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!

Just sharing, here's the maintenance cost for the 308 after warranty

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3795042

As for the 408 using more reliable parts than the 308, shouldnt cost this much..

sorry if i post in the wrong topic

hi

im new here and i spend almost rm40K to repair my 308cc model and it does not work well until now, can i know what is this recall about, can i still get this recall service thingy? i bought it on year of 2011, please kindly advice, thanks guys
*
Hi, i am a 308cc driver as well and to date the car maintenance fees is around 10k/year also, just recently did the recall at Glenmarie SC, just call them and they will set an appointment. So much more things to do to this car as well..

As for this year, 2017

Here is what the car has gone through

- 100k KM service - RM1200
- Suspension works - RM2310.80
- Recall parts 1 (oilcooler adapter, turbo electric coolant pump,
Water pump , breather hose) - FOC
- HID bulbs – RM 370
- Engine oil topup 3L – RM127
- (pair) Yokohama Advan Fleva – RM 900
- Recall parts 2 ( Waterpump, timing chain, HPFP, Cooling coil, oil pump kit, ECU update) – FOC
- 110k KM service + coolant flush - RM670

The car will intermittently throw a check engine light but due to the OBD port is not functioning, nothing can be done to rectify the issue. Both SC and specialists have identified that the main wiring harness has been shot thus leading to the inactive OBD2 connector. And the cost to replace the main harness is around 15k

guys, would like to ask if any of you experienced before ABS alarm fault with Engine fault alarm, even after replacing all the sensors, alarm still there and not clearing and unable to locate the fault?
SC replaced all sensors (claim and with the advice from HQ to replace all 4), but after replacing, alarm still there.  Troubleshoot whole day still unable to resolve and they need to ask France for assistance.
I tried outside with RenauTech (when i do decarbon of the engine), they also unable to locate where could be the issue..
so would like to ask if anyone experienced it before?

When scanning the engine fault what fault code appeared ?

What they mentioned is that the engine fault was due to the ABS fault.
The code will be shown in the diagnostic tool?

Yes, usually got some codes like P0301 or something like that

I've lost count, really. I would have to dig up all my emails to clic over the years.
Off the top of my head, the timing chain broke and practically destroyed the engine, ac cooling coil broke down, high pressure fuel pump, down to small things like the gear knob completely disintegrating. All I remember is I've never driven this car for 2 months without having to bring it into the workshop.

Look, I've got more things to worry about than bringing my car around the state for 2nd or 3rd opinions back and forth. If you can't trust the authorized sc to do the bare minimum, you know there's a problem with the brand.
I've been to renautech and bros, but I can't be driving there and back to the sc every time.

The latest case is the final straw. Not only did they waste my time, and try to make me wait another 6 months for an inspection, they were also rude, and did an utterly unprofessional job at something as simple as topping up engine oil - they forgot to put the cap back on.

Imagine, I had driven my pregnant wife for a distance before we noticed the smell and smoke coming from the engine bay. My pregnant wife had been inhaling engine oil fumes straight from the engine.

Totally understand your frustration, had similar experience also with the HPFP , cooling coil and whatnots. Really best to just get rid of the car

Mine also few month after a full overhaul, now coolant leaking again and engine oil level sensor malfunction

Thanks for your sharing, kinda interesting to know the aircond system will cost 3k+ to fix it.

Aside this I've seen comment about timing chain tensioner giving up and to replace reckon change whole set complete timing chains kit.

Anyone has clue on this particular problem?

Peugeot car seems to suffered major depreciation compared to other conti's.

The timing chain is a recall item for 308, not too sure if its the same for the 408 but do call SC to check

Are you still having this problem? I feel it could be HPFP issue, which is common on our Pug!

Problem suddenly fixed by itself not sure how. It has some very very minor jerk now almost unnoticeable unlike the time i posted jerk very bad..

Feel like might be the gearbox mounting

Sounds like sticky solenoid. Does the symptom gets better when the engine is hot? I guess you did regular fluid change and the workshop use the correct atf fluid, right?

When it was jerking last time it doesnt matter it was cold or warm engine. The jerk was bad, but now cold or warm also no difference, very unnoticeable jerk
