Thanks SKYjack, appreciate it

My car battery just dead. Peugeot 408 e-THP. The ori one should be Varta 570. Anyone new recommendations for car battery model for 408 e-THP?

Spent an hour to replace spark plugs which would normally takes about 10 mins to complete. Reason being corrosion found on spark plug and spark plug well, and must clean them before installing new spark plug. I guess service center never replace the spark plug for me at 30K km while still charging me. Reason being service center is supplying platinum plug, and the plugs I removed from my car are iridium plug, which I believe should be stock plug. Anyway, does anyone has the same issue where the sparks are corroded?

I am using Amaron and it is still going strong after 22 months :-)

I'm using Amaron too, battery hold up through the entire MCO, just start & idle for 20 minutes once every 2 to 3 days, until now still good.. my old Century only lasted 1.5 years even i use my car everyday..

Bro, this not a good idea. Infact the battery will be further depleted.

At idle rpm the alternator does not produce enough emf to fulfill the vehicle's total electrical needs. At this time battery supplements.

You need to run the engine around 1500rpm, so that no battery discharge + recharged.

I'm looking for 408 boot strut, Shopee, Lazada selling 155 original or 90 OEM. Anywhere else selling cheaper?

Thanks.

Taobao. Bought mine at rm24 a pair.

Thanks so much for the heads up. I'll need to look for someone to help me with taobao. Lol

Here is the link. No problem after using more than a year. Taobao official shipping is a lot more user friendly now compared with years ago. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09...._u=r37pl8sb7b0e

I remember Stabilus original boot strut cost around RM 50-60. I don't bother to use original since the item is extremely easy to access and replace.

Edit: Only problem is the strut is a bit too strong for the first few months.

No problem. Glad it works.

Hi anyone renew their 2012 insurance lately? May I know what is the market value? My insurer told me rm28k. Too high isn't it?

just survey online and purchase online directly can deduct 10% rebates. Ask insurance guys, sure they love adding more for insured value.

Hi,
Normally insurance company valuation are higher.
Theirs are not based on buying or selling price which is very inconsistent.
Mine is Y2016 , with add on for Betterment cover so as in the event of repair claim, I can send in to Peugeot 4S.
Peace of mind for me.

For Turbo?

Mine NA year 2012, the renewal sum insured is RM20,000.

Gais... My pug is due for service but mileage managed to clock 3,500 km since the last service. Less driving due to movement restriction for the past few months. I am thinking to wait until 5,000 km before sending the car for service. Shall i do that?

if your car is no more under warranty, and if you used a fully synthetic last service, u can let it until 1 year duration. this from what I heard in Autotec segment in Traxx FM last time
