1. RON95 shouldn't is a problem as some of our member use RON95 and so far so good.
2. not sure, normally i pump full when half tank (1 week once)
3. not necessary, as long not over 500km from your expected service mileage then is good. (to protect your warranty)

my 2 cents

I am one of the very early owners of 408t. My car is coming to the end of the 4th year. Here's my take on the above advice.

1. Is probably true for older series of Prince engine. Our version,EP6CDTM, has no problem with RON95.i've been on ron95 since day 1.
2. Good advice, top up at least when the fuel low light appears. Not a good idea to wait till empty.
3. Not true, but no harm. Preventive maintenance is always a good practice! Certainly follow service schedule religiously.

Hi,

I just owned 408t car ..hehe. This is my first turbo car.
I wanna check with any Peugeot 408t owner here, is the engine sound very loud when still running?
I suspect especially when I on air-cond, the sound get louder.

Not sure is this normal.

Normal

13 Mac (Sunday), my air cond blower spoil, totally no air but lucky already at night.
Symtom, the aircond with "bird" sound.
14 Mac, send to Glenmarie SC and get the blower replaced the next day.
Claim under extended warranty and not sure what is the cost

That was fast . I had to wait 2-3 weeks to get approval for compressor replacement under extended warranty and took another 1 week to get it replace by their outsourced center for air-con at PJ.

it looks like almost all cars had their compressors replaced to date?

Mine no compressor replacement, clic sent me these:
1. Timing
2. Breather hose – Labour
3. Oil Pump Solenoid
4. Water Pump
5. Turbo Electric Coolant Pump

So my compressor is good as it is? My car is 2.5 years.

I checked with sc and they said they hv to check the car first, and not necessarily replace all these items recommended by clic. Normal?

You send your car to which SC? Geotauto PJ?

Normal. I had the same question before.

Puchong SC for compressor - extended warranty but for enhancement pack at Balakong SC

My car lost power in the middle of the highway 3 times and then again on a normal road. This was at about 60kmh and with about a quarter tank of fuel on all occasions. I'm sure this is related to my HPFP but has anyone experienced this? Have yet to get this checked by SC.

*Lost power means the engine is running but the accelerator pedal does nothing for about 3 seconds.

For recall, SC says my car has needs replacement of the following:
1. Timing chain
2. Timing chain 'seal 1' and 'seal 2' - can someone tell me what this is?
3. Oil pump solenoid
4. Water pump (the whole unit and I'm assuming all hoses)
5. Temperature sensor

Will take one week to do, sending in this weekend.

mine is air-cond blower fan, not compressor.
totally no air blow out.
anyhow still feel so lucky can settle within 2 days at Gleanmarie

any recommendation on battery?
i changed DIN60L on 19/7/2014,cost RM560 for Delkor Brand.
have a feeling its almost time to change again.

What is the actual battey model for 408(2.0), some say Din66, Din55, Din65.

Century proposed Din 66 at RM360
SC Kajand said Din65 at RM540

size is doesnt matter as long can fit..
mine is DIN75 (Silver calcium battery) .. damage RM583 (incld 6% gst)

Battery really kong
anyone got any experince using Century Battery?
Which Din to use?
Do we need to send back to SC for reprogram anything?

no need to send SC for reprogram.. ori is DIN60 / 66 (if not mistaken)

Original for 408NA is DIN55

Century, Delkor or Yokohama are ok for our Pug. DIN 55,66,75 are ok, depends on size to fit into battery box. Higher the DIN higher the capacity. Battery price varies according to capacity, $300 - $500+ non SC price.

Delkor last me 2years. Unknown local brand DIN 66, last only 9months!

Keep the engine running while battery change, retains all original settings. No need to go to SC!

Thanks Sky
Just got battery change by Century Battery Assist, they replace for me Din55L at RM300-RM15(trade in old bat)
He siad Din 66 or 75 cannot not fit into my battery compartment (too long), not sure how true...
Mine earlier Delkor Din55 (56077) replaced at SC Kota Damansara on 19/7/2014 (RM560).

Bro, how to change battery with engine running? my car cannot start already.
If i change with engine off, after change do i need to go SC for setting?

What brand is this battery?

That's good price for DIN 55. I think higher DIN battery by Century are larger in size, cannot fit into our battery box. There are other brands that will fit into our battery box, but do not go for unknown brands. For sure they will not last, even though higher DIN.

If battery dead, one way is to jump start engine before battery change. As far as I know, you need to go to SC for reset, unless the Century Battery Assist have the equipment to reset and have done it for you. Just check with them.
