this Euro Tech Auto Works is different with the taman mayang  Euro Tech Auto ?
cause the name look same ..  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
anyway i guess we should pin the good reputation workshop at first page ...
so that we can have a future reference  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
anyway $360 i feel is reasonable ...
i guess SC will include those diagnose fees this that ..  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

It's different workshops. I know a bit confusing when they are almost similar names. The one at Taman Mayag is Euro Tech Auto Sdn Bhd. This one is Euro Tech Auto Works.

Hi SkyJack,


Once replace the coolant sensor, can the issue pop up again? Did Peugeot come up with improve version of sensor? any idea?

Hi bro
Once changed should not be any problem further. I change mine last year, like me many here also change. No one has come back to complain.

hi guys! I just changed 1 tyre same MC5 conti.(same as ori). they charged rm420. Is it reasonable? or can get cheaper?
I changed both front tyres and used the spare as the other replacement. Since our spare tyre is not an emergency tyre so, the tyre shop sifu said to use it or
else mite spoil eventually.

That's good price,don't think can get lower.

Yes tyres are lifed, like 5 years I think. So best to use it before expiry.

IMO for the price,MC5 are satisfactory performance and mileage. I'm changing at 50K km.

Got my ABS problem fixed. It was a rear wheel speed sensor. Damage total is $360 ( spd sensor $290,labor $70) I think SC will charge about $600. Hope bro RON408 who is making a warranty claim gives us SC charges for comparison.



Bro SKYjack,

Just complete replaced my ABS sensor. only rear RHS was faulty. Part RM218.50 Labour RM45. Total Damage RM0. All covered under warranty.

no such thing. the warning light comes on when 50 liters have been consumed. I have refueled max 54 liters and no problem . of course if u say don't 100% empty the fuel tank then that's a different story.

I was referring to don't let your fuel 100% empty lah bro. Better refuel rather than you stuck at the roadside. icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks for the advice bro.

But is it acceptable since even after warning light, we still have a about 6 liters of fuel.

What I am trying to say is that while it is good to do what you and the SC have requested but is this an acceptable quality of HPFP? My car cannot simple stop middle of the road or have this pull back while I am driving when I still have fuel. Does all other car behaves the same way?
*
I remember you already replaced the HPFP long time ago... I don't think the HPFP fail again.
Repeated issue/failure, i advice you to report to CLIC.
BTW, good luck bro.

Bro RON408, I'm very surprised to learn our engine has premature carbon build up. I was under the impression our engine had the necessary mods to prevent this carbon buildup.

Can I ask how much city and urban driving you do a month?

Youtube video

It will be some time before I can send my car to the sc.. need some advice here.. as seen in the video, my car had this problem, where during engine cool, the engine faulty error message will come out.. after several minute of warm up the engine to 90c temp, I restart the car, the error will gone automatically, and it seem like no error at all occur.. my question here, is it safe for me to drive the car, until i have time to go to sc? Anyone have any idea, what wrong with my car? Does it have to do with engine oil, since it only happen during engine cooldown..

I'm also surprised that our engine has this premature carbon built up. But it happened, i was standing supervision during decarbonisation process. My mechanic snap those pics using my phone. The carbon residue is there...

Years back later i was read at the net that our engine was successfully tested up to 60k without carbon built up due to new mod intoduced for EP6CDTM.
For me any DI engine will experience this whether excessive carbon built up or not.

This is very subjective, driving style, combustion performance as well as fuel quality. Since owning my lion every weekend i drive to KL from Karak. 1hr drive layan corner tekan kaw2. Happy pug!. Weekdays drive 3km from home to office.

Hi bro,i'm not able to open your video,so not sure of your exact problem.

Since you are able to start the engine & if the engine operates without any problems, then it is ok.Safe to drive the car. It was probably just a momentary loss of electronic feedback signal to the ECU. This happens sometimes in these modern technology cars which utilize high level of electronics.

However if the problem starts to appear intermittently, then it's an impending failure. If the error appears everytime the engine cools down,then it's sensor failure. In both the case, go to the SC asap.

Dont know why I the Youtube tag not working. Instead I use the link to open youtube in different browser. It is happening intermittently everytime during engine cools down. It will only be ok when the temperature ok already.

Most likely it's a sensor. It is safe to drive,if no time to go to SC right away. However best not to delay the fix too long.
