by right water level doesn't drop, topping up means leaking already

check for colour stains after you stop

otherwise just drive in and buy the a kopi-o to fix it

They told not cover under extended warranty....i found outside selling Rm240 for after market n original is Rm395

But i m curious why so fast the oxygen sensor can spoilt....my mileage just 45k

Be ALERT of your temperature sensor!

Last week when i stopped my car, i heard water leaking sound and saw a lot of water dripping from the engine bay to the floor. When i open the hood, coolant level already empty. Water burst out from the coolant cap and there are boiling sound from inside the engine. Luckily this happen to me while the engine already stopped.

Next morning, i topup coolant/water level and start the engine, everything seems ok except the temperature sensor didnt go up at all. So i drove the car to SC. During driving temp reading fluctuate from 0 to 90degc. When arrive at SC, the tech mention temp sensor issue. Then i ask him, should there be a recall of it? Then he checked yes there is recall for my car for temp sensor and water pump.

The thing is, i believe this recall issue has long been issue for older cars. They didnt take the effort to check my car recall status during normal servicing last 2 months. Why wait until serious failure occur then only talk about recall?!!

When your temperature sensor wrongly show lower temperature, the engine system will think the engine already cool therefore it will stop water circulation and lead to high temperature.

Anyway just as a guide, my car temp sensor has been hovering around 70 to 90 degC for quite a few months already. Just take note that its a sign that your temp sensor got issue. And better personally ask them to check for recall during your service visit and insist for appointment.

The temp. should be exactly 90 deg.,not more not less. 90 deg is the optimum operating temp. As most ppl are not aware, I wrote extensively on this for the benefit of all. Look back on the thread.

If you can't find it, just remember it must be 90 deg. The engine will develop problems if operated outside optimum temp. for prolong periods. This applies even for prolong operation below 90deg.

It is not like the old engines where thermostat open and shut to maintain coolant temperature. On this engine thermostat controls coolant temperature, but is regulated by ECU.If the ECU dose not get the right feedback signals, command signals will be erroneous which in turn will cause problems for the engine.

for the water pump
so far no....only now we focus on turbo version.
your 408NA is same as 407 water pump....very reliable...no issues on that.

this recall is more toward 508 and 208...many improvement have been made for those two model.

Will have to depend on situation,usually we put priority on owner that have warranty still valid.but recall is sure been in placed to replace phrase by phrase .it just matter of time

Usually the only way to do it is a remap. Becoz when you want to remap, the tuner will have to break the security lock. Kind of like a jail break for iphone. Hahahahahah. Or if you can find a tuner who just willing to break the lock for u and dont do a remap.....  
    Another topic. If my car no more warranty already. How do i go about getting the replacement? I mean how can i be entitled to the recall program? Any SC that is good/efficient/helpful on the recall?

My 408 NA is almost completing two months in Glemarie SC. Temperature fluctuates every-time the car stopped or become idle. But it becomes normal once the car started to move. SC couldn't solve the problem till today. Its becoming non reliable car for me now onwards. OD 92000KM, 3 years old.

Hey guys and sifus,

May I know which engine, 2.0 or 1.6T are more efficient and reliable? Do share some maintenance cost for both of this engine. Thank you for your time on answering it.

Does air con compressor cover under warranty?

I m using it....fixed at Kajang....so far ok.... they giving 2 years warranty

Can control the mfd..... no issue

how is the symptom when aircond compressor have problem ?
