Hi all is it normal to have wind noise when driving over 120km/hr??
*
My experience is that the road surface and hardened tyres make create more noise. When I go on to newly surfaced roads, its less noisy.

Wind - yes, of course, 120km/h contributes to noise as well.

But it might be costly to reduce noise, e.g. very long 3m rubber seals and mats. Anyone here can give better suggestions?

Hi guys,

Just bought and fixed the Drop Stopper in between my seat & handbrake console.
It will help to prevent my phone, coins or keys to fall down between the gap.
Recommend a buy as it is cheap and useful.

I am using the plastic version, it will collect coins, also can be used to store things like phone cable and paper. Useful.

Can try links already suggested here. I've still not fixed mine!

I replaced my denso at Das Werkstatt Auto for about RM1900+. It was stil under warranty then, but I couldn't wait. I am not affiliated to this shop in any way.

Good luck.

I bought Amaron and it last for only 8 months.. I've sent for warranty claim twice.  sweat.gif

anyway, I need some advice from you guys. I had changed to another battery and the power gone within a day.

Then, I've sent the car to SC but they refuse to help me check.  rclxub.gif

I just want to check whether the alternator still in good working condition or not. Is there a way I can do this on my own?

Can teach me pls?  notworthy.gif

Another thing, Is resetting the ECU necessary once change to new battery?
*
I have something like this https://www.lelong.com.my/kx/car+battery+meter.htm

Plug in to check from time to time, e.g. monthly.

Higher profile tyres will certainly add comfort. All those rough road surface gets dampened a little bit more adding to comfort. I'm not sure about noise levels. That may be the same cos noise levels depend on thread pattern & tyre compound.

Take note in general any increase in comfort will be at the compromise of handling. In your case there will be slight decrease in handling. But if you are not a spirited driver you'll hardly notice it. Comfort levels will certainly be noticeable. Btw do inform SC to reset ECU, tyre profile changes do affect vehicle speed indications.

I am on Goodyear Excellence same size as MC5. This tyre although same profile as original tyres, is a lot more comfortable. Now all the potholes around my housing don't feel that jarring. Very pleased with this tyre and it's slightly cheaper, $340 a piece. Remember I said comfort will be at the expense of handling. On these tyres, there  is slight high speed instability beyond 150kmh.Not that you can't exceed 150kmh, the car is not as planted as with MC5, there is slight float tendency. As our roads are not safe for such speeds I usually don't , therefore I find this tyre just right for me!
*
Thanks for the feedback. I'm spirited taking corners and I go beyond 170km/hr almost daily. I guess I'll just hv to bear with profile 45. I'm using michelin ps3 for 1.5years now. Next I'll probably go for ps 4.

Since you are spirited driver & also high speeds, PS4 is better choice for you. You are lucky man..... every time I go beyond 150kmh my wife will start wayang kulit.....hehehe!

Lol I get the same treatment, so I only get to do 170 when driving to fro work alone. I have to pump up the radio vol too, else I can listen to news. There will be complains when I forget to turn it down during weekend drives with family.

Here's a Air con shop that does good & proper work on Peugeots .

Master cool car service
61 jalan Othman timer
PJ
0126966711

Note changing compressor alone is not sufficient,consenser must also be changed. This shop proved it to me. My condenser was removed and tested. It was 40% blocked & leaking.

With Peugeots, to remove condenser, whole dashboard & steering must be removed. I was worried will end up with tikus sound when dashbôard is assembled. Happy to say, no tikus sound , did 100km yesterday.

Thanks for sharing. How much was the damage for compressor, condenser, workmanship? How long did it take?

Squeaking sound on and off coming from belt, outside mechanic says due to tensioner needs replacement. Tensioner is seen to me vibrating when running. I'm afraid my belt will snap again.

Anyone experienced this, how much is tensioner?

As i know Peugeot France is really doing things trying to win back the trust of the consumer on this brand.. that including possibility of changing the official authorize dealer here in Malaysia...
Let's see..
*
i wonder if they know what the burning problems are? If they don't then how to fix?

To me, its not how long the warranty is, but rather how soon the problems get fixed, with least inconvenience. I don't mind 5 years warranty as long as authorized service centers can fix things as fast as non-authorized ones outside.

I'm going to need to change 4 of my tyres soon. Any suggestion? Would be better if it is more affordable than the original continentals (turbo model). I'm in JB area. Also, anyone experienced steering with slight vibration at speeds above 120KM/h but it slowly fades off once the speed passes 150 km/h. Also, when it's vibrating, you can feel somehow the steering is loose, where in you turn a little bit but there's no response. Thank you in advance.

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Jul 29 2017, 06:45 PM)
If you are a high speed driver, Continentals are good value for money. Michelin are better ,but more expensive.

If you want to reduce cost, try Goodyear Excellence. These are more comfortable than Conti, but compromise is on high speed. Not much ,but slight highspeed instability at speeds above 150kmh.

My conti mc5 stock lasted only 35000km. I switched to ps3, better grip lasted 50+k km. Now using ps4.

I did these last year:
1. Timing
2. Breather hose – Labour
3. Oil Pump Solenoid
4. Water Pump
5. Turbo Electric Coolant Pump

Today I just received reply from CLIC that I need to replace these:
1. Evaporator assembly
2. High Pressure Fuel Pump
3. Fitting of a thermal protector on the turbo pipe
4. 408 Timing
5. 408 Water Pump

I suppose I have to leave my car in SC for 2 weeks again. Lucky I have a long year end holiday coming up.

My car now at setia alam service center for enhancement since Tuesday.  They can only do 8/9 items though. Should get my car back on Monday, but thanks to najib now it most likely have to be Tuesday. Damn sucks to not have my lion during this long holiday.  Also booked an appointment at Kota damansara two weeks later for the 9th recall item. Hopefully they have stock. I'm going to see if I qualify for 7 year warranty during this time since I should have completed all the enhancements. Need to fix my turbo, something wrong with the hose or blowoff. 2 engine faults showing. Fuel consumption is about 12l/100km,way over the original spec of 8l/100km. And thats me driving like a nanny. Also my ride and handling sucks balls, even my myvi rides better. I think the front absorbers are jammed. My steering wobbles over uneven roads, ride is very bouncy, feels like I'm not glued to the road. I don't see any leaks on absorber so I dunno if can claim warranty if there's no visible damage?

1 week downtime is quite fast already . What's your mileage?

This is so typical of Naza. A lot of ppl are not happy with Naza poor customer support. This is also partly the reason pug RV is poor.

Anyway if your car is running well, don't bother about 7year warranty. Mine on 6th year now and running well. I am not taking the 7yeär warranty. Some sensors like ABS or Coolant sensor may go faulty. These sensors are not very expensive, cost around $200/- Recently I changed turbo inlet pipe, cost $480/-.

One thing I can say is my car is better maintained now with outside workshop. The quality of work is much better than at SC. The problem is fixed, car doesn't come back with new problems!
*
I might have missed your posts earlier, which workshop do you frequent?

I changed my cooling coil, condenser outside recently, but the problem is coming back.

Thanks.
