I'd be surprised if you can't find something you like with them. You can use Wase or google. Btw, they do excellent work in restoring old battered rims like new!

QUOTE(sylverJTR14 @ Jan 21 2021, 03:51 PM) Hi fellow Peugeot owners, I owned a 2016 Peugeot 408 1.6 Turbo. Recently I experience something funny with the car and would like to seek fellow sifus advice. Let's say if my car fuel is half or less than half tank, with that if I take a right turn at moderate speed of about 50 to 70 km/h ( like turning off from highway), my car will pull back, for 1 sec or 2, it feels like no power and going to stall, but recovers. This doesnt happen when I make a left turn, or if the fuel is more than half tank. I suspect that it could be my HPFP, yet to get it checked at workshop due to PKP. I hope sifus here can enlighten me a bit. Im sorry if this was discussed earlier in the forum, Im new in this platform.  Don't know man, sounds like ECU dying.

I went to kings of rim and met Jeff. He showed me 3 options for our car. All 3 looked better than my stock rim😄. So i took the matt black ones. I like the look of my car nw. I mean i like it more now la😬😬. This new rim offset is +25, compare to the stock +32. So it is not so inside the wheel well now. I'll share some picts later. Thank you again sifus.

Apparently it can be the ABS sensors or the ECU itself😰 But thank God it was two rear ABS sensors. From that diagnostic check, i know ECU has got no issues...yet. but if fuel pump, especially low pressure ones fail, no fault code will be generated. U just cant start yr car anymore😅😅

Not all defects register a fault code. I especially hate the hantu types, appear when you drive but disappear at the workshop. This is where experience plays a big part. Fortunately Renautech & Bros Auto do excellent work on Pugs. I'd let them handle it.

My aircond vent now blasting out these black colour debris. Some are very tiny. I am thinking to use vacuum to suck it out. Should I get it fix? Any owner encountered before?

Any owner encountered before?  This is normal after a few years. I had it too. I service my air con every 2years once at Master Cool in PJ old town. They check the whole system vacume and refill gas. Last time a tiny O ring on a valve was leaking. Had I not done this service, all gas would have leaked out & eventually cause compressor+condensor damage $200 for that service saved me $5000! I cant stress enough on this service at least once in 2 years!

Sifus, my front absorbers are making the squeaking sound whenever I go over the hump. What will be the damage to get this replaced? And do we install the same type of absorbers or there are better options for our pug? I always wondered if 2.0 and 1.6T 408 are using the same absorber or not? Cz I know 2.0 feels softer n more comfort(from my testdriving years ago). So the stiffness in our 1.6T is bcz of different spring rate? Or our entire suspension system is different from 2.0? Appreciate some information on this

However this shop is one of Peugeot air con outsourced vendor. As such they specialise on Peugeots. Therfore no fear, they do a good job od putting everything back togather. Garentee no tikus sound! It's been 5 years since I last changed compressor + condensor. 3years ago did air con servicing. Wanted to go for aircon service end of last year,but did copressor + condensor on recall at Peugeot. I will visit Master cool for regular service end of this year!

Appreciate some information on this  Normally replacing the absorber mounting would fix the issue. Yes 2.0 strut is softer but they are interchangeable with 1.6T. Spring rate are different though.
