Sent you pm. Don't want to expose the SC in public because at least they admit they are wrong and they are the only SC which would allow me to keep changing my appointment date. They do also fixed my car ventilation issue on the spot with my second visit and complain. after all they are probably just overlook.

Indeed it is blue with very minimal green tint when it is new. Service advisor told me ex owner probably replaced it with green coolant.

The technician who fixed my ventilation issue told me the coolant does turn to green after a long period.

Before change it was sort of light green.

After change it is blue with green tint. Probably due to a bit leftover.

Indeed aftermarket is better,and of course a lot cheaper. Anyway, here's latest update from SC.

I thought that is just sticker? You could just peel off the sticker and polish. it will gives you the original paint.

Unless you are talking about this.

Well some of the Peugeot SC senior technician actually know about their cars inside out. I believe it is their frontline does not have enough training or does not really know how to deal with people. They don't have a proper procedure to ensure quality control and makes customers happy.

Anyway,
Can I know if it is Aisin 6AT? Okay I'm not defending Peugeot SC and I'm not saying the non Peugeot workshop does not know about aisin 6AT but could it because they did not release both of the drain nut? Aisin 6AT drain/fill and level check does not work like conventional AT. For aisin 6AT you will need to first release the level check nut, which will normally gives 0.5 litre draining, then the main drain nut which will gives about 3 litres or less.

Newer transmission is kinda headache at maintenance. I remember I have seen a Volkswagen golf Gti does not take transmission fluid unless you pump them in.

Well it was bumper lips that I have shown you.

Spent a whole day over the weekend to install a 9 inches HU, front recorder, back recorder, reverse camera, extra cigarette socket, and etc. . No drilling and wire cutting.

Is there any existing usb port on the original headunit? I can't seems to find one though. Anyway, the 9" head unit comes with 2 USB port, I use one for car recorder, another one extended to the glove box.

I have no idea about mic indeed. Never bother connecting my phone to the HU.

No idea about the armrest USB is actually connected to the HU. Anyway, the USB port at the armrest is never working fine from the first day. I thought it's a charger but never properly get my phone charged. Does it won't charge your phone? I will get it check by service center on the next service.

Mic is working if you connect your phone to the C panel. However, if you use the HU dialer then it will use the HU in built mic.

The HU is so far okay. No lag, strong WiFi and GPS. However, no Google play. I tried to install google store and so forth but it will fail when accessing Google play service. Some seller does offer HU comes with Google play at some amount though.

You may install apk like usual. Google offline maps will not work due to unable to sign in to Google. I have yet to copy the cache file from my phone to the HU though.

Physically the HU body is a bit thicker than usual but does not seems too awkward in my opinion though.

I have the same issue where the roof headliner started to peel off. I use spray type adhesive and it works but the fabric already shrink a little bit. Use as little material as pissible as too much would penetrate the fabric.

BTW, after 1 month, upon checking with Peugeot warranty claim department, I just found out the shithole at Peugeot Kota damansara did not submit my warranty claim to HQ. Now I need to resend my car to HQ for inspection and warranty claim. So make sure you call the HQ few days after submitting the case for confirmation.

I can't confirm how long does it takes because I'm going to resend my car for inspection and open case.

Referring to other user it will takes 3 months for the item to arrive. They will replace it instead of repair.

Just wondering is it possible to check the cooling coil size if you are getting it replaced? I'm thinking to get one ready as spare since so many evaporator coil kaput case. I assume it is Valeo climate control system though.

Indeed my evaporator coil is under recall. The last time I called I think they will put me on September (can't remember is 2018 or 2019).

I did check my aircon system and it is basically working in perfect condition (I checked the pressure myself at home). Not intended to have it replaced since it's perfect.

If it only last for 2 weeks after refill then it's kinda serious leak.

If it could last for few months you could actually refill the gas with sealer until your parts arrive. Sometimes it would works slowing down the leak.

I'm wondering how could the original denso compressor from Japan break down that easily. Can I know was it low on refrigerant before the aircon compressor say bye bye?

About the Pokka compressor, can I know how does it looks like? Does it looks exactly the same like original 408 aircon compressor or it is slightly different where there's one extra cable adapter at the magnetic clutch?

Never heard of using a OEM cooling coil will caused frozen issue unless blockage. If I'm not mistaken the aircon pressure sensor is located at engine bay near the coolant resavior. Not sure how are they going to relocate that.

Please do keep us update if you happen to get it replaced.

Most of time it's probably just magnetic clutch failure. Another part where many people overlook is the solenoid (yes, magnetic related again) over the aircon compressor. If no leak, crack, or jam probably could look into these 2 parts.

You are lucky I took the picture when I did that on the BSI.

Well I don't know 408 has ACC. I thought it go straight to ON position.

Anyway, just tap to the reading light fuse would do. The rest of the fuse are kinda complicated due to economy mode and etc. You also want to avoid taking current from sensitive port such as airbag, esc and etc. If you are using Korean cam and using parking mode then look for always on port. Test it with multimeter. I remember the few 30A fuse at right most are always On fuse.

For the earth or neutral line just use the nearby metal which shown in the second pic I attached earlier.

Price seems reasonable for me for a full overhaul.

I remember a couple of monkeys quoted me rm3000 to 4000 to overhaul a 2005 vios engine years ago.
