Did they reflash or they only clear the error code?

1st time it happen, they downgrade the ecu firmware..
the recent one, send to SC but solved within half an hour... the technician reflash/reset the gearbox firmware
and all good til today..

just changed battery (yokohama) after > 18 months..
yokohama not that bad actually..
actually being warned by sc about 3 weeks ago that battery already weak..
today noted engine only can be started after 3rd ignition..

call up batteriku.com from my office.. they brought amaron pro batteries with 30 (THIRTY) months warranty..rm 310

hope i made the right choice =)

I bought Amaron and it last for only 8 months.. I've sent for warranty claim twice. sweat.gif

anyway, I need some advice from you guys. I had changed to another battery and the power gone within a day.

Then, I've sent the car to SC but they refuse to help me check. rclxub.gif

I just want to check whether the alternator still in good working condition or not. Is there a way I can do this on my own?

Can teach me pls? notworthy.gif

Another thing, Is resetting the ECU necessary once change to new battery?

hehe 8 months r..hope i will not spend money for battery for another 30 months ..my previous batteries, both last till atleast 1.5 year..

i dont think need to reset ecu..during my previous bttery changed, i just changed date n time only..

about alternator, recently the batteriku.com foreman already check with his voltmenter..not sure how to read, but he said alternator still ok..

i think any battery shop that familiar with peugeot can  check the alternator

Icorrosion build up on the battery terminal.. so i clean it, sand paper the area, now the car able to start LOL

Want to ask from Sifu here..

So today, guy from workshop calld say that the gearbox ECU got problem.. they offer a 2nd hand ecu cost rm2.5k with installation.. what do u guys think?

Hope Sifu here can give some advice before I proceed with repair. Thanks.

If your car is 408t, the gb is Aisin AT6. This is a reliable gb, yours is the 1st problem I've herad. My car is completing 6years , starting 7th middle of this month,still very smooth. I would suggest you visit Renautech. 

If your car is 408NA, the gb is MT4 ( I may have the name wrong). A few issues have been reported by owners with this gb. I would suggest you visit Renautech. 

I don't trust the monkeys at SC! I fully recommend Renautech or Bros Auto. These guys know what they are doing. 2 months ago did major service at Renautech. Cost was $1K cheaper & I know for a fact proper work was done, I did some checking on my own! My engine is top notch and GB is still sikly smooth!

Thanks so much for your input Sky..

Btw.. new GB ECU cost rm3.9k..
