Hi Peugeot owners,

I am planning to buy the 2008 Urban Suv and I wish to seek your kind advise as I am not familiar about this model.

1. Will the servicing get more expensive each time?
2. Any major issues like compressor, sensitive indicator light warning flashing and etc.

My apology for posting in this forum as I could not a forum for a 2008.

Thank you.

Should find a 2008 forum in FB etc and ask there as you is looking to buy a used one, right?
If can wait, better wait for FL 2008, probably next year.

Thanks for the response.
Will check out the FB.
I planning to buy a new unit actually.

Hi to fellow 408 owners.

Just saw a 2016 Pre Reg for 408. The looks ooze power and beauty.
Thinking of getting but can you guys share
1. Is the servicing expensive?
2. Any additional rebate given or freebies.

Thanks in advance.

what is NA?
Sales guy says the actual price is RM106K.
Based on that , it must be lowest spec.

NA = Naturally aspirated mean the car has no turbo
yes the base on the original price it is the lowest spec like mine 2.0
the higher spec or more powerful version is the 1.6 turbocharge

Thanks.
You just bought it? Can share your driving experience and the servicing charges?
I am currently driving Toyota Vios, for almost 8 years. So far the servicing charges is below RM300.00 except major service.
Engine is also reliable and still going strong as I still send in to Toyota Service Centre.

Hope you hear something like my Vios driving experience or better since the 408 NA actual selling price is similar to Altis.

Thanks.

Do you actually need to wait till 2500km or you are actually allow to change it the moment we are convenient to bring in?

well i have both toyota altis 2.0 and peugot 408 2.0 well their service is quite similar around 300 to 600 plus if i remember correctly for service schedule, in fact some service is more expensive then the peugeot according to the service schedule and i remember the estimated price for my major service is around 3k plus for my peugeot. the back seat of my toyota is smaller then the peugeot. in term of driving characteristic i love the peugeot cause is a continental car. after all altis is not worth the price.

And yes i collected my peugeot yesterday and i love it

First, my congratulation to you on getting your Peugeot 408NA.
And thanks for sharing your experience.

Now my turn to find my courage and get Peugeot 408.

I'm driving 2.0 with 110k price with free service ( part n labor ) for 5 years..currently at 63k km..
Hav to say i'm loving the car..
Satisfied with sc so far..
Already located some independent peugeot workshops for regular service after 100k km..

The only regret is i didnt expect they will lowered the price down to vios/city price NOW..felt unlucky buying this car earlier..

With 76k price tag,it should beat its competitior from all car segments..!!

That's is a real comforting.
May I ask your location?
Mine is Kota Bharu/Kuala Terengganu & Penang. Equally.

long time never read the thread and input, just to share my experience after coming 5 years and warranty about to end this May 2017...

the drive of the peugeot 408T is good and excellent, no doubt about it, the test drive you have done within less one hour will not tell you about owning it after 5 years  biggrin.gif ... the excellent of good drive point has been surpassed by many bad things and to sum if after 5 years owning it, REGRET, this is based on my own experience

1. unreliable part, warranty do help to fix without cost, but numerous visit and wasting time visiting just make you 'sakit hati', and beware of 5 years warranty, 3 years is from manufacture and another 2 years is ewp (extended warranty) by insurance company, my first aircond compressor noisy replace without issue but part have to wait 2 weeks, and currently my compressor again have loud noise, and is this is what their comment, as long the air cond still cold irrespective that loud sound from compressor, you won't be able to claim warranty, after mush hassle, they willing to try to claim from ewp party now, waiting the result... make sure you have another car as spare car when owing this peugeot... beside the know issue like battery kaput so fast, not sure the elctrical, the sensor etc etc that drain so much power, i already replace 5 times, meaning battery replacement is on annual basis  biggrin.gif

2. lousy customer services (one simple act is try to call to make an appointment for services at balakong which is near to my house), few times have to call 1-800-**** to complaint and they will call the manager to call me back and make an appointment... they should at least give good customer services to encounter the issue by the product instead of adding another bad point to their company

maybe i should compile all all faulty happen during 5 years of owning it and some is known issue to 408..  biggrin.gif

Definitely the less than 1 hour test drive will not tell us much,

Test drove 408T last saturday. Compare to my wife's vios, it's more powerful & stable car - definitely because it's different segment. rclxub.gif

Too bad they only have black color & my wife prefer white. Lucky or unluckily...didn't close the deal - despite the offer is simply irresistible (Griffe model @ RM89,888).

Well, allow me to put it this way, one man meat is another man poison..
To me the price tag of RM76,000.00 is worthy if it give me good drive for 5 years..minor issues is acceptable.
It is also most understandable of a person frustration if the car create so much problems instead of giving driving pleasure.

That's my 2 cents opinion.

We bought the car at normal price. Rm128888.00

If it is rm76k. I wont complaint much. See the difference in price? 41% discount.

Yup, that is exactly what I meant.
Which is after paying such a premium price, our expectation is a comfortable and pleasurable driving a premium car.
And not the other way around.

Seriously if the 408 2.0 is selling at normal price RM106,000.00, then I will not be buying it.

Just got my new 408 e-thp ^^ ..

Very Smooth drive with the quickshift gearbox...just the Auto ECO start stop function abit annoying & uncomfortable for passengers coz jerking when car starting, just on it when im driving alone. 

Still haven't tekan accelerator yet. All my friend told me to wait for mileage to reach 1k km to protect the engine. never rev pass 3000rpm till now.. it is true this will protect the engine or just rumours?

and the preventive maintenance.. any guidance??  rclxms.gif

Can you share your model & year.

At my location, Kota Bharu - Peugeot models on the road is less than 15 units..
Kuala Terengganu- Less than 10 units.

The soundproof padding in my engine bay is breaking apart from the tab that is holding it to the body. It is dangling and touching the hot engine cover while running. Anyone know how to fix this back? Can I get the SC to do this? Going to service it in about a month's time.

Hi, am just wondering.. is it a good idea to get 408 2.0 now with 79k price tag? am also looking at city and vios..

Hi,
Similarly the 408 2.0 price tag drew my attention last 2 weeks, and next 2 days I put down a booking fee.
Reason as we have a 2008 Vios G spec and a Y2014 City at home.

Hopefully I will be able to pick up 408 2.0 this Friday.

Finally picked up my Peugeot 408 2.0 just now.

Quick finding.
1. Quality & handling ok.
2. Interior finishing ok but slightly blemish by spot here & there. Acceptable but still Peugeot could do better to improve their image.

Later will drive from Penang to Ipoh then Gerik, and final destination - Kota Bharu.
