QUOTE(wjchay @ Mar 31 2016, 08:58 AM) That's what I told others. Although it has relatively more downtime compared to Japs or Potongs, but the safety features and fun factors are much better, so one has to decide what one wants. It was a much difficult decision to make when the price was 120k, now that the price is 86k.....well. Another way to look at this: if you get to choose your birthday present - either city or 408T, which one would you take?Wrong comparison bro. City is B segment, 408T is C segment. You should be asking if you get to choose between a Mazda 3 or 408T which would you take? |

QUOTE(Zephyr_Mage @ Apr 20 2016, 06:45 PM) OK so after escalation my car is finally checked. Damages: 1. Timing pad broke (after 60k? Really?) and the timing chain damaged other stuff in the timing system. 2. Leaking coolant due to leakage in the thermostat. Total damage: RM44xx. Best part? Apparently they are not covered under warranty as they are considered "wear and tear'. Really? Leaking is wear and tear? Timing pad breaking and damaging the entire timing system is wear and tear? I defied everyone when I bought the pug. Now it comes back and bites me hard. What a sad experience. Don't give up. Try to insist to Clic that these are defects, not wear and tear items. If you don't succeed my suggestion is to take your car and repair outside where the cost may be cheaper. You may forfeit whatever is left of your warranty but with this attitude the warranty is worth nothing. |

QUOTE(Fongtology @ Jun 24 2016, 09:00 PM) Thanks for the sharing........ So i'm just standby around 1k to 2k per year as maintenance budget will do............ Ok..... tomorrow onward will start go sourcing for 408 and test drive........ yuhoooooooooooooo... 1K to 2K a year is nothing to maintain a Conti car. You better have at least 20K to 30K in your pocket. |

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Aug 12 2016, 10:35 AM) How long u spent to get your cooling coil fix under EWP? Mine cooling coil claim EWP which takes more than 1 month  09 May 16: Sent in diagnose as aircon not cold, found gas leakage, paid Rm150 for gas refill and leakage detector 14 July 16: Not cold again, send in and found cooling coil leakage, file in for EWP claim 30 July 16: Car sent in to SC and leave it there wait for insurance adjuster inspection 11 Aug 16: Informed claim approved by insurance company, awaiting to repair And now my car still siting in SC collect dust. So to get your air-con fixed under warranty you have to leave your car in the SC for weeks? By the time it is repaired how long will it be, a month without your car? There is a saying to drive a Conti car you need to have a spare car. I thought it is an exaggeration but now....! |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Aug 31 2016, 07:36 AM) As I understand, NA major service is at 80k. Which means ,service price at 80k ($3300) is right. Which also means, 50k & 60k service should be normal. Why are those high. Check your bill on what additional work was done. Btw which SC service your car? RM3300 for any regular service for a car which costs about RM120K and usually discounted to less than RM100K is certainly painful to the owner. Even Mercedes doesn't have such a costly item in their servicing schedule. If you don't feel it you are driving below your affordability i.e. you could be driving a D-segment car. |

QUOTE(3scamry @ Nov 5 2016, 07:44 AM) I was shocked too, it seems to them piston ring is considered as seal, hence wear and tear item. I'm gonna fight with them, hence looking for more input from fellow users. Yes, piston ring can be considered a wear and tear item but it takes a very long time to wear out. I would say for most cars in excess of 200,000 km. The symptom of wear is increased engine oil consumption as the oil gets past the piston rings and is burnt and loss of power. What is the mileage of your car? |

QUOTE(3scamry @ Nov 5 2016, 08:05 PM) Hi, my car mileage is now 95,000 km. It started by showing oil pressure low on the dashboard. After 4 months in the service centre, peugeot ask me to change engine. 95,000 km is really quite early to change piston rings. Look at the colour of your exhaust. If oil is being burnt due to worn piston rings it should look bluish. Low oil pressure can also be due to oil leakage or excessive turbo consumption. No logic to change the whole engine if it is worn piston rings. They are replaceable parts. |
