QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 9 2015, 09:13 AM) 4th & 5th year warranty covers only engine & gearbox.Sensors are cheap, around $200. I won't say this model is prone to list of defects you stated, as not every owner faced the problems. A very few had coolant temp.sensor & air con bearing claimed under warranty. It is important to note, none has come back to complaint recurrence of the problem. Therefore these defects are not proned , but rather they were qc issues. This model carries a redesigned turbo unit. No one has any complaints , mine on 4th year, no problems! Gear box, no issues at all, mine still silky smooth. You may want to note, VW dsg & Frod's dual clutch gb issues are still not resolved. This engine/gb combo has proved itself reliable already, go for it!  I wonder Why Nasim can't state it as simple as that like you did there bro?  After all it is a third party insurance coverage  (actually we all know why)

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Jan 6 2016, 08:49 AM) Twice for the compressor itself. Compressor kong first time, got it replaced after 2 weeks. 2 days later after the compressor replaced, the same symptom appeared, sent back to SC, diagnosed as compressor failure again. Got it changed again. yo bro, what is your mileage like now, my NA has changed once too at roughly about 45,000km, at what mileages were yours (Turbo) changed?

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Jan 7 2016, 08:21 AM) I encounter few owners who had this claimed also. Aircon issue is quite common for the problematic 308 as well Yup. Heard the same complaints from a 307 owners during chats at service centre, he nodded knowingly when I answered him I was there for compressor issue

LOL. Although bought my 408 2.0 back in sept 2012, i am going to reach my 100k km mileage in a week or two. Then i would get to celebrate indepency from the aithorised SC and jump ship to the recommended listed centre at first page to do the 100k km service
Anyone else passing that 100k km theshold already? How did one celebrate such a thing? Any idea?

QUOTE(Pugbunny @ May 18 2019, 01:02 PM) I replaced mine at Renautech RM1.5k with, 1 year warranty Ok. Thanks. Got a quote of same 1.4k for it or 1.5k+ inclusive labour. Just for comparison, official SC quoted 3.5k inclusive labour. Crazy.

QUOTE(SKYjack @ May 20 2019, 08:05 AM) SC price is crazy,they are just killing themselve! The quality of work is rubbish. Often issues are not solved leaving owners regretting buying a Pug. This is the main reason for Pugs to drop RV so low. More & more owners are maintaining Pugs at outside workshops where proper work is done. I've stoped going to SC for the last 4years! Yet they are always packed and fully booked. I kid you not

QUOTE(Pugbunny @ Nov 8 2020, 08:12 AM) For nearby Ipoh owners, can survey this out LOL....When I was in n Ipoh for biz back in August, I was looking for the peugeot service centre for a car issues and when I went there, it was closed for renovation....And now see you posted this in November 2020. Thanks anyway, good to know that Pug still can be supported somewhat by these independent outsider (especially in non Klang valley region) when even Nasim has decided to give it all up along with Kia
