Benefit of warranty depends largely on luck or badluck. Some guys had a lot of claims, warranty was great benefit to them,otherwise a big hole in the pocket.

As for me in the last three years claim 3 small items only. But I still think it is worth keeping first 3 year warranty. My car has been really good,very smooth gb and healthy engine. Now if I can find a good Peugeot workshop, I'm surely going to break warranty. I;m going to try Euro Tech Auto at Taman Mayang, PJ.

Will let you guys know the quality of work.

Hi bro.
I visited Euro Tech Auto yesterday. They seem competent and diagnosed my problem to be a faulty rear wheel speed sensor.This workshop handles many European models,they don't specialise on Peugeot. Saw a number of Audi's and Golf GTIs.

However I've decided to try another workshop in Kauy Ara that specialises on Peugeots and Citroens, recommended by a friend. Will let you know about this workshop.

ok ok .. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
it benefit to others peugeot users too ! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

this Euro Tech Auto Works is different with the taman mayang Euro Tech Auto ?
cause the name look same .. sweat.gif sweat.gif
anyway i guess we should pin the good reputation workshop at first page ...
so that we can have a future reference rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
anyway $360 i feel is reasonable ...
i guess SC will include those diagnose fees this that .. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Hi guys.. want to ask, will upgrading the stock anti-roll bar and springs into aftermarket will give much different in term of handling and comfort on high speed?
*
anti-roll bar not much u can feel ..
springs : harder u change lesser the comfort ..
anyway the turbo version suspension is good enough .. not so hard ..
if no family .. i guess is ok to change it harder .. but from KL to ipoh ..
need to have a stop at bidor for butt massage .. ehehehehehe

What my thinking is, the comfort is enough for me and my family. But during fast corner, I feel like the car is not very stable. And on straight line, I can't go more than 170kmj. If I do that, I already feel like loosing control of the car.
*
u are the 2.0NA or 1.6t ?
so far i drive my 1.6t from kl to kuantan ..
after gombak tol to karak tol is most fun to drive ..
fast corner everything is great ..
been follow other lux car after enter karak tol at 180km/h is still firm ..
sometime might be your tire and tire pressure (balancing etc etc) ...

Thanks for the suggestion. The clip is broken so I tried using blutac (somethings like bubble gum) to hold it. Works for a while but will drop off and the noise comes back again. That's why looking to replace it. Anywhere to get cheap ones?

last time i have search around .. but taobao can easily get ..
you may try ..

In theory if a car is not tuned for RON 97,it will make no difference. Our car is not tuned for it, so using RON 97 is just burning cash.

That is theory, in real life RON 97 has small amounts of performance additives. As a result of these additives, there is a difference in performance. I've tried and found BP RON97 to be best performing, best opmmph.

agree on this ... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif using ron97 few months and notice better response and engine more silent ..

Have you tried the different brands. Which one you find best?
*
BHP : the best i find out .. it feel significant better response .. but not easy to get around my house ... so .. i try shell ..
SHELL : before 4M euro .. better response if compare to RON95 and engine sound is lower (easy notice especially when u overtake or speeding)
SHELL : now 4M euro .. better alot than the old non 4M euro .. almost like last time when i use BHP ...

currently use : SHELL RON97 (4M euro) rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
easier to get around house so .... thumbup.gif
