Is that a recurring problem or one time only and will be mended once it is changed?
*
just one time only ... i think is defect when the car just come fresh from factory ..
i also changed mine aircond compressor, condenser 2 3 years ago .. now work like charm ..

compressor claims under warranty ..
condenser under recall program (so is FOC) .. just that i need to use my car urgent last time so i pay and replace it outside ..
the recall is still valid and i can replace the condenser anytime ..

The price quoted in term of 408 1.6 Turbo for maintenance varies quite a lot throughout this thread. If I may humbly ask, what is the rule of thumb for financial feasibility of owning this lion? Like put aside rm200 every month?
*
This is my 6th year owning my 408t, saving rm200 every month should be ok to maintain this 408t (if you are not getting lemon unit la sweat.gif )..

In term of maintenance, there are some part will failed at certain mileage, so when your are reach that mileage then you pay extra careful jer ..
So far my 408t never really failed until i have to wait for tow car at tepi jalan la ..
The key point is you going to the good workshop. My car problem (failed / going to failed) are detected during i send my car for servicing ..
FYI, I already send my car to service outside when my 2nd year of ownership. SC really tak boleh pakai .. ranting.gif

Before you purchase, just ask yourself below question :
1. can you accept that your car frequently have something rosak ? (like during 6mths service and mech tell u something is broken need to change, bill is around rm1.5k )
2. why 408t ?
3. your driving experience > item #1 ?
4. prepare to mod ?

1. Woah, seems like monthly budget of rm200 wont be enough to maintain the car. Coz if say every 6months fork out of rm1.5k sum up to rm3k a year. Plus normal n major service some more. More like rm500 a month wor.

2. Not necessarily 408t. Any car with good price/performance suits my taste since I wanna buy cash 2ndhand. Still looking for reliable VIMS service though. Any insights for VIMS or alternative car model?

3. Peace of mind > driving exp < item #1

4. Nope, I prefer to use as standard as possible. Neither racer nor ricer. Prefer the car longevity. Hence looking car with value for money.
*
hahhaah .. not really every 6 months also have something broken la .. just the worst case ..
normal service is not that expensive also if do it outside .. is around rm350++

for 2,3,4 .. for 2nd hand car, "peace of mind" is really depends on your luck ..
i will advice you take japanese made .. not to say the car is peace of mind but there are plenty of source outside .. easier to maintain ..

not sure how much is your budget, you may consider lexus is250, toyota markx, mazda mps ..

Hi guys, I have a 1.6t (2013 model) just curious any ideas on causes of engine oil losses ? Also, my car tends to hover abit during the 2nd gear, when I accelerate it tends to hover around 2000 to 3000 RPM before shifting into 3rd gear, any idea on the cause of this ? And also how are you guys fairing with your pugs after these few years.
*
engine loss for alot or just minor reduce ? when car enter safe mode, it will become like this .. feel like gear box very lazy .. (when check engine light)
for my case, i normally maintain my car at renautech (u may google the address, have 2 branch) ..
i would not say is cheap but they maintain the car is more professionally than the 4s..
maybe u can send your car for a check ..

Hi everyone, first time posting here. Need your advice.

I have a 208, bought in February 2016. It got the recall for air conditioning in 2018. Recently, the air conditioning starts getting very hot every time the car is stationary (e.g at the traffic light, parked in a parking lot). Sometimes this even results in the engine overheating and I’m given a warning to turn off the engine.

Another issue that I have had recently is I have a weird sound coming out of my left front tyres. They were unfortunately replaced with the wrong size of tyres (205/55/16 instead of 195/55/16) but I didn’t have this issue until very recently.

I’m not so confident of sending my car to an official SC. I’ve done some research on Renautech and looks like they’re the real deal. Do you guys think I should send my car there? Also, what do you think are the issues with my car? And lastly, do you guys know roughly how much it will all cost?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

u can send your are to renautech for inspection. No worry, normally they will quote u the price and tell you what is the problem at first.
Price is more reasonable.. can installment for maybank card user (t&c la) .. whistling.gif

Hi everyone, after months of stalking of all y'all comment and feedback, I've finally just got myself a 2013/ 2014 registered used 408 1.6T, as I understand it may or may not be a problematic cars, depending on our luck, hence I've decided to go for a 408 that have warranty until next year June 2021, I will be able to collect the cars on next Monday, do you guys think I should send to service centre or can go to outside professional workshop like renau tech? Thank you guys and I'm really happy to join the Peugeot family!!!!

for me, i send my car to outside service when my 3rd year ownership..

At this rate sound like evaporate and escape from the bottle cap. Try replacing the cap.

hmm... maybe should try this..

QUOTE(jiunkei_46 @ Jan 6 2021, 01:52 PM)
By right should not, maybe the hose which is not good and only leaks when hot temp? The water pump pipe or heater hose maybe?
Last year when i had severe leak on the coolant, upon checking by Renaultech, replaced Thermostat housing, wire, heater hose, water pump pipe.
After that all good.

i done the exact same thing at same place sweat.gif

Hi fellow Peugeot owner,

I have a 408 NA, and my RH side door glass acting weird..like stuck in midway now and then.

Appreciate if any of you guys can share your experience in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance.

own 408 for 7 years and never have this issue.
Maybe you can youtube search "car window not smooth" .. there are some technique like apply some wd40 so and so .. cheap to have a try.
