Just to express my opinion after owning 408T for 4 years coming may 16 and clock 90k km on my 408T...

Any one ask whether happy to own it, I will honestly said not at all, 4 years of owning it this is the major replacement owning it for 4 years
1. Aircond Cooling coil
2. Aircond compressor
3. THP high pressure fuel

The last major replacement

4. Brake disc on front wheel

Yes it need to be replaced after change brake pad for 2nd time, and the gear knob broken when the car return after services last saturday, it is good when sent in... almost give up owning it, do not get me wrong, the drive is good but owning and maintain is really killing... wonder how other ppl honestly feel owning it...

I believe that's the price owning a continental car right? That's why Japanese cars still dominating the market.

If you don't mind, may I ask how much is the cost of replacing/repairing all the 4 items mentioned above? I just received my 408T last week, after much struggle I decided to proceed with it. Maybe a wrong move, maybe a correct move, I'm not sure.

All item claim under warranty except item 4, don't doubt after u commit, just enjoy the ride and be patient to own and maintain it

Good for u if manage to get it free under warranty, mine also broken after 4 years coming may 16, the sc said the warranty for it already finish as that gear knob is not part of extended warranty, although when I send my car for service the knob is good, too tired to argue with them , get a replacement from a seller for peugeot parts in fb, instead replace with the same knob, I opt to replace with diff gear knob, not sure from which model

Yes major service on Contis is high. Major service is at the end of 3rd year, so its not a yearly expense. At this service all fluids and some essential engine parts are changed, hence the high price. It is essential,cos the THP is a high performance engine. There's greater wear & tear on performance machines than a NA. After major service was done on my engine, it has an amazing, like new feel. I was absolutely overjoyed to have my engine running so crisp, even after 3years!

Water pumps & turbo were a problem on early 3008s. Turbo units are redesigned, water pump is on the recall list presently. I believe that problem is also solved.

BTW, I test drove BMW X1. To my surprise it did not handle corners as well as the 3008. 3008s body roll at corners was very well controlled.

Skyjack, I believe you among the early one getting 408, so u have change to 3008? Though same engine, did u feel 3008 better than 408?

Hi, anyone facing aircond compressor with loudly sound and hot air once on? I had sent my car nearest sc and they request to left for 3 days. Than they topup gas with charges  rm120++, and asked return if same problem happened. Wonder why they can't check it during topup gas like exrlternal aircond shop with expert knowledge within an hour. So just left my car for 3 days for topup gas? What a huge job they did to my car?
So decided to send my car for checking after few days, they BELIEVED shld caused by faulty  compressor. Sc said need to left for 14 days waiting for insurance adjuster come checking and approved for claim under ew. But the condenser need to change together with compressor, and condenser will be charged for rm1500++, it was not covered by ew.
Just saw someone said condensor was under ew, and my car had left at sc for 8 days. Now try to give cilc call on tomorrow to clarify it, hope recommend  from all peug lover here.
Tqvm and happy deepavali to  all, drive safely to celebrate this big day.

long time never read the thread and input, just to share my experience after coming 5 years and warranty about to end this May 2017...

the drive of the peugeot 408T is good and excellent, no doubt about it, the test drive you have done within less one hour will not tell you about owning it after 5 years biggrin.gif ... the excellent of good drive point has been surpassed by many bad things and to sum if after 5 years owning it, REGRET, this is based on my own experience

1. unreliable part, warranty do help to fix without cost, but numerous visit and wasting time visiting just make you 'sakit hati', and beware of 5 years warranty, 3 years is from manufacture and another 2 years is ewp (extended warranty) by insurance company, my first aircond compressor noisy replace without issue but part have to wait 2 weeks, and currently my compressor again have loud noise, and is this is what their comment, as long the air cond still cold irrespective that loud sound from compressor, you won't be able to claim warranty, after mush hassle, they willing to try to claim from ewp party now, waiting the result... make sure you have another car as spare car when owing this peugeot... beside the know issue like battery kaput so fast, not sure the elctrical, the sensor etc etc that drain so much power, i already replace 5 times, meaning battery replacement is on annual basis biggrin.gif

2. lousy customer services (one simple act is try to call to make an appointment for services at balakong which is near to my house), few times have to call 1-800-**** to complaint and they will call the manager to call me back and make an appointment... they should at least give good customer services to encounter the issue by the product instead of adding another bad point to their company

maybe i should compile all all faulty happen during 5 years of owning it and some is known issue to 408.. biggrin.gif
