The engine was sound like diesel engine while driving. According to the technician, the chain was knocking against the cover and cannot be repair. Unfortunately that mine was just over 3 yrs and therefore no longer covered under warranty.

I was also being told to do the engine decarb coz the carbon buildup was quite bad. They mentioned the enhanced version of 408T engine does not really fixed the carbo build up problem but somehow delaying the buildup. Eventually it's still happened for all GDI engine.

I was charged for a can of additive (RM196.00) to be added in during my next full tank fuel pump.

Timing chain is covered in the 1st 3years. It is not covered in the next 2year warranty. The 2year warranty is covered by Inc Co. And it is very vague what exactly is covered. Some of us are dumping this balance 2year warranty in the toilet.

If you have timing chain problem, better claim right away!

I will send my 408T for 100000km service... anyone has an estimate cost at SC? Before doing the service, i will ask them about extended warranty since my car has alittel bit of oil leaking at top head gasket,changed it once for foc of factory warranty..and also my turbo gives hissing sound which i believe it has no sound before.. if extended warranty does not cover all these, i better find Peugeot specialist out there to carry out my 100000km service which definitely would be much cheaper. I am using Mobil 1 and a mechanic told me to change to thicker oil grade. Opinions please

Anyone could give any trusted and realiable workshop to do major service on my 408T in Kuantan or Kuala Lumpur?

Although all parts of the engine are manufactured to a standard spec., it is possible to encounter a technical issue like yours occasionally. It is rare,but has happened. You may try thicker viscosity and see if that stops the leak. IMO beyond 40viscosity not advisable. Btw, since top gasket requires a change, might as well do a decarbo . As preventive measure,since you already hit 100k

There are a few Peugeot workshops in the KL area. Front page of this thread has the contacts & address.

I'm also surprised that our engine has this premature carbon built up. But it happened, i was standing supervision during decarbonisation process. My mechanic snap those pics using my phone. The carbon residue is there...

Years back later i was read at the net that our engine was successfully tested up to 60k without carbon  built  up due to new mod intoduced for EP6CDTM.
For me any DI engine will experience this whether excessive carbon built up or not.

This is very subjective, driving style, combustion performance  as well as fuel quality. Since owning my lion every weekend i drive to KL from Karak. 1hr drive layan corner tekan kaw2. Happy pug!. Weekdays  drive 3km from home to office.

What is the method to do decarbo? Any workshops can do it?

Anywhere i can upgrade my 408T software to stage 2 performance without changing parts? Is it safe? I mean damaging the engine maybe.. i used to chase after toyota prius C last month in Grik...and i would say it was not easy also to overtake that car...its acceleration shocked me up ... my lion needs to work harder but when it comes to selekoh... conti has its own character... any comments on this -

checking back in, 3 years + 408T, coolant starts to leak. Send to SC few times, same story "we did pressure test and we didn't find any leakage anywhere". Top-up the coolant to about 75% of the container and return the car to me.

Now it has gone below min within a month, and I just send it back to Balakong SC this morning. I told them please check again, it might be the water pump, all they can say is "we will check and revert".

Also my gear knob cracked like our bros here, can't claim coz this is not covered under the extended warranty duh...

By the way, I see some mentioned about foul smell coming from dashboard, mine having the same problem as well. But what do you guys tell them to rectify? The Balakong SC technician ask me to put charcoal in the car to solve it sleep.gif

I bought the gear knob for RM70 on Mudah.my . Quality is 80 percent to the original..who cares...sc quotes me for RM300..hahaha

The Stage 2 map is more aggressive than Stage 1 (obviously), so you need supporting hardware to support the new map. You can still go and do a Stage 2 map, but i think it is a waste of money since you wont be able to extract out the performance potential of the Stage 2 map (most probably it will still be a Stage 1 performance gain). Anyways, better to pasang all your performance parts first, then one-shot go do tuning. If not you waste alot of money. You tune now with stock car parts, then later you mod, you have to retune again, mod, retune again. Bazir duit.

If you on a budget, i suggest a drop-in filter and a downpipe. This will give you an increase in performance which you can feel. This are all plug-and-play items.

As for the selekoh issue.....Prius lighter....That makes it more nimble and easier to handle...The electric motor has no lag and sends all the torque to the wheels at very very low rpm....So pick up wise i wont be surprise it will be faster....But you should be able to catch up from mid-range onwards....Maybe the Prius got secret mods ler..... cool2.gif Better suspension and tyres will improve the cornering abilities but at the expense of comfort.......

Happy modding. May you find the power you seek  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

I love my 408 Turbo year 2013(July). I am clocking 128000 km on mileage. My 3 yrs or 100,000 warranty by Peugeot was awesome and i had no problem at all while complaining at Kuala Terengganu Branch. 2 yrs extended warranty by insurance for me is nonsense since it covers ònly the engine and gearbox. Engine means the engine itself and other parts outside of the engine are not tolerated. E.g. turbo and bla..bla... these are what i have experienced so far since 105000 km and i am not complaining about the parts price but i am wondering whether my lions parts are equipped with the lowest quality of parts. So humiliating.. senang rosak..proton wira pun lagi lambat rosak..HAHAHAA.

List of the 'stupidity' since 105000 - 128000 km
It starts with the valve cover (replace) then...next..next...
a. Turbo charger (crack at the air intake wall). Replace.
b. ABS sensor .replace
c. High pressure turbo sensor Replace
d. Aircond compressor & condenser.

Guess what... the mechanic told me "u kira lambat kena... ramai org sudah kena lagi awal lor" . He showed me the records.. i felt blessed..hahahahahaa..

TQ Ali Express online platform for China OEM part (turbo charger). Still looking for original parts ka? 3 yrs plus suda expired semua. No.need la bros..dont waste ur money on original parts lor..

I.will not buy any Naza disributed cars in future. My 7 years Camry and 9 yrs Harrier are so happy to serve with a very minimal.default and I would not blame Toyota if the main parts needed to be replaced after 7 yrs..but unluckily they are still.as handsome.as before. . bye2 NAZA.

P/s: i write this based on my personal experience and 3 yrs.of servicing car at KT branch was.awesome. my main point is why the parts are too not realiable when it reaches 3-4yrs.
