luxury D segment family sedan.

408thp (2015) - EP6CDTM 163hp
8 mods incorporated to combat carbon deposit buildup. Cabin has less electroincs. Sports tunned chassis gives this model sporty handling. Surprising interior space for C segment car.

I'd suggest 508 2015 model. Engine is upgraded to EP6CDTM which gives it a bit more reliability.

How about Puretech 1.6T engine reliability? The new 408 GT look great, if the prices ok maybe might have a look

Did a quick google search about this (I'm interested in 408 as well), it seems there's some issues with the 1.2T engine, while there's not much report about common issues with the 1.6. However most people (those in Europe) recommends the diesel option over both of them if its available. Its very hard to get proper info also because the 1.6T with 218hp we are getting is not available in Europe apparently...

Btw 408 brochure can be download now, with official spec

https://www.peugeot.com.my/our-range/nouvel...ugeot-4081.html

Judging from the hint its gonna be priced between Civic and Accord.... I assume its anywhere from 140k - 190k for the highest spec. In that case I think the middle Premium spec is a bargain for 218hp + 8AT and full safety features. But also a bit worrying going into the brand after hearing all the stories....

the car interior sold me. kinda affordable Uruz rclxms.gif for the exterior.
1.6T with 218hp sound ok.

Rule of thumb, buy used or 2nd year with massive rebates
