thanks and happy new year

my car is 7th years now. no major service for Engine/Gearbox yet

Any estimate how much it will cost?

Also any future hiccups that i need to be aware of?

thinking to either change car or continue with it

Yours one is turbo?

7th year, i presumed the mileage ia more than 120k km?

Things to take note:
- To service the alternator
- Gearbox solenoid valves (need the faulty code to confirm)
- Catalytic converter

Based on my experience for NA.

Hi guys,
currently I'm using 215/55/17 tyres on my 408 2.0. I'm wondering whether it is ok and safe to change to 215/60/R17. My friend offered me 4 practically new tyres from his Proton X50 quite cheap but not sure whether it is suitable? wud there be any issues? TKS

Tire Size Comparison
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
215/55-17 4.7in 13.2in 26.3in 82.7in 767 0.0%
215/60-17 5.1in 13.6in 27.2in 85.3in 743 3.2%

basically at 100km/h, your speedometer will show as 103km/h. the rest, i leave to friends in this forum to elaborate

Tks bro

By 7th year you should have done 2 major service! I'd suggest better get it done immediately! All fluids in engine & gb must be changed! You run the risk of several problematic issues! I assure you it wont be hiccups, it will be major headaches!

Cost is $2500 +/-.

Yes as mention there is a small speed indication difference. I believe this can be corrected by system software.

There is no safety issue. Small compromise on handling, but comfort is improved.

I'd say go for it.

TQTQ bro

BTW the rims look damn chantik!
Lazada got peugeot center wheel logo. Fit those & u'll have a sexy Pug!

USJ is quite far from my home

Tried calling Bros workshop in KD but no one pick up. This is the number i call (019-664 1974). Got the number from google

maybe i try again later at 4pm

bros auto always busy one. tried to make appointment with them before, but so difficult to get confirmation. so ended up with workshops at batu caves instead.

Anyone got any recommended paint shop for Peugeot 408 near Damansara area?

Hi guys I need some advice and help from the expert of 408 on this grup. I am using 408 1.6 year 2012. Recently I have this problem. My engine oil always less. I need to top up once a month. Anyone know what the problem

How much are you topping up? If there are no leaks, its normal for this engine to consume up to 1ltr/5Kkm. Any more, requires workshop inspection.

As the car is 10 years already, common for valve cover to leak. What is your mileage ?

Thanks bro for the Advice...milage around 120k.
And I top more than 1ltr per 5 km...

Hi..anyone know 408 1.6 engine overhaul cost

That is more than normal consumption. I reckon complete overhaul will cost $3K +. Contact Renautech, William will give you the precise costing.
