Hi hannibal, same thing happened to my 308 early this during extended warranty period. Got engine faulty error with engine was at high vibration and no power.

Sent my car to Kota Damansara SC. They managed to settle it without having to change my hpfp, saying that its the early sign fp starts failing. No reoccurence ever since.

I believe its covered under extended warranty as they were preparing for the paperworks concurrently when the car was diagnosed. I had claimed new compressor and windspeed sensor during my extended warranty period, so as long u abide with the service mileage requirement, should be no issue. Of course it is the waiting time that will kill u softly.

It is the high pressure fuel pump. My 3008 also same. One day, while in KD, engine fault came up. Sent car to KD SC and they only did an ECU reset. Car was ok for a while till my trip to Ipoh. Upon returning from Ipoh, engine fault came back and this time, car seriously underpowered. Can't go any faster than 90kph.

Went back to KD SC and found out I can't claim under Extended Warranty because previous owner (I was the 2nd owner) exceed last service by 40km. Appealed at Glenmarie and no avail. Finally, called up some friends and they recommended me Peug Auto in Glenmarie who replaced the high pressure fuel pump plus labor at RM 2k flat. No GST. Took the offer because car already down for nearly a month. If going there, look for Puru. Nice fella and formerly with Naza Peugeot. He shared many horror stories with Naza.

Since warranty over, I now service outside. More than 70% cheaper than Naza!

Tks for replying. It's stock Continental tyres. I thought wheel alignment would have been done when new car was delivered.  Yes this car could easily go up to 170-180 if not for the vibration.

I had the same vibration when slowing down from 130kph. Turns out both front discs have warped.

40km mileage exceeded and already void warranty? Wth.. i thought margin should be 500km even within extended warranty? I've claimed a few at Kuantan SC and my mileage was definitely way way exceed above 40km. Ridiculous.

I'm going to claim this RM 2K back from the used car dealer because he signed a black and white stating car still under warranty when I bought it. Always get a black and white confirmation from the user car dealer whenever u purchase anything with extended warranty.

Anyone ever experience this problem before?

This happened only when car is warmed up.
When accelerate, car feels like mild jerk.
Same feeling like you keep on pressing & letting go the throttle pedal.

Other symptom are when car idle, either N / P gear. Press throttle pedal so rpm reach 1.3k +- (constantly).
Then I will notice the rpm needle move slightly up and down, engine can be heard go slightly rev up and down.

Same problem as my 3008. OBD revealed O2 secondary faulty (the one after the cat).
