How to keep your THP engine healthy and happy

wow v4 already !!

Finally..V4

Tks for your feedback on the extended warranty, bro spaceX. Since the claims are vague it's not worth keeping this warranty. In my experience, Inc Co make claims very difficult.

Mine is now 3 years +. I am seriously considering to void warranty. Anyone can suggest good reason for continuing warranty. I welcome your suggestion!

my car only 1 years + and i plan to void my warranty after my 3rd years ..
hehehe ... so far i still can see any "benefit" to holding the 2 years warranty ..
or maybe my heart start itchy on modification already ..

Benefit of warranty depends largely on luck or badluck. Some guys had a lot of claims, warranty was great benefit to them,otherwise a big hole in the pocket.

As for me in the last three years claim 3 small items only. But I still think it is worth keeping first 3 year warranty. My car has been really good,very smooth gb and healthy engine. Now if I can find a good Peugeot workshop, I'm surely going to break warranty. I;m going to try Euro Tech Auto at Taman Mayang, PJ.

Will let you guys know the quality of work.

Its unfair for me to comment on NOT breaking warranty, but you guys got it right, it depends on luck & such.

As for quality technician, and if you're willing to come to Kajang, feel free to drop by our Authorised Peugeot 4S center.

We do offer 2 types of solution for all our customers, within warranty & and out of warranty. We try to give all Peugeot customers best of both world and doing it with Peugeot recognized tools & systems.

This morning I've got brake failure + ESP failure lights and message. My brakes are working fine. I suspect senor failure or even worn brake pads. Done 50k km and have not changed pads yet!

Time for me to checkout an independent Peugeot workshop!

2 days ago my car was having continous strong pullback during gear change 2 3 and 4. Only smooth when driving.in 5. It as though cannot move and then it pull forward jerkingly. At that time the fuel.was low.but.no warning yet. After full.tank there is no prob. I think HP fuel pump gone again. It was changed around May.

U can try joining 308 group in FB, theres a compiled list of reputable independent workshop for our lions

Same goes to me. This morning got that warning light. I presume it because of sensor failure. So i just drove back to Kuantan and planning to send to SC this weekend.
Touchwood, safely arrived to kuantan.

Please refuel your car before warning light on to keep your HPFP healthy.

Thanks for the advice bro.

But is it acceptable since even after warning light, we still have a about 6 liters of fuel.

What I am trying to say is that while it is good to do what you and the SC have requested but is this an acceptable quality of HPFP? My car cannot simple stop middle of the road or have this pull back while I am driving when I still have fuel. Does all other car behaves the same way?

I have deactivated my FB account. Will greatly appreciate if you could post the list here. Tq bro.

do share us how is the quality of Euro Tech Auto ya!
i live nearby, normally saw a few BMW there .. and minis ..

Since you will making a warranty claim, can you find out the cost at the SC. I'll be sending mine outside. Let's check out the price difference.

Yes, will do bro. I'll probably visit them tomorrow. Last year itself I started sourcing around for Peugeot workshops. That's when I came across these guys,made a note of their address. Will post a complete breakdown on cost and quality of work.

Any one who experienced a non SC, Peugeot competent workshop, appreciate your post.Tq.

This post has been edited by SKYjack: Sep 29 2015, 11:04 AM

Did you change HPFP before? I am surprised this has happened cos this is a redesigned HPFP to cater for lower quality/grade of fuel than ours. Certainly not acceptable! It can be very dangerous, especially when you are overtaking.

Hi,

You can download the workshop list at the first post #1.

Hi Bro.

Changed it around May or June when the car broke down completely. Have highlighted to them previously transmission not smooth but nothing has been done yet. I have an apt for other prob...got ggrrrrr sound on RPM1500 and now when car stationery also. Also brake got sound when full stop and release. I have sent an email.to clic abt the HPFP issue also. My full tank RON97 and car very sluggish.

Tq bro.

reporting in

Hi bro.
I visited Euro Tech Auto yesterday. They seem competent and diagnosed my problem to be a faulty rear wheel speed sensor.This workshop handles many European models,they don't specialise on Peugeot. Saw a number of Audi's and Golf GTIs.

However I've decided to try another workshop in Kauy Ara that specialises on Peugeots and Citroens, recommended by a friend. Will let you know about this workshop.

ok ok ..
it benefit to others peugeot users too !

Got my ABS problem fixed. It was a rear wheel speed sensor. Damage total is $360 ( spd sensor $290,labor $70) I think SC will charge about $600. Hope bro RON408 who is making a warranty claim gives us SC charges for comparison.

Name of this workshop is Euro Tech Auto Works. It's at Kayu Ara. The shop shares a space with 3 other workshops, so it may be a bit confusing at first. It's the back shop on the right hand side. You'll see Peugeots & Citroens there.

They are competent although may seem old school,meaning you don't see much of the fancy equipment you see at Nassim SC. No fancy waiting room or a number of frontline staffs. Which is a good thing, as cost will be kept low. The problem was diagnosed and fixed. I think regular service and repairs will not be a problem at this workshop. I believe the mechanice is Peugeot/Citroen trainned. He knew exactly what to do,no fiddleing around or trial and error stuff.

In conclusion, I am satisfied with the work and cost is reasonable. I will be doing all my future maintenance and repairs at this workshop.

i change my brake pad at cost rm420.00 for original peugeot brake pad in kl kuchai lama.
just recently done my 50k service.

Tks for your feedback bro. Front or rear pads?

this Euro Tech Auto Works is different with the taman mayang Euro Tech Auto ?
cause the name look same ..
anyway i guess we should pin the good reputation workshop at first page ...
so that we can have a future reference
anyway $360 i feel is reasonable ...
i guess SC will include those diagnose fees this that ..

Please PM or call our Friendly sales consultant at

where is your workshop?
mine 3 year warranty end Nov 2015 but why my service booklet stated warranty end Nov 2017?

Peugeot cars should be with 5 years warranty. 3 years factory + 2 years Extended.

We are located in Sungai Chua, nearby Restaurant Fei Chui.

You can waze "Peugeot 4S Kajang" or visit our Facebook (click on the link) and checkout our map.

The Balakong SC charge me only Rm497 & used Mobil 1 5W30 5 litre engine oil. Starting from Oct 2015, The Service advisor told me that Peugeot no longer using Petronas Syntium for Turbo Engine due to some technical issue on Turbo.


I feel Mobil 1 5W30 better....

The Balakong SC told me to come on next day....but i m frm Penang....I'cant make it....Can i go to Penang SC to settle this?

why not ?

front brake pad.

Hi all

Suddenly i m having problem with coolant sensor...temperature overshoot.....previous owner did claim....but it happens again.......Peugeot nvr improve the sensor yet?......but after start n turn on the air cond... temp meter back to 90 c....any idea?

This post has been edited by vemaltech: Oct 1 2015, 08:56 PM

if turbo unit ... is normal temp show at 90 c

So far it shows 90c. before that i drove nearby abt 2km to supermarket without aircond on.....stop for shopping......then back...start the engine suddenly temp overshoot to max.....then i stop the engine n restart....immediately on the air cond .....temperature back to 90c

better send to sc for checking (if under warranty)..

Done made appointment coming Monday at Bi Marque Citroen Peugeot Nasim Juru Auto City, Penang......... Peugeot advise me to go there since direct to Naza.....not dealer.....

The sc suspect the coolant sensor....

But last few days, i saw the temp fluctuate between 88c to 90c while driving....

ya ... update us after done ..

Euro Tech Auto Works
No 1033 Jalan Cempaka
Sungai Kayu Ara

It's different workshops. I know a bit confusing when they are almost similar names. The one at Taman Mayag is Euro Tech Auto Sdn Bhd. This one is Euro Tech Auto Works.

Yes it is coolant sensor problem. Common fault on the THP 408s. Appreciate cost feedback,tq.

This post has been edited by SKYjack: Oct 2 2015, 06:48 PM

Hi SkyJack,


Once replace the coolant sensor, can the issue pop up again? Did Peugeot come up with improve version of sensor? any idea?

Hi bro
Once changed should not be any problem further. I change mine last year, like me many here also change. No one has come back to complain.

hi guys! I just changed 1 tyre same MC5 conti.(same as ori). they charged rm420. Is it reasonable? or can get cheaper?
I changed both front tyres and used the spare as the other replacement. Since our spare tyre is not an emergency tyre so, the tyre shop sifu said to use it or
else mite spoil eventually.

That's good price,don't think can get lower.

Yes tyres are lifed, like 5 years I think. So best to use it before expiry.

IMO for the price,MC5 are satisfactory performance and mileage. I'm changing at 50K km.

Attached thumbnail(s)

I was referring to don't let your fuel 100% empty lah bro. Better refuel rather than you stuck at the roadside.

This post has been edited by RON408: Oct 3 2015, 01:37 PM

I remember you already replaced the HPFP long time ago... I don't think the HPFP fail again.
Repeated issue/failure, i advice you to report to CLIC.
BTW, good luck bro.

Just sharing.... Last month project, initiative preventive maintenance.
Carbon deposit at intake valve. Successfully decarbo. Not clean enough.... Bolehlah...
Planning to redo on next occasion.

Mileage : 78k
Since : November 2012
1st year using RON95. 2nd year onwards using RON97.


BEFORE



AFTER

Bro RON408, I'm very surprised to learn our engine has premature carbon build up. I was under the impression our engine had the necessary mods to prevent this carbon buildup.

Can I ask how much city and urban driving you do a month?

Youtube video

It will be some time before I can send my car to the sc.. need some advice here.. as seen in the video, my car had this problem, where during engine cool, the engine faulty error message will come out.. after several minute of warm up the engine to 90c temp, I restart the car, the error will gone automatically, and it seem like no error at all occur.. my question here, is it safe for me to drive the car, until i have time to go to sc? Anyone have any idea, what wrong with my car? Does it have to do with engine oil, since it only happen during engine cooldown..

This post has been edited by akubaem: Oct 4 2015, 12:10 PM

I'm also surprised that our engine has this premature carbon built up. But it happened, i was standing supervision during decarbonisation process. My mechanic snap those pics using my phone. The carbon residue is there...

Years back later i was read at the net that our engine was successfully tested up to 60k without carbon built up due to new mod intoduced for EP6CDTM.
For me any DI engine will experience this whether excessive carbon built up or not.

This is very subjective, driving style, combustion performance as well as fuel quality. Since owning my lion every weekend i drive to KL from Karak. 1hr drive layan corner tekan kaw2. Happy pug!. Weekdays drive 3km from home to office.

Tks for the feedback bro. Your driving practice is very similar to mine.

Hi bro,i'm not able to open your video,so not sure of your exact problem.

Since you are able to start the engine & if the engine operates without any problems, then it is ok.Safe to drive the car. It was probably just a momentary loss of electronic feedback signal to the ECU. This happens sometimes in these modern technology cars which utilize high level of electronics.

However if the problem starts to appear intermittently, then it's an impending failure. If the error appears everytime the engine cools down,then it's sensor failure. In both the case, go to the SC asap.

This post has been edited by SKYjack: Oct 4 2015, 11:33 AM

Dont know why I the Youtube tag not working. Instead I use the link to open youtube in different browser. It is happening intermittently everytime during engine cools down. It will only be ok when the temperature ok already.

Most likely it's a sensor. It is safe to drive,if no time to go to SC right away. However best not to delay the fix too long.

Yeah bro got it replaced last time. Sent in my car to Glenmarie on Friday. Maybe get back tomorrow. Will keep informed of progress.

last year 9/12/2015 is RM395 including balancing. not sure now, i already ask the shop and still wait for reply

great advice captain obvious. u should be an automotive journalist !

really?! but all this while they been using petronas syntium. How bout Total Oil? did they said anytin bout it? coz im using total oil for my engine.

that is some serious carbon built up! does void warranty by doing decarbonizing? how much does it cost to do so?

Now that my car is 3+years already,i've decided not to bother about the +2 warranty. This +2 warranty seems to be a gimmick. Warranty claims appear rather vague.

That means i'll b doing all my maintenance and repairs at an independent workshop. In fact have stared already, just changed left rear ABS sensor outside.

I am a firm believer on Mobil 1 or Amsoil for many many years already. IMO these 2 provide the best protection. Good to hear Peugeot Balakong is now offering this oil.

This post has been edited by SKYjack: Oct 8 2015, 08:27 AM

hi SKYjack.. I believe the SC told me, it might be HPFP problem. Do you know how much this item cost outside? As I might need to bare the cost myself, due to warranty void already.

We at Peugeot 4S Kajang offers 2 types of solution for all Peugeot owners.

1. Within Warranty Peugeots.
2. Out of Warranty Peugeots.

Feel free to drop by for a diagnose or even consultation.

Original is 2k+. There are German OEM which are cheaper. IMO these are just as good.

I am interested in your out of warranty solution. Please let me know cost of changing rear wheel speed sensor for 408THP. Tq.

Hi Bro,

feel free to give us a call at

03-87419088
03-87419188
03-87419288

Look for Sam Chen

Where i can get this cheaper one? Do you have any contact..

All the Peugeot SC now offering Mobil 1 & Total. No more Syntium oil for Turbo Engine. The advisor told me that Syntium Oil causing sludge build inside Turbo return pipe causing Turbo Jammed.....

After few times of Temperature fluctuation incident happens while driving, Finally get the Sensor replacement under warranty last week at Bi Marque Juru,Penang Citroen/Peugeot SC.

But they just add another optional sensor to overcome the issue..... New design frm Peugeot.

But they not able to solve my Rear Boot switch function fault issue. Yesterday, i went to Peugeot CS Euro Bw, They order for me a New Boot switch from France. Apart from that, i found there is a minor Leaking on the Engine Valve Cover & Both Side mirror V Shape rubber tear into pcs......All claim under warranty & expected to get the replacement part in 2 to 3 weeks time.


Hope settle all the issue as Factory warranty end on 27th Dec 2015.....

did anyone bypass their egr valve ?

one of my friend added a oil catch tank, but he said its not effective because after long time the tank still empty.

I found parts at this shop very reasonable.
Asli Auto Sdn
03 61876369

The THP engine has 2 PCV route/hose. 1 is behind the the engine (which goes back to throttle) and 1 is from valve cover to the turbo. When there is boost, the back hose/route will be close off and all your bypass gas will travel through the front route (valve cover to turbo). When there is no boost, which is also majority of our driving style as we dont tekan all the time, the bypass gas will travel through the rear hose to the throttle.

OCC is install through at the front route (valve cover to turbo). I am not sure why you friend's OCC is empty. But it could be because never tekan often. I am not talking about 1 day tekan 2-3 times. I am talking about really aggressive driving where boost is always on and high rev all the time. Because, that is the only time where the engine will route the bypass gas through the front PCV, in this case, where the OCC is connected.

But i was also told by a very experience pug owner that it is not advisable to bypass or delete your PCV or put a OCC. Because the bypass gas to the turbo when you are boosting also serves as a form of extra lubrication and coolant to the turbo when it is on load.

Hope this sharing of info helps.

Copy and paste from V3.

Hope to get some feedback here...

Total damage for timing chain replacement + 70k service at Nasim Balakong.. It's time to void the 4th & 5th year warranty.. Any recommended Peugeot specialist around Cheras & Kajang for "performance tuning"??




This post has been edited by net_mave: Oct 13 2015, 11:39 AM

below 3k .. for me acceptable ..

May I know any reason U had to replace the timing chain? 70k KM seems too low for the timing chain.

The engine was sound like diesel engine while driving. According to the technician, the chain was knocking against the cover and cannot be repair. Unfortunately that mine was just over 3 yrs and therefore no longer covered under warranty.

I was also being told to do the engine decarb coz the carbon buildup was quite bad. They mentioned the enhanced version of 408T engine does not really fixed the carbo build up problem but somehow delaying the buildup. Eventually it's still happened for all GDI engine.

I was charged for a can of additive (RM196.00) to be added in during my next full tank fuel pump.



This post has been edited by net_mave: Oct 13 2015, 02:14 PM

how to use this thing ?
pour into fuel hole after fuel up ?

Yes. That's the instruction given.. Wondering how much if buying from outside?

Fuel additice AKA carbon remover? Do the service adviser get any deposit by promoting that?

That is sad. u have to use it 1 time only?or thers an interval for it? I guess we better do it as well as preventive maintenance.

it's every 8000KM if I'm not mistaken.. Anyone tried Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus?

This post has been edited by net_mave: Oct 15 2015, 09:19 PM

Hi all, would like to check if anyone experiencing whistle sound from the front driver wheel when turning the wheel? It is very obvious if in basement parking... when to SC and they said it is common as most of the car has it. But my friend who own the same model doesn't encounter it which make me feel odd.. appreciate you advice on it. Many thanks

erm ... so far my car no such issue ..
u mean whistle sound is "wee weee" sound ?

Yup

my car has same sound as well. Its normal SC claimed

Think it's from the steering instead of wheel.. I've been bugged with this issue since day 1 and non of the visited workshop can solve this issue. Anyone got it fixed?

The above is quality of the latest Camry hybrid. Quite a number of the same complaint.

I think Peugeot today has come a long way. My car is on 4th year now. No rattles or squeaks. Everything is still tight and feels as good as new. Have had 3 minor issues which were completely solved by SC. No reoccurrence of those issues.

Peugeot today is certainly much better quality and it appears even better than the mighty Toyota! Peugeot blue box has been able to solve all warranty issues. Good to see PBB is making a huge effort. Well done and I hope PBB continues to improve towards customer support & service!

hello 408 owners!

i am considering to get a new 408 with the current promotion 5 years free service for parts and labour. i've been reading the last few pages and searching this forum for approximate maintenance cost from users here that have been enjoying their pug for 4-5 years to estimate roughly potential saving i can make from the free service promo. would be good to have replies from you guys. test drive 408 few weeks back and was grinning all the way and cant sleep well ever since.

currently driving an 8 year old proton savvy amt version. very fun to drive but less reliable as shes getting old now.

cheers!

My 5008 is having the same diesel traktor sound , initially tot is the timing chain. End out foremen found its the denso aircond compressor spoilt. I tot japenise parts should last , its only 53k km . That alone costs 1.9k !!!
