QUOTE(vknight @ Oct 21 2015, 03:34 PM) However, still having the problem whereby when petrol is down qo quarter tank, there are minor pullbacks kicking in. What does the pullback means? By the way, i've attached a video link regarding the noise that my engine has produced. Anyone knows whats the problem with it? the noise doesn't come out everytime, its the second time that i heard the same noise coming out from the engine when the engine is hot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FU-WxC1aw8This post has been edited by Kananana: Oct 24 2015, 03:48 PM

Hey, just wanna ask u guys, whether our 408 can have the trip computer shown on the radio display cos I saw a 408 2.0 has it but I can't do that in my 1.6 thp. Another thing I notice is that 308 has the "oil OK" sign every time u start the car but not in mine, is it just me or 408 is like this?

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 14 2015, 06:00 PM) Yes you can. Select the mode button( top left near volume control) on the radio panel. Change trip display by pressing center button on wiper stock. 'Oil OK' display is not available on 408. Hmm… my mode button only changes between 3 screens, radio, phone and time/date… can t find the trip display, the wiper stalk no matter how I press it just changes the display in front of the steering

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 15 2015, 08:16 AM) Trip display change by pressing the wiper stalk button should be repeated at centre mfd. If selecting the mode button does not include trip indications,perhaps yours needs a software reload. Ok, I'll inform sc regarding this, thanks a lot… haha. btw, when I put the car in neutral and rev the engine, a rattling sound comes out from the engine bay once I let go the accelerator, is this normal? And, is it normal that the coolant level is below the minimum level? It's a less than 1 year old car. This post has been edited by Kananana: Nov 15 2015, 10:43 AM

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 15 2015, 11:53 PM) The rattling noise is abnormal. My car is on the 4th year, I do not have such noise. Coolant level on your car should not drop. Most likely there a small leak at the water pump. I had similar drop in coolant level. For the last 3years every time I complained, SC said no leak and just topped up coolant. At the end of 3rd year water pump was changed at major service. Guess what...... the leak has stopped like magic! Ooh ok… haha… so the water pump was changed under the warranty?

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 16 2015, 09:22 AM) No la, they played me by saying no leak all the while. Major service is bored by customer, so in the end I had to pay. Just keep insisting to change water pump as long as the level is dropping. Ask them where is the water going, if it's not a leak. If you got a spare car, refuse to accept your Pug until water pump is changed. But try to get the pump changed at Belakong or Glenmari. I feel you may have better success at these 2 SC. Ok ok … I should be visiting sc next two weeks for 20k service… but I'm from johor so hope that the sc will change for me… btw, if I insist them on the problem but they do not do anything can I refuse to pay until they provide me a satisfactory solution? Cos I've had very bad experience with the sc here… very very bad…

QUOTE(mayalab @ Nov 16 2015, 10:03 AM) May i know which SC do you visit in Johor? Thanks. I went to both kebun teh and plentong sc… both shit to the max, kebun teh marginally better but still very bad. Last time I went kebun teh and ask them to check my ac as it produces a rattling sound when I turn it on while in gear car not moving… and they say ac got sound, then I ask so claim warranty lo, they say can't, computer scan no error… I was like wth… are they stupid or what… need to shoot them again this coming service… This post has been edited by Kananana: Nov 16 2015, 01:32 PM

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 16 2015, 03:19 PM) Wow, if you already have bad experience with the SC, then going to be problem la. I really don't know how to advise you. Maybe bro jfcheong or others from johor can give some advise! How much reduction in coolant is considered abnormal? My car now is currently mileage 19k, had never top up any coolant(did not see charges for top up in 10k service invoice) and the coolant level in the coolant reservoir now is just a little bit below the minimum line. I think they would probably reply me that, "well we don't see any leaks, so can't claim". This post has been edited by Kananana: Nov 16 2015, 08:43 PM

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 17 2015, 08:12 AM) I consider any topup abnormal. In this engine the only reason for level drop is a leak. Any leak, no matter how small is not acceptable.My level would be just above min, at every service. I noticed the level drop in my car by the 1st service,had done only 6k. From then on for 3years it was the same story "no leak, we have topped coolant". The question I failed to ask was " no leak, where has the fluid gone"? Coolant topup is not charged, so not indicated at invoice. Maybe not to alert owner! I do a pre service & after service inspection. I picked up the level drop. Ok ok … I'll see what I can do at sc… thanks so much for all the explanation… haha

QUOTE(mayalab @ Nov 17 2015, 08:50 PM) New 408 is offering a pretty attractive price now. ~RM104K for TE spec with 5 years free servicing. But i am holding back my purchase now. No doubt it is a nice spacious car to drive. I have heard too many complaints on the poor service from the SC in Johor. Sigh. What a pity... I think most brands are more or less the same when it comes to claiming something from the warranty… even Honda(I have a Honda city too)... I guess you just need to prepare yourself to negotiate with the sc in order to produce a favorable outcome… haha. Some more the promo now is so attractive… I bought my car at the same price but no free service… damn it

hey guys... have you guys encountered rear axle bent problem? today i went to a trye shop to do wheel alignment as i found that my tyre wear is uneven. Then the mechanic told me that the rear axle is bent and the rear axle is the fixed type and no adjustment can be made on the rear and also no matter how i do alignment it will cause my front left wheel to wear unevenly...He told me to go back sc and claim warranty... so is this covered under warranty? I've attached a picture that he told me to take down and show it to the sc...some advice pls...seemed like serious problem  BTW my car is just a little over 20k mileage and less than 1 year car This post has been edited by Kananana: Dec 5 2015, 03:57 PM

QUOTE(J1@l_ l_l l\l @ Dec 5 2015, 10:27 PM) Rear toe in of 34 minit you mean? I believe the rear axle is fixed able and it's non adjustable. But I have encountered alignment tool not calibrated and giving high percentage of error and since alignment is cheap, you might want to consider look for another alignment machine that is properly calibrated and cross-check with this result. You can actually ask them to print you a report, it's customer's right to get a alignment report but most "ahbeng" or "ahkau" workshops won't bother about that. Yup..that's what i mean... I've already went to two tyre shop..the first one didn't tell me any problem and he just did alignment for my car...but after driven for a few weeks I still notice the car's eating the tyre thread...I'll be visiting sc this coming Thursday to check on my low coolant level problem...will ask sc regarding this problem....anyway, if the rear axle is found broken or whatever describes it, is it under warranty or is it a wear n tear part? hopefully under warranty

QUOTE(YamatehGombak @ Dec 6 2015, 04:37 PM) Is it normal that the aircond for 408 turbo is really not that cold in the afternoon when its hot outside? I just got my car yesterday and that is the first thing that bothers me about the car. Is it really cnt do anything about it? When at night or when its not much of the sun outside the aircond will be okay. This is so disappointing since it is not a cheap car to start with 😑 Have you tinted your car? That's what i felt when i first took the car... after tinting it feels much better..i think it's to do with the big windscreen

I went to two tyre shop already.. the first one i saw him like very blur not knowing what to do when he saw the undercarriage of the car...then i notice the front tyre is still wearing unevenly then took the car to second tyre shop then only i was told of this situation This post has been edited by Kananana: Dec 6 2015, 09:15 PM

QUOTE(vknight @ Dec 13 2015, 10:50 PM) Hi Guys Just to keep you guys updated. My car finally came back. The ECU was changed and costs around RM4335 - Under Warranty. Also did the 1 year service which came to around RM480. Car is smooth now. My wife pushed to 170 and the car was smooth. The temperature sensor and water pump changed under "Recall". Peugeot 408 has recall????

Hey guys,
I saw the service schedule for 408 in the previous thread, why is it the spark plugs needed to be replaced such early (40k) and the interval is so short (replace again at 60K). And if i'm not wrong 408 turbo uses iridium spark plugs, should last longer that it is stated in that schedule. Another thing is, what does the air filter element do? is it compulsory to change?

Hey guys, my 408 turbo 1 year old recently its air-cond is malfunctioning, the symptoms are as below:
1. Start the car, turn on the air-cond, got fan but no cold air, drive a few km cold air suddenly comes out. 2. Start the car, turn on the air-cond, got cold air, but after few minutes no more cold air then after few restart of the air cond, the cold air comes back.
However, it happens randomly, what could be the cause and how do i explain to SC if the problem happens randomly.
Thank you

QUOTE(mna_1402 @ Feb 29 2016, 11:44 AM) Based on my experience, soon your aircond compressor gonna kaput. Maybe can still last for 1-2months time. No harm to drive the car even if the aircon compressor fail. Just go to nearest SC. The tech might be able to confirm faulty compressor if got abnormal sound. ok ok..i already made an appointment with the SC..hope they can rectify the problem during the apointment..haha
