Glad to know there is a club for this car, i just bought 408 1.6thp automatic 2012 recently and this is my first experience driving peugeot cars so im not really sure if below condition is normal for a peugeot cars
1. the clutch wont disangaged after i release the gas when the car is moving, what i remember from other cars it will auto disangaged and will back to angaged right after i hit the pedal again.
2. rattling sound at the front around turbo parts when i hit the gas, even at P and N gear.
3. breaks feels so tight even i tried to gently hit it but still breaking a lot, kinda hard to make a smooth stop using this car.

and also i have a few general questions
1. what is the function of winter mode at this car, the button located near the sport mode beside gear lever.
2. is there any recomendation for peugeot specialist near cyberjaya? the one got people really want to hear customer explain everything before doing any checking.

Thankyou for the response! now i can start to understand how my car behavior.

Just a few weeks ago i decide to do top overhaul at Octane Speedwork because i feels my car is lack of power on the high and low rpm even though she still can reach 170kmh+ with no issue.

After getting top overhaul i can feel big improvement in low rpm, but sunddenly check engine is on everytime the car try to run 150kmh with P0299 error code, from Octane simply suggest me to replace the turbo core and its hard for me to believe that turbo core is the actual problem. My suspect is just becuse some pipe not installed properly.

1. Is there any recommended place to check this kind of issue? And what kind of checking need to be done for it? (i tried to check the diverter valve and the membran still ok)

2. another things i notice after top overhaul is the cooling system is off right after i turn off the engine, because im aware that before overhaul this radiator and blower will keep on for about 30s-1mnt after the engine off, i thought that is normal for engine with turbo. But now the car act differently, which one is normal?

3. Anw this P0299 code cause the car enter limp home mode until getting restart, but the check engine light keep on until some point it will auto off. Until now im not sure how to make the check engine light off. Maybe anyone here can advice how to clear it? i tried to use bluetooth OBD2 reader + Car Scanner app to clear the code but it cant be cleared.
