Hahaha......yeah long time didint hear from you! Thought you went on to other brand.

Thats good that Renautech can do it. I know William very well, if he says it can be done, then it's possible. Infact I'm waiting for MCO to be eased, will be visiting Renautech for some preventive maintenance.

haha.. i'm mostly in whatsapp group, diving most of the time

almost got a German brand back in end of 2018, the resale value of my 408 kept me away from getting it, and looking at current economy, my 408 saved me away from getting into a huge debt or worst deal in the worst time laugh.gif since there are so many unsold pre-reg/pre-owned unit, discount is bigger nowadays due to the economy, it's never too late and there's always be a better time to get one

as for my 408, mostly i won't sell, due to the resale value, plus i've submitted for "Engine oil consumption" complain right before my 7 years warranty end in Dec 2019, now still waiting for approval for new engine replacement, hopefully they approve

since my warranty end, was thinking of modding it, probably changing intake, removing catalytic converter & changing exhaust system, and remap

How much oil was your engine consuming? Did they findout the cause? What is your mileage atm?
*
like dropping in 5mm at dip stick measurement for every 500km, they only carry out pressure test on each cylinder, nothing was told from them, only ask me from time to time to drop my car there for inspection/test, and my mileage now is just over 100k km

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!

i also hope to know why, but sc don't have any answers for me

i only hope they approve my claim

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ May 14 2020, 09:13 AM)
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.
*
European cars are normally designed to run on higher operating engine temperature than Japanese car, maybe for better performance/efficiency, thus engine oil easier to evaporate & being consumed, how much oil being consumed is greatly depending on climate & driving style, but in conclusion, you can say that the engine is designed in such way, even in Audi's user manual, it ask owner to check/top up engine oil every 3000km, my friend's always bring along a bottle of engine oil in the boot for his Q5

for Honda's 1.5 turbo engine, the opposite way, the engine oil will become more laugh.gif due to petrol mixed into engine oil

Dear Sifus,

I'm considering 2nd hand 2013 408t after reading a lot from this forum. One offer I have is rm15k with 70kKM under its belt. From a trusted dealer that can give 1 year warranty. I plan to use this car for the atleast another 5 years. Is it a worth buy considering I will trade in the car for my next car.
*
first of all, what month is the car registered in 2013? As it might be still having a few months warranty left, cars in 2013 are entitled to enjoy 7 years manufacturer warranty

second, even if warranty expired, you can still check with careline or any service center for remaining recall items for your car, the Enhancement Program

worth or not, depending how you judge, i bought at 120k back in 2013, you can now buy at 15k, what else can you buy with 15k? can't even get a Myvi laugh.gif if you compare with 2013 Focus, Civic, Altis, Sylphy, Elantra, they easily cost twice or more

I'm afraid of the long wait for spare parts if car got trouble.
*
if you claim parts from sc, do expect a long wait, sometimes can be very fast

if you order parts from 3rd party sc (outside Peugeot specialist), shouldn't be any problem, fast & reasonable price

for 3rd party sc non Peugeot specialist, i wouldn't really recommend

Hi all, need some advice ... my phone magnetic holder (those cheap <30$ with a magnet that phone can attached to) kept falling off after a while .. I've already change to 3M double sided tape but doesnt seem to help as it will fall off after a while ... anyone facing similar issue or have any advice? Or it could be due to my parking (outdoor under sun)?

Thanks

Hello everybody, my name is Alvin and i just bought a used 408 1.6T this morning. Delivery will be after raya.

Please add me to the membership of this group. It's great to be here. I see that there are 226 pages on this thread, I've read maybe 30-40 pages. So please forgive me if I ask questions which have been answered before on one of the pages. I was wondering:

1. Is there an official Peugeot 408 club?
2. When are you guys going to organize a TT session?

I will share photos of my car once I get it. In the meantime, have a good day.
*
how's your car after almost a year?
i do join TT from time to time, but normally with other Peugeot model
