Most SC use the word Normal. I dont know what they mean. Do they mean it is normal for any car to have the said problem or its a.common defect with Peugeot. If.it is the latter then theu must do something.to rectify..They shouldnt hide behind the word Normal.

Just tired of these guys

Bro jfc. Sorry unrelated to your question post . I would want to find out about your brake pads.

1) do you have to change the disc if use trw?
2) can share the place to buy the parts?
3) how is it so far at current usage mileage?

Thanks man.

1) No need change disc, just the pad itself
2) Can get from Eugyn, the VP of PCM, PM me if u wan his contact
3) Performance still original better, but TRW is acceptable. Dust level better than original.

Manufacturer says the Vmax which is 215km/h, is limited by the ECU.

5,300 r.p.m. at 6th gear is equivalent to about 221km/h according to the calculation from the manufacturer's data given. I believe if it's not due to the limitation from the ECU, it could have gone faster.

Mine to share which part of the expressway you were running at that speed? North-South Expressway between Seremban to Malacca? I find it's difficult to drive at that speed on two lanes only freeway unless the time required to achieve the Vmax is shorter.

I have never tried bringing my car to Vmax on the road. Too dangerous. Our road also not to say the best.

But when i dyno, i saw the speedo go more than 215kmh.

So....something for your guys to figure rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

I also dont know why it can go beyond the stated 215kmh limit......I have not remap or done anything to the ECU.....

Any car on the dyno performs better than what is claimed. U might want to put into account the resistance factors during high speed driving on the road.

From my understanding, it is LIMITED BY ECU. So it doesnt matter on what condition you are in, so long as you can or IF you can reach 215kmh, the ECU will kick in to cut power and restrict you to go any faster. That is my understanding when they say LIMITED BY ECU. Feel free to correct if i am wrong or misunderstood the LIMITED BY ECU term rclxub.gif

Unless you are telling me that on the dyno, the LIMITED BY ECU is switch off or automatically turns off, then i am really not sure shocking.gif shocking.gif Because it went more than 215kmh for sure on the dyno.

I think you're absolutely correct on the term "limited by ECU". I actually made a mistake forgetting this when I was quoting doh.gif. Stupid me, I apologize.

So, if the manufacturer says limited at 215km/h but it goes beyond 215km/h, could it because of the limit not triggered by wheel speed sensor but other sensors like transmission load sensor, engine load sensor, or engine load relatively to vehicle speed?

Was the dynamometer run performed on the 6th gear?

Honestly, i have no idea why it is like that rclxub.gif rclxub.gif Maybe the brochure tipu?? I also tak tau. If somebody has gone more than 215kmh on the road, then at least we can verify it.

And yes the car is on 6th gear. Have to be at that gear to go Vmax.

Which mean that 215kmh indicated on brochure may not accurate

hi all, i have a strange issue with intermittent power loss.

sometimes my car will lose power totally no boost.  it will be literally slower than a kancil. 

but after driving for 50 or 100 km the power will suddenly return to normal . 

then after driving for another  couple of days the power will disappear again.

this on - off power has been happening for past month and it  is baffling my  mechanic. no fault code, no depollution, no jerking.

it must be fuel related

try changing fuel filter first and change the brand of petrol too

last resort will be changing the fuel pump

You may try reset gearbox and see it helps or not.

Reset Gearbox:-
Turn off engine, wait all light to dim completely esp the centre dashboard display and after that quickly floor down the accelerator for 15secs.

I also think it may be fuel or fuel pump related. Although the failure is intermittent, I'm surprised the SC is not able to identify the defect from the log. You may want to try Balakong.
