Thank you for sharing.

For sure with the shield will have an additional protection to our engine and gearbox and so on. Your friend said engine bay become cooler with shield?
But I doubt that with protection shield will cause the heat at the engine bay build up faster if stop longer time in the traffic jam ? and is it maybe gradually decrease life span of electronic parts in long run?

Also I read a some review from internet that they heard engine sound are become more louder in cabin with shield installed. Maybe shield blocking the sound out and then transmit to cabin. I prefer have effect in sound isolation but not obvious i think.

I still consider whether install it or not.

I am not sure about the sound. I didnt received that comment from the user.

The engine bay is cooler, i guess is because of the vents. When you cover the entire bottom front end, and leaving only a few vents, you are creating a much higher pressure in the engine bay (when car is in motion). As the car moves, wind passes underneath the car and the vents, causing a very low pressure area. And thus, the higher air pressure inside the engine bay will be force out (the heat). Comparing to stock, where everything is open (your can see the floor from the top of the engine), the usage efficiency of the difference in pressure is not as good (hot air travels upwards). Because of the less efficiency, there may be heat flowing around the bay. Is like blowing water through a big straw(less pressure) and small straw (high pressure).

As for traffic jams, i think all cars the heat also build up faster.....So no difference in traffic jams....


Please ya...I dont work for Orsen....I am not selling their product....Just sharing what i have gathered and researched......I myself also will get it later on.....

As the enhancement package is for the 1.6THP engines, your 2012 year model should also be included in the list. Email CLIC, they'll give you a positive answer. Priority is on 508 & 308,got to be a little patient with your vehicle.

Since mine is 408, appointment date for enhancement package is 2 months.

I have 4 items on mine. Breather hose left out on mine. Did they give you an appointment date. Make sure to get appointment reference number!

Peugeot QC would have identified manufacturing defects on certain batches of each component. Huge company like Peugeot would have out sourced to several manufacturing vendors. QC has traced the vehicles these parts are fitted and formed the recall list. So guys don't worry if you have less recall items. It simply means you have less defective parts on your car!

I must also qualify the word 'defective parts'. It means, parts not made to Peugeot standards. It does not mean these parts will fail. Sorry for using the exact words as in my line of work. Don't want to alert a panic!

Did they book the appointment for us or we hv to make appointment on our own?

Coz when i email clic, they ask me where i want to do the enhancement, after reply i want to do it at geot auto they ask me to wait for them to make the arrangement with geot auto.

But after a week still no reply for them, today they call and ask where i want to do the enhancement sweat.gif
