Just ask anyone experienced car in SC for more than 1 week? My 18 months old 408 thp turbo has been sitting at Glenmarie SC for three weeks already. Facing problems of third brake light housing damage, roof lining drop, aircond breakdown, cooling system breakdown. Heard from them still waiting for spart parts.
*
i experience leave car in SC more than 1 week ..
last time claim for air cond compressor ... they need 1 week to replace ..
i did not leave my car there during waiting for part period (waiting part took around 1 week) ..

well, still can drive .. just noisy when turn on air cond jer .. hahahaha ..

additional : of course if u do it outside la, the downtime is lower ..

if still under warranty .. then have to send to SC already ..

Hahaha..true, after visit to SC seem to develop new bugs.

Yes I would complaint to SC 1st. If unresolved, then I would go to Renautech. I feel continuesly going back to SC on reoccuring issues is a not in the best interest of my Pug. Its obvious they dont know what is happening. To make matters worst, most likely they mess it up further,ofcourse it's wrong to say all SC are useless! Then ppl start complaining Pugs are troublesome! There are ppl who say 'never another Peugeot'! Thats how messed up their car got! How come mine is on 6th year and running perfectly? No secret.....proper maintenance & she'll serve you well!

Fortunately I've not had serious issues and SC solved all my issues during warranty. Now I'm not interested in the 7year warranty, so go to Renautech for all my maintenance.

I service at renautech after 3 years ..
they know my car well .. thumbsup.gif

Is their service charge still the same or revised. How much does routine oil change cost?
*
you mean SC or renautech ?

SC i not sure ..
renautech normally i will ask whether have ongoing promotion or not ..
else i will take the package that they normally offer (Mobil1 engine oil, oil filter, engine flush, free gift that come with engine oil) .. RM388 includes gst ..

Normally promotion thing only for setia alam branch .. sweat.gif

Slight correction. Renautech use Total, not Mobil1. Total > Mobil1

ehh ... the package they offer me is Mobil1 ..
FYI they have Total, Mobil1, Liquimoly...

Then why don't you use total? It's the officially recommended oil for prince engine.

last time i service my car at SC (GeotAuto).
1st year still using Total .. then after 1 year they use Mobil1 already ...
been using mobil1 2 years ++ .. so far so good ..

In renautech, since they offer mobil1 package .. then just take it lo ..

Hi guys,

I have a 408 NA Y2016 , which I bought back in March 2017 during their clear stock promotion.
Needless to say there are few minor quality issues which they have finally resolved.

I would like to ask your opinion about on the best method to clean the front windshield.
Each swipe will still leave faint marks on the windshield. Tried cleaning the glass and wiper rubber but still won’t work.

Any idea beside changing the wiper itself ?

Thanks,
*
mine method is .. (ya .. youtube christfix)
1. clean the windshield with soap (wipe / clean your wiper too)
2. wipe the windshield with dry cloth (i use microfibre cloth)
3. buff wax (ya ... any car wax)
4. wait till the wax blurred and dry (i mean from your wax instruction, until the wax is ready)
5. wipe off the wax with microfibre towel
6. tadaaa ...

result is better alot than rainx ..
yea~ it no hurt your wiper yo!

Hi guys, i am deciding on a pijot 3008, but would like to know in term of after sales service or spare parts. anyone can feed back here? as i heard from friends saying about spare part lead time will be 1-2 months. meaning to say if its something serious, car will be at workshop for next 1-2 months.

anyone have issues like this? or any other issues? please share.

Thanks!

from my experience :
part for warranty :
last time air cond compressor : 2 weeks (car leave at sc 1 night)

recall item :
there are a few and i do it one shot : 1 weeks (send car to sc in the morning, 5pm can take my car)

so far never encounter any waiting 1 months before la .. sweat.gif

after 6 months of ownership (used 2012 408t) and over 10k driving, i'm facing one problem only. Aircond! 2 months ago i sent to SC, they said gas is leaking but compressor is fine so its probably leaking at the cooling coil.  Funnily the cooling coil is new. it was just replaced when i bought the car under recall program. They fill up the gas and see how it goes. Now after two months, no more gas again.... There's a metallic ringing sound in engine bay driver side, the sound goes away when I turn off the aircond. Is this a sign of a problem with compressor? or the ringing sound is normal?
*
compressor problem .. the ringing sound is not normal ..
oh ya .. please change condenser together when change air cond compressor ..

my previous case, warranty air cond compressor .. but SC say condenser no need change ..

then now the ringing coming back ..

so i plan to do it outside then .. use first while still can use ..

Anyone of you manage to install subwoofer to your belowed 408?
If yes, do recommend me the workshop as it quite hard to find a accessories shop which is familiar with the wiring system of our 408...thx

I do not install sub in my 408.
But for my previous ride, i install at EA autowork (Please look for howiechoo) and KF Audio (at Aman suria) ..
Both doing good works !

You may try to discuss with them what you want, i sure they will provide u a better solution. rclxms.gif

Like I said, i feel the EWP is a con job. Peugeot France themselve have had a lot of complaints from Malaysian owners. As a result am glad that was scraped and replaced by 7 year warranty. Good you are able to claim.

I've made an appointment for cooling coil replacement next week. Thinking of reactivating 7 year warranty!

bro, how to reactivate ya ? since u not service at SC anymore ..

Its very simple. Just take your car for service. Enhancement package must be completed, which SC will complete if any outstanding issues. After service 7year warranty card will be issued. To keep warranty valid you must keep to 10k/6 months service limits. 

At present my warranty is void. I'm not sure to reactivate 7 year warranty. My consideration is in 6 months I do only 3-4kkm. In another 14months 7year warranty will end for me. I just did 80k major service outside, my car is running very well. Not sure if 7year warranty will serve any useful purpose for me!
*
i'm in the same situation as you.
> done 80k service outside
> warranty void

i was thinking whether the warranty worth .
As per i already do warranty / recall item, but SC workmanship really disappointed me ..

Last time I had no confidence in EWP. One of the main reasons I stopped going to SC after 3rd year was due to poor quality of workmanship. Worst of all, some SC don't know what they are doing!

My car has been maintained much better at Renutech. Spares are not that expensive!
*
this i agree ..
last year i warranty my aircond compressor, did ask do i need to change condenser as well as they say no need.
ok .. now today my aircond problem come back .. this week i send to renautech to check ..

edit : after warranty aircond compressor, my dashboard have kik kuk kik kuk sound when running on uneven road .. rclxub.gif
sound so same with my very old saga blm ..
