If price is right, and body in good condition, just grab it. For typical mechanical issues, send to Peugeot SC right away after you buy while under warranty. Then do recall program which will make your car feel like new. Seriously. It will also further extend your warranty until 2021. I hope you buy the turbo. The 2.0na is far too antique by today standards.

The best part about 2.0 NA is parts are cheaper and easier to find compared with 1.6T for example engine parts, radiator, brake pad and disk etc.

Have another option, get the sensors from Taobao, OEM only around RM20 per piece for the sensor..
I bought once,after replacing the faulty one, 2 weeks later different one became faulty..really like disease
One irritating thing about the fault is that once fault appears, engine goes into safe mode.. u will feel fear being held up longer
*
Ever tried to clean the sensor with contact cleaner? Most of time you will see dirt or dust on the sensor, not sure if it will help but I will normally clean the sensor when doing brake job.

so far the faulty ones really due to fault..
it is very common issue for Peugeot cars to have faulty ABS sensor after years of usage...
but for me, it has been terrible experience.. even warranty claim units became faulty after 6 months of usage...
which triggers Peugeot to replace all 4 sensors.. worst part of it, once replaced all 4, all 4 became faulty with engine and gearbox fault..
so will need to visit them again to sort it out as previously replacement was done on Sat and due to limited time they unable to complete the troubleshooting..
*
Wow, that's kinda frustrating though when engine and transmission fault appear as well. Can I know what's the issue with engine and transmission, or the fault code just appear because of abs fault?

My denso aircon compressor shows made in Japan. I checked with service center no recall for my aircon compressor, hopefully it is not the faulty batch.

i think 408 do not have aircond compressor recall ..
but i think will koyak .. is common for a 408 have koyak a aircond compressor..
*
Does not make sense when something from Japan would break down so easily. The compressor body and bearing should last for long time. Probably other parts such as magnetic clutch or solenoid failed.

BTW, the aircon will like sometimes cold sometimes not cold before solenoid totally failed.

what could be wrong and how to get it fixed?

Appreciate any advise

Check F11 40A fuse over BSM. If nothing wrong probably relay or blower motor faulty.

I sent my car for multiple warranty claim mainly plastic parts and door panel. The SA key in the recall program including valve cover gasket, cooling coil and fuel pump altogether so I let them proceed. It has been 2 weeks and its not done yet. Started to miss my car.

Work is a bit too slow but I would say their service is pretty good in terms of warranty claim unlike some of the major brand such as Honda and perodua where I have very bad experience with their warranty claim.

Anyone know the reason that caused the rusty part (in a circle) is on the center of the disc rotor, both sides ? I just changed my front brake pads recently.
*
Very likely a bad brake pad. However, it could be caused by uneven disk surface scouring.

Thanks. Will send my car back to the workshop to have a check

Normally should be fix automatically if due to disk scouring after proper brake pad bed in time. Anyway yours seems a little bit more serious than usual so better check with workshop.

Checked by the workshop, that rusting area is due to uneven surface. So far I didn't experience any drop in braking performance.

The mechanic explained that can do skimming on the disc nut he said its a waste of money.

Maybe I try to drive for a period in order for the pad to break in with the surface.
*
Well it normally takes 10 to 30 gentle stops for brake pad to bed in. If it is due scouring then the scouring seems far more serious than usual.

Indeed skimming disk is just waste of money since the brake pad is installed and used for some time. Might as well replace the disk and pad together on next brake service.

I owned a Peugeot 408T since 2016. Very satisfying drive and good fuel consumption. Already driven 49,000 km todate. However, today something weird happened. After travelled from Johor to KL, I stop for car wash.

Suddenly just 5 km from home the car shuddered (bergegar) and then the engine dies off. Stop for few minutes, the car able to start but when engage to D the car were hesitant to move and the dies of again. Waited 10 minutes and the car able to move again, but once reach rome, I was having difficulties in reversing coz the car were hesitant to reverse (high tendency to die off and not moving in reverse).

Has called Peugeot Care, but since all centres are closed today, they asked me to call again tomorrow to arrange check.

What is the expected cause for this issue? Anyone experience the same issue? Already changed HPFP last year (recall), cooling coil & compressor (recall & warranty claim), and roof cloth (warranty claim).
*
Did you quarrel with the car wash people?

Frankly speaking can't really say as many reasons to shaking/lack power engine. CEL should already shows up? No? At 7sch manner It could be ignition coil or spark plug though or anything related to fuel line.

I've been using 408 2.0 car since August 2012 (6 years now) and worst experience were on the aircond (4th year - cooling coil, condensor & 5th year - aircond blower motor) and unfortunate broken timing belt (3rd year - due to missed out replacement during 80k km mileage service but now had revised every 60k km)

Now experienced worn out totally on mounting bracket, shock absorber, etc at the engine (they are under wear & tear items so can't claim warranty - so cost about RM 3.6k). They have to bring down the engine and also have to change the drive shaft (this cost RM 1.8k). Total damage cost including top up aircond gas, labour, battery (somehow less 30% power can't reset the system, so have to buy panasonic DIN62L priced at RM 440) & other consumable parts for overall cost at RM 6.8k. Ughhhhh. Apparently SC PJ told me that these will happen every 6 years!!
*
To be honest 408 2.0 parts are dirt cheap. A full set of engine mounting cost less than rm200 from China. Front strut is about rm 120 and rear absorber is about rm100 or less from China.

No error come out. Will check with service centre soon. After went out from car wash still ok. Travelled around 10km only then the issue hapened.

Will not drive the car this week.
*
Without error code then it should not be ignition issue. Please do keep us updated after checking in service center. Would like to know what could cause such symptom without showing CEL.

Just to update.

I left my car in Glenmarie service center for nearly 2 months for recall and warranty claim. Other than long waiting time, I'm kinda satisfy with what have been done. The car is definitely runs a lot smoother.

1) roofliner replaced.
2) high pressure and low pressure fuel pump replaced.
3) timing chain kit replaced.
4) cooling coil replaced. The aircon is now as effective as local car.
5) rain catcher replaced.
6) Firewall insulator replaced.
7) third brake light set replaced.
8) coolant is properly machine flushed for free.
9) taillight replacement due to fine crack from inside.

There are other interior parts which is pending for replacement due to stock availability.

Anyway the engine is still running noisy at morning startup. Any idea?

Anyone runs 215 50 R17 tyre on 408? Would it helps to make the steering lighter?

Not sure if it will be lighter as THP steering is electro hydraulic. I'm also keen on this size for better comfort & lower cost. Do feedback your expreience.
*
I won't be getting the 215 50 17 tire atm as I will be replacing 2 tyres only, which should follow the original size 225 45 17. My rear tyre still have 60% pattern. Unless someone has a good feedback on 215 50 17 tyre size then I should consider replacing 4 tyres together.

Indeed the steering is overly heavy at stationary and low speed.

I changed from 225/45 MC5s to 235/45 Invos to 215/50  PS3s to 225/45 F1A2s and now I've settled at 215/50 Flevas.

Its more comfortable at 215/50, plus its cheaper too since 215/50 is a more common size. I'd definitely get the 215/50 PS4s for my next change.

The steering weight, I feel no difference between 225/45 and 215/50. One time I felt it become lighter is when the stupid SC filled it up with too much pressure almost 300kpa.
*
Thanks for the feedback on 215 50 17 tyre. Was hoping it could help to counter the heavy steering indeed.

300 kpa is the recommended pressure when the car is fully loaded anyway.

Changed my car Air Intake Grill (rubber lining had already worn off) with a used 308 Air Intake Grill which cost RM220 inclusive of installation. I got this used part from SAL Global Auto Parts at Jalan Subang 4.

And the windscreen Side Trim Rubber for both side. Bought from taobao including delivery charges at RM180. Seems easy to DIY the installation. Anyway, I paid RM30 for the installation fee at the same shop.

Wondering why you don't get the air intake grill from taobao as well?

I have mine replaced under warranty due to crack on rubber seal as well.
