Please noted that the extra 2 years warranty is only valid for those 408T registered between year 2011 to 31st Dec 2015.
Mine is 2016 408TLE version which does no entitle for this extension.
Luckily my lion is still under pristine condition after 1.5 years.
I yet to plan to activate the recall program for my car since most of the parts are still fine working condition.

sorry to ask, it is cover for Citroen? for the warranty
really love the Citroen DS5 model, but it is using a old type turbo engine? since it 156hp 1.6T?

for Hankook, u have to search their malaysia website & contact them for checking which branch have that tyre. Of coz they will checking it for your tyre size.
Price wise, not sure, but review mostly said Hankook is quite a good tyre plus it is relatively cheaper than most brand

Thanks bro. That's good to know. Right now I'm like a scared cat driving a Pug. Will be sending my car to Peugeot SC the second time to fix the keyless lock and unlock function after the technicians screwed that up when they were fixing the massage function. Haha, Pugs are crazier than french girls.

Ask sc to check your car properly

Hi all,

My 408 got the "Engine Fault - Repair Needed" pop up message again.
This time they checked and suspected engine oil leaking.
After topped up 1L, they ask me to monitor 1k mileage before sending back SC again for the scan. If confirm leaking, they will request HQ to replace the engine for me under the 7yr warranty.
Any guys have this problem so far? Is it the Turbo problem someone had mentioned earlier?
Not sure when they said replace engine, is it really the whole engine?
*
Huh scary betol. Positive side, u will end up with a brand new engine

Hi all bro here. I am has targeted the Peugeot 408 on 1.6 Turbo year 2016. It has at this one used car shop in Kajang. First time just see only and this car look like new one. Get the particular and check with Peugeot service center. Found all the service is been follow and the millage also similar with actual in car. The SC also confirm no major part replacement due to guarantee. And this car still have guarantee until March 2021. And for second time go to shop for test drive with wifey. Found the car is perform well and we quit satisfy. With OTR price just around RM 38K. For me it really value for money.
Anyhow, I am would like to get more input and comment as I am very weird that how 3 year old car that price RM 120k for new one can be sold not enough 35% of it original price. Why the resale value is very low. And if possible other input before I am going to put deposit. Thanks in advance and if put in wrong forum.. Forgive me ya...
*
these brand and ford model have nearly 0 resale value for a reason. can read in forum and get the idea

Here's another confirmation on SCs poor quality of work and maybe more!

6 months ago I went in for timming chain recall. It was the 7th year of ownership & ther was nothing wrong with my car. The old timming was working fine apart from the cold start clatter for a few seconds.

However, as timming chain is a critical equipment, if it snaps serious and expensive damage is likely and a recall is a rengineered component, I decided to get it changed!

Damn, 6 months later, cold start clatter is more serious! Apart form the clatter for a few seconds,there is additional sound of chain hitting its guides! Its a loud wierd sound for 1 second or more!

Although it only happens on cold starts and dissapears, nevertheless, it is classice example of poor quality of work!

Maybe the old tensioner was put back as it probably was in resonable shape then! Of course receipt indicates change! I have no way of confirming, just dont trust SC!!!

Sometime it is not sure whether it is the sc workmanship issues, design errors or quality itself

That is pretty heavy,its about 1liter/500km. I would have loved to know the causes!

Normal oil consumption for Prince engine is 1liter/5kkm.

Good you are getting a new engine!
*
are they designed that way? i know bmw and audi also had this issues, in which their sc give free oil top up within warranty period. 5k km on any bmw sure need to top up and that is not a M model car.

but on japan sedan 2.0, 2.4, 2.5 does not had this issues.

Unfortunately there is no service schedule for aircon. I didn't do any thing for 4 years. One fine day compressor kong! Got it replaced & mechanic told me this model is built to European spec, as such needs service once a year!
*
Had read shop aircond suggest to flushing aircond for servicing, change compressor old oil etc. But dont buy that idea as i believe it will broke when its time due.

Will it prolong the compressor/aircond life via servicing etc?

Yes mismatched spring & absorber will cause damage to absorber.  It's best to get some professional advise!

This cabon cleaner additive works on piston only. Since its added to fuel, the vales do not get cleaned. Quite alot of carbon builds up behind valve area. That needs to be cleaned also. My sggestion would be walnut blast. I'm waiting on interstate travell lift. Already made appointment at Renautech for walnut blast with major service.

These are damn good. But problem in getting new Peugeot in Malaysia is poor RV. When you get tired of it & want to sell to move on to something better, you are stuck with poor RV!

For this reason, now I only look for used units!

Hi  anyone renew their 2012 insurance lately? May I know what is the market value? My insurer told me rm28k. Too high isn't it?

just survey online and purchase online directly can deduct 10% rebates. Ask insurance guys, sure they love adding more for insured value.

Gais... My pug is due for service but mileage managed to clock 3,500 km since the last service. Less driving due to movement restriction for the past few months. I am thinking to wait until 5,000 km before sending the car for service. Shall i do that?
*
if your car is no more under warranty, and if you used a fully synthetic last service, u can let it until 1 year duration. this from what I heard in Autotec segment in Traxx FM last time
